This operating event can be more of a PARTY than a contest. If you want some easy

be just what you need:

MOBILE QSO PARTY
This event is held on the third Saturday in March from 0001 to 2359 UTC. 

All general rules are applicable with the following exceptions:
This is a mobile QSO Party, therefore only mobile stations
will submit logs, however, fixed stations are encouraged to
participate to help give out points and collect counties. Mobile
applies to car, truck, RV, motorcycle, boat, airplane or other
mode of transportation. If in doubt, contact the QSO Party
Manager. A station operating a mobile entry must be a true
mobile. Sitting in the driveway and using the base station
antenna or amplifier, or using commercial power is not
permitted. RV generators are permitted only if the generator
is used while in transit (moving).
Operation while your vehicle is parked across a county line,
occupying two counties, counts as two counties and two
contacts. Marine and aeronautical mobiles must be able to
establish counties of operation. Safety is paramount while
operating mobile. If you are unable to park near multiple
county lines due to safety issues (i.e. on a bridge, on a
freeway, etc.), please move to the closest area which would
provide the best operating conditions and still be able to give
out multiple counties.
The on-the-air exchange shall be Call, Name, QTH, 10-10
Number (if available) and County. Scoring will be the same
as other 10-10 QSO Parties. 2 points awarded for contacts
with a 10-10# and 1 point awarded for contacts without a 10-
10#. Duplicate entries are allowed when working in multiple
counties. (i.e. if K4HAV is a on 3 county line and he works
K4JPC, That would count as 3 contacts, one for each
County). Logs must be in date/time order and list Date, UTC time, County worked from (If 
applicable), Call, Name, 10-10# (zero 0 if none), County Worked, QTH and Contact Point 
Value.
