2010 Photo Scavenger Hunt

[Roadkill]

:bowdown: ... I'm not worthy of Roadkill's efforts...

+Oh, no you don't. (Although I do sincerely appreciate the accolades.) Can you believe it looks like we only missed each other by miles just recently?

We Marines may be the first to fight, but we expect support from the Army in the long run.

To analogize, our combined fight is establishing and securing the beach-head, and for a first run, I think we all participants are kickin' ass.

I can't wait to see next year's presentation. (Uhmmm, you'll do this again next year, won't you, Irish? As you can imagine, this is a tremendously enjoyable challenge.)

Ride on.

aerialdall,

Just looked at the photos on your link. What great photos :clapf the Manhattan area! I lived just outside Manhattan for 23 years and the photos brought back memories. I also ride a red RS but my friends there said they had never seen a bike like mine in the area. They must not be looking because we're had to miss!

Thanks! It's been fun cruising around this part of Kansas. The Flint Hills has western Kansas beat by a long ways. :roflblack: If you haven't been back to Manhattan in awhile it certainly has changed. I haven't seen very many Spyders here either but I do know of a few. Tell your friends to keep an eye out for me cause I do cruise through Manhattan frequently. If they see me tell them to wave or stop & say hi! If you ever make it down this way give me a shout & we can let your friends see 2 of us. lol

Two close and easy finds today.

1. City with the same name as a country (50 pts)
Lebanon, Ohio, a small town between Cincinnati and Dayton. Country roads, indeed!

2. Same name, different state (50 more pts)
Centerville, Ohio. This is the town that is just east of my new home. Beautiful town with great public spaces.

 

[Brevet05]

I knew you could do it!

You look quite dashing on your trusty steed.:clap:

My wife, who's probably having as much fun with this as I am, kept on me, so...:shemademe_smilie:

Lotsa points, little loss of dignity, loads of fun!

I'll provide supporting fires on the request for a 2011 edition. Maybe we can get BRP behind this one and end it at the owner's event. Lord knows this scavenger hunt has taken my Spyders to places that have never seen one before, and the need to stop and set up the picture generally is enough time for the questions to begin. It's a marketer's dream, if they'd give it a little thought.
Still's been a great contest, so thanks again, Irish (and the rest of y'all whose photos I'm enjoying)!

66. Welcome sign that spans a roadway (50 pts)
Dinosaur World, Cave City, KY

Can't award points for this one. Looking for a true roadway i.e highway

 

[aerialdall]

Irish..I haven't been adding my points to my pictures. Can you please let me know if they are OK so I can total my points. I wasn't sure which way to do it. Also, have you done an updated tally sheet lately? The only one I find is from quite some time ago.

Thanks,
Deb

Yeah, figured that might be the case, but was looking for something innovative. Here's the standard highway welcome sign... Updated Google Doc

Thanks Irish! That worked. I'm really having a good time doing this. I'm not able to get away & do a lot of traveling so it has been challenging to find things within a days distance ride. Thanks again for putting this together & keeping up with it!
