• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2010 Photo Scavenger Hunt

Roadkill's Image Keep

+My submissions can be viewed by browsing into the "spyder scavenger hunt" image album at Roadkill Online http://www.roadkillonline.net/

I'll edit in/out contested items shortly, holding those in the related misc album, so that no contested material remains in the scavenger hunt album.

I'd appreciate it if you'd check what I've got in there so far, Irish.

Thank you,

Ride on.

Looking good...three items for which I gave NO POINTS.

#32 Should be a symbol and not a sign

#35 Can't see the actual castle

#68 Not a classic "windmill"
 
RK updates

+Here are my newest presentations in chronological order from sojourns over the past two days:

(#94 +25) 1966 Volkswagen Microbus, "The Original MiniVan"
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10017.JPG

(#57 +50) Village of Monroe, NY
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10018.JPG

(#7 +25) Nearly 50 years ago as a small boy, I played on/in this F86 Sabre Jet at Airplane Park, Monroe, and it's still there today.

(NO POINTS) The Castle. (I'll recapture in daylight hours with the bike nearer to the structures and resubmit as castle or theme park as appropriate.)

(The following replaces my NYS Submariners Memorial submission)
(#46 +25) Orange Blossoms Civil War Monument to the 124th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Goshen, NY. Upper plaque reads, "Erected by Hon. Thomas W. Bradley, M.C. in memory of his comrades of the 124th New York Infantry who died in the service of their country. Presented by Colonel Charles H. Weygant in the name of the donor and of the regiment to the people of Orange County. Accepted for the people by John J.E. Harrison, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Orange County and by Captain Robert B. Hock, President of the village of Goshen, September 5, 1907. Stand by the flag! Immortal heroes bore it through sulphurous smoke, deep moat, and armed defence: and their imperial shades still hover o'er it a guard celestial from omnipotence." Lower plaques (4 sides of the base) indicate the names of the honored who "Died for the Union" from Company A, Company B, Company C, Company D, Company E, Company F, Company G, Company H, Company I, Company K.

(#17 +50) Orange County Government Center. Brutalist 1963 design, built in 1967, by noted architect and dean of the Yale School of Architecture Paul Rudolph, known for his cubist building designs and highly complex floor plans.
http://www.roadkillonline.net/imagedb_images/35_10022.JPG

(#61 +100) Horse hitching post in front of a c.1700s home a block away from the Hall of Fame of the Trotter.

Rule clarification

+I'm hoping there is going to be a flood of people participating as the weather warms, and am happy to help in understanding expectations as they start to capture their own images.

Are we permitted ongoing multiple presentations of an item for cumulative points?

I wouldn't have expected it, but will start capturing more images if that's the case. Everyone expecting to participate, and those already doing so, need to understand this, as many will presume you can only credit an item once toward your cumulative total points.

Ride on.

Sorry...I'm looking for a "symbol" and not a "logo". There are millions of signs with logos...that's too easy

Another fun lunchtime excursion:

All at: http://docs.google.com/View?id=drj3v57_02njjzfj5

8. Sitting in Military Aircraft, a CH-34 Choctaw at the Stinson Field Branch of the Texas Air Museum.
19. In front of an Airport, Stinson Municipal Airport, San Antonio, Texas
29. At a National Park, the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park
35. At a Castle. This one is anonymous, I just happened upon it by chance on my ride today. No clue why it's in San Antonio, but it wasn't open to visitors.
40. Drive-in Theater. The Missions 4 Outdoor Theater. Only one working screen remaining, but no regular schedule.
60. In front of a sign with my last name. Sometimes it's good to be named Washington!

A long way to go, but I'm enjoying the ride...
