2010 Photo Scavenger Hunt

[irish2themax]

I have put together a Scavenger Hunt that I thought would be fun to do in 2010. I've tried to make it so that ryders from all countries can participate. I am going to try to get some of our sponsors to contribute prizes for 1st through 3rd Place and Most Unique Picture. I will not be eligible to participate as I will tally the points and judge the results.

This "game" could involve as many as 100 photos per entry. Thinking that, rather than using this site, participants can use whatever photo posting site they prefer. Just need to post the link on this site so they can be viewed.

Participation can be solo or it could involve a group of ryders. BUT, each participant must have pictures of their Spyder with the item.

Time period to complete is 1 January through 30 September 2010. NO CHEATING...don't Google for pics LOL

Anyone up for it? Check out the list below

Spyder Scavenger Hunt 2010

Anything that involves riding the Spyder......I'm in .......

This sounds like it could be kind of fun, and would also force me to carry my camera a lot more.

For clarification on number 16, does the police officer need to be writing you a real ticket that sticks?

I'd never know the difference. However, staging photos is sort of cheating. Like Photoshopping the picture (Got that Tat? )

[SpyderWolf]

I'd never know the difference

Dumb me thought about that 5 minutes after posting the question.

[RoadHammer]

How may points if i get a cop shooting at me ?

[Brevet05]

Okay, Irish,

Let's hope the prizes get this one more traction than 'Spyders in Strange Places'... In any case, I'll play along.

[Smylinacha]

You can triple your points if we get a pick of you shooting back at one

How may points if i get a cop shooting at me ?

Photo of Inverness, Florida. Same name as Inverness, Scotland.
Today was a bit chilly 48*. Maybe I really was in Scotland today.

[Zerocool]

Excellent idea to rack the miles up on the Spyder this year!

Thanks Irish for taking point ;-)

It is about time for me to print off the list and start collecting points. It may be just the excuse I need to get out and ryde in the unusually cold weather we are having here.

Got it...but please don't post your pics here...eventually, people will have more than one and they will flood the site. Suggest finding a photo site and just pasting the link

I'm really enjoying seeing all the pictures posted on this thread and I want to complement everyone on the pics. Special complements to Roadkill for getting out in the snow and posting some really great pics. Also, I really like Roadkill's format. Hope to contribute a few of my own later this year after the Spyder gets here.

+Since I needed to retrieve the bike from "down below" (as our family refers to the egress of our driveway in the wintertime), and the driveway hadn't quite melted well enough due to limited sun (it faces west in the shadow of the Shawangunk Range), I aimed outbound and targeted some more images.

(#48 +25) The Walker Valley Fire Company revised its rooflines (previously flat) only a few weeks ago, and as I write this, its siren is blaring:

(#28 +15) My original ridge target couldn't be reached due to yesterday's weather, so I snagged it today. The Stone Church in Cragsmoor, NY. Not much for contest point value, but she sure is purty...:

(NO POINTS) These images are of back down to the area from which I couldn't escape yesterday; you can see the peak of the prison from yesterday's images along the lower edge of the ridge I was unable to climb.

(#30 NO POINTS - IMAGE SWAP) I've already provided an Eagles Nest image, but it was in limited daylight. I'm replacing it with the following "Eagle Hawk Enterprises" image, which captures both eagle and hawk...:

(#29 +125) The Shawangunk Grasslands just received nearly 3/4-million dollars for upgrades. The Galeville Park is on contiguous lands. Both comprise a former airstrip and FBI training grounds:

Can't blame a guy for trying... Gotta work, so that's it for now. Glad the format worked for you.

[Brevet05]

This is, by far, the easiest for me to use

Thanks, Brevet

I was thinking Google Docs might be a good way to share the current info too.

At the risk of seeming presumptuous, and because I was asked, I have shared a blank version of my Google Docs spreadsheet to simplify Irish's task. It's freely available at Google Doc's Template Page. Simply search for 'Spyderlover'. Hope this helps!

Thanks! I wasn't looking forward to learning how this thing worked, then creating one myself. You Army fellers are alright!

Thanks! I was wanting to use that format as I thought it was the easiest to keep track of for yourself and for everyone else to follow.

50. In Helmet/Full Gear on a carnival ride (200 pts)

The merry-go-round at America's Oldest and Original Kids Amusement Park. Kiddie Park has been a San Antonio landmark for kids since 1925. I think I prefer the Spyder...

Irish please let me know if these are all OK.

Thanks, Deb
