Waterfall must be natural
I agree on not-man made waterfall but had to test the waters. Getting a spyder in a picture with a non-man made waterfall will be difficult in CA. I can get my jeep in a non-man made waterfall picture but not my spyder.

A,B,C maybe called sequential order and A,C,E is alphabetical order. Alphabetical order is an indexing process using a list of items normally following alphabet set as standard for ordering.
List of vowels are normally shown in alphabetical order.
Same can happen with numbers.
Prime numbers 1,3,5
Numbers 1,2,3

This isn't supposed to be easy. Not all states/countries will have all of the items. But I do know you can get close enough to Yosemite Falls

Gotcha, that makes it much easier, thanks.

Without getting into a discussion of "right or wrong", ABC, DEF, WXY etc. is what I am considering to be alphabetical order

Sadly, R/T Sales is the ONLY sponsor that has agreed to provide a prize. Hoping others will join in as participation increases. I have sent a request to my dealer (Fun On Wheels, Frederick MD) and Cowtown USA, Cuba MO. If anyone wants to contact their dealer, we are looking at prizes with a max value of approx $100. The number of prizes awarded will depend upon how many there are

the tire irony (tirony?)
+Just following up on my tire image, because I'm surprised nobody identified the irony I'd referenced.

"Shawangunk Mtns. 'The Gunks' At Gardiner, NY", along the Shawangunk Range with Minnewaska Cliffs in the background
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imaged...es/35_9969.JPG
My first attempt for these points was in low-light conditions the other day, but I couldn't capture a clear image. Within the multitude of rock art, a large stone reads, "Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon, must inevitably come to pass."

+Upon return this afternoon from weekend business in Owego, I decided to capture some images. The sleet and snow weren't predicted to start in this area until 1pm, and I began shortly thereafter. Naturally, I'd only be gone "a little while"...
This was my first stop a few miles from home.
"Thomas Jansen House, A distinctive example of 18th century stone architecture unique to Dutch settlers in Ulster County, rear wing 1727, main house 1790, National Register of Historic Places"

+About a mile later, I stopped at the "Pearl Street School, District #11, Built c.1850, The Jansen Family spoke so often of Pearl Street, NYC, that the road past the schoolhouse became known as Pearl Street, Town of Shawangunk"
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imaged...es/35_9973.JPG
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imaged...es/35_9974.JPG
I'll present another 1-room schoolhouse image a little later in today's presentation.

+Another short ride brought me to, "Colonel Johannes Jansen, Homestead Built 1750, His nephew completed house in 1803, Colonel Jansen escaped Tory led Indian attack in 1780, National Register of Historic Places"

+I'd taken my earlier big rock image just before entering Minnewaska State Park, and had a number of stops intended thereafter, including Eastern Correctional Facility:

+Many of our lakes, ponds, falls and bodies of water are frozen, so I aimed for the Rondout Reservoir, and here is its Merriman Dam.
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imaged...es/35_9980.jpg
For no points, this next image is about 7 miles west of the dam looking east near Grahamsville where there's a kiosk informing the viewer of the submerged villages.

If your talking about Roadkill, he is putting the numbers in the message title, very top of his post. If not, disregard.

I wonder if it would be helpful to limit submissions to once per week or something like that? I'm sure Irish will come up with a good system if this doesn't work for him.
Maybe you could start keeping track on Google Docs and have a handful of volunteers be able to tally the submissions.

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