Worth a try... Call it a shameless plug for the fair town of Alpine, Tx.:2thumbs:
Thanks for the link to your spread sheet. Helps us see where we stand in the count.

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.

+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...)

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:

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.

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.

Love this one; haven't had the courage to do the Kiddie Park near my house in San Antonio. I just may have been inspired... Naahhh (Soccer Moms near military bases are likely to be armed, and I don't want to go out like that.)
Irish,
PDF's are allowed. Have you tried to download and install a free PDF printer like "Cute PDF" or "PDFCreator". Then go to File/Print and select the PDF "printer" to convert the spreadsheet into a PDF.

Clarification
Irish,
Given that there are three Continental Divides in North America and many more throughout the other continents, will any of the Continental Divides satisfy
55. At the Continental Divide (50 points)?
This might help our brethren in the far flung reaches of Spyderdom, and I'd surely like to see some out of the US participation/photos. Still waiting for a koala/Spyder combo...
I reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_divide.

Any sign that says Continental Divide (in any language) will do

Irish,
Another question regarding your list.
88. A sign with the longest word
Are you talking about the longest word in your native language? Are you talking about who ever gets the longest word and only one person will get the points? Please elaborate. Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Doesn't matter what language it's in as long as your Spyder is in the frame. I will calculate the number of letters and that person will get the points. But lots of luck trying beat:
- A lake in Webster, MA: Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg
- Thai name for Bangkok: Krung-thep-maha-nakorn-boworn-ratana-kosin-mahintar-ayudhya-amaha-dilok-pop-nopa-ratana-rajthani-burirom-udom-rajniwes-mahasat-arn-amorn-pimarn-avatar-satit-sakattiya-visanukam
- A hill in New Zealand:Taumata*whakatangihanga*koauau*o*tamatea*turi*pukakapiki*maunga*horo*nuku*pokai*whenua*kitanatahu
- A township in Ontario, CA: Dysart, Dudley, Harcourt, Guilford, Harburn, Bruton, Havelock, Eyre and Clyde

So does that mean these have already been used? Also, I know it is your contest and your rules but that township in Ontario is not a word, it is many words. Don't see how that can count. It seems like it should be one word, not hyphenated, or commas or spaces. That first one, the name of the lake, that one is probably a winner though.
