2010 Photo Scavenger Hunt

[irish2themax]

Still looking for prizes

It won't be long before the Scavenger Hunting Season is closed. We have 13 Spyder Ryders from across the country playing the game. From what I've read, I think they are having fun playing and it certainly gets us out on the road which was the main objective. And the photos are GREAT

I'd still like to have vendors offer prizes for the participants. I think the best bet would be a gift certificate for whatever amount the donor feels comfortable.

Winner chooses his/her prize. #2 chooses next...and do on until all prizes are gone.

Come on Sponsors...help them out here.

Another great riding day. Much cooler in Ohio than Texas...

11. At a BIG Rock with something interesting on it other than graffiti (100 pts)



Centerville (OH) High School has the Elk as its mascot. This is a bronze elk on a large rock. Also has a small, albeit man-made, waterfall.

45. In front of a water fall (30 pts)



Clifton's Gorge, east of Yellow Springs, Ohio, has several small waterfalls, mostly inaccessible to motorized traffic. This fall was hard to get a clear shot of (it's the falling water between the windscreen and my wife), but was worth the ride. There was also a covered bridge here, so I've added that photo for posterity in the bridge entry (previously awarded).

Thanks Spydeb! We gals may have to gang up on these guys. They seem to be a tough crowd. No creativity points or even your brownie points seem to even count. :dontknow:

I too am really enjoying looking at everyone's pictures. It's fun to see what everyone is coming up with.

Brownie's are a branch of the Girl Scouts of America. The term was coined for good deeds.

Gave you all but this one since it cannot be confirmed that this is on a big rock and not just an earthen mound

Irish... I am saying the "Welcome to the Flinthills" is the Interesting part that is written on the BIG Rock. That's why I had my husband up there so you could see how big the Rock is. It is actually a Limestone rock that is sitting on a bunch of limestone & flint hence the "Flinthills". If the Welcome part isn't interesting enough I can deal with that.

Thanks,
Deb
