        <h3>From Tents to Resorts</h3>
        <p>
          Lake Tahoe is full of wonderful places to stay. You have the ability to sleep in the outdoors in a tent, or relax like a king at a five star resort. Here are our top three resorts:
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#hotels">Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel</a></li>
          <li><a href="#resorts">South Lake Tahoe Resorts</a></li>
          <li><a href="#lodging">Tahoe Ski Resort Lodging</a></li>
        </ul>       
      </div>
      <div>
        <h3>Pack Accordingly</h3>
        <p>
          One of most important things when it comes to traveling through the great outdoors is packing accordingly. Here are a few tips:
        </p>
        <ol>
          <li>Bring layers of clothing</li>
          <li>Pack sunscreen</li>
          <li>Carry extra water just in case</li>
          <li>Pack light</li>
        </ol>
      </div>
        </div><!-- End .secondary-content -->

        <footer class="main-footer">
            <p>All rights reserved to the state of <a href="#">California</a>.</p>

Hi there! This may be worded a little oddly. First, you need to remove the div part of the selector. It won't pass with it in. But also, all these stylings should only apply to the top border. For instance, the border-style you have will apply to all borders.

Now, you can do this one of two ways:

.wildlife  { 
  border-top-width:  10px;
  border-top-style: solid;
  border-top-color : orange;
}

Or, for more compact code you can combine them all into a single rule:

.wildlife { 
  border-top: 10px solid orange;
}

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
