I'm relatively new to the site and have started taking pictures for the scavenger hunt; also have downloaded the scavenger hunt spreadsheet template that someone posted earlier.

My question is how do I upload the pictures to the spreadsheet?

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry to say that I have a been unable to attract and sponsors for this year's Scavenger Hunt so no prizes will be awarded.

Participants are welcome to continue for the fun of it and go for personal pride.

Just got home from a week in the hospital following emergency abdominal surgery. Won't be able to ride for another two weeks. I'll use the "down time" to update the database

Irish,
You heal up soon and don't do anything silly to prevent it. I have said a prayer of healing for you too.

Folks,

Don't know if you saw this on another forum, but Irish2theMax has passed away. I never met Irish, but his idea for a Scavenger Hunt has entertained us for the past 18 months. I will miss his wit and patience, and pray for his family in this time of grief.

I don't think there's any real way for us to get the tally right for the Scavenger Hunt, so I'll probably drop off for the year. Thanks to all who supported Irish's game; I enjoyed your entries immensely.

Peace.
