I am working on the code challenge the question "Create a new rule that targets the .content-lodging div. Add the property and value that takes .content-lodging out of the normal page flow and places it along the right side of its container."

don't know why I can't pass it.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.content-loading{
  float: right;
}


/* Clearfix ---------------------------------- */

.group:after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>

        <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 class="content-traveling">
        <img src="mtn-landscape.jpg" alt="Mountain Landscape">
        <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>
            <a href="#top">Back to top &raquo;</a>
        </footer>
  </body>

You wrote "loading" instead of "lodging". Easy mistake to make!

the answer is

.content-lodging{ float:right; } .content-travelling { float:left; }

content-lodging for task1 content-travelling for task2

For anyone else looking

.content-traveling { float:left; }

Look at the additional l in travelling ;)

You need to add a class 'group' to the Div element in Body. Since the Div already has two classes add one more adjecent to it - like so :

<div class="secondary-content t-border group">
