Even if someone posts the correct answer, we will continue posting clearer, larger photos on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We are giving everyone a chance to shout out HD Alex&#8217;s location, but you will have a better chance of winning if you post the answer from both your Twitter and Facebook accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Once the contest finishes on Thursday, HostDime will put all of the contestants&#8217; names who answered correctly into a hat and randomly select a winner. We will reward that person by announcing their name on our Facebook, Twitter, and our recently updated HD Connect newsletter along with sending an original HostDime Alex the Trexi in the mail; Free of charge. Unfortunately, for right now at least, we can only let you win once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Located below is the first picture:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostdime.com\/images\/blog\/where\/june-final.jpg\" alt=\"Where's Alex?
