Clarification
Irish,
Item 27. At a State Line crossing (50 pts)
and
Item 52. At an “Entering” sign to another state. (10 pts)
ask for the materially same event, as it's unlikely that you'd be able to demonstrate a State Line crossing without a sign. How do you want these differentiated? Both sides of the same crossing, or entirely different border, or ...?
Hope you had a great St Patrick's Day. I was at Spring Break, South Padre Island, and saw some very festive green-bedecked folks, but alas, nary a Leprechaun!

No photo so I can't tell but I suspect that you could use the same crossing for both photos if taken from opposite directions

Okay, that'll work. I haven't crossed any state lines; Texas is too big, and I live in the middle, but I'm going to be within 50 miles of the east border later this month and was trying to decide if I wanted to make a special trip or wait til this summer when we move. Thanks for the quick response.

Finally going to get into this game
Hey Irish, what is the total points please? My spreadsheet adds up to 5530 and Verb's doc has 5440 and one of your posts states 5580. Lots of different numbers here. I also added by hand and come up with 5530. I used your original list. I wonder if I have one column with a number off by 50. Just checking. Want to fix it if I have made an error in the points column. Thanks.

I have changed a few of the point values since we started but, to add further confusion, my spreadsheet adds up to 5475. I tried to attach it but xls files aren't allowed
Lamont...any way you can add xls files to the list of legal attachments?

So I guess I need to know what we changed, so that I can fix it in my google document. Or just add a new word doc and I will print it out and make the changes from that. Thanks

Deb's Photo hunt.
18. At a Town Center Sign

21. In front of an Abandoned Hospital or School.
48. In front of a Firehouse
63. Water tower with a ball and cone.

table adjustments
+I'm glad you posted the file, Irish.
I captured #35 (+50) on January 30th:
... The 1870 Roe-Brewster Castle, overlooking the Hudson River in New Windsor, NY. (23 rooms, 8 baths. Chestnut stairwell and foyer open into large parlors with 12 foot ceilings, parquet floors, elaborate moldings and fireplaces. Decorated by Louis Comfort Tiffany, whose fixtures remain, including stained-glass central skylight. Charming stone cottage...)
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imaged...s/35_10083.JPG
I captured #74 (+100) on January 17th:
... A few more snowflakes continued to present themselves, but again, no big deal, and I was elated to also snag a totem pole in Grahamsville:
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imaged...es/35_9984.JPG
I have NOT yet captured #66.
All of my material can be found in the "spyder scavenger hunt" image album at Roadkill Online http://www.roadkillonline.net
Following those changes, I calculate a points total of 3685.
Ride on.

62. Rhyming Intersection
70. Mural that creates an illusion.
92. Marque with the word "new" on it.

Sorry, Deb...can't give you that one. By definition, a state house is the building in which the state legislature meets

5. In front of a rocket (50 pts). Actually, several rockets at the Johnson Space Center's Rocket Park.
49. At an old school house (100 pts). Baytown, TX, the Republic of Texas Plaza has Wooster School 38, a one room school house that was built in 1894 and served until 1980.
If you gave extra credit for wildflowers, I'd have raked it in today. There were bluebonnets and butterfly weed in profusion along I-10 between San Antonio and Houston. Beautiful day for a long, if work-related ride.
