2010 Photo Scavenger Hunt

[aerialdall]

Sorry Irish, didn't realize the photo names were not showing. I've update the pics with comments, and made sure they were showing.

been trying to use google docs the way several others had done but it doesn't like any of the photos, won't import them in. I'll keep playing around with it.

in the mean time, got 7 more tonight

27. At a State Line crossing (50 points)
84. Sign with a season in its name (eg. Winterhaven) (25 points)
69. Unique water tower (50 points)
48. In front of a firehouse (25 points)
30. At a sign with the word "Hawk" or “Eagle” on it (30 points)
29. At a National Park (125 points)
9. In front of a live animal. (25 points)

Curly,

When you use google docs you're not really importing the pictures. If you look at the top of the document you'll find insert. Click on that & then you click on image & it will let you browse for your picture. (I always resize the pic to 660 or less). Then just hit insert. As long as you have your cursor in the right cell your picture will go right where you need it.

Hope this helps. If you still need help let me know.

I finally broke down and read the instructions for google docs. I know, it's a sad day when a geek has to read a manual/faq. :sour:
And yes, the problem was the size of the pictures, way, way, too big. FAQ says it has to be 500px or less in size. So I'll rework the pictures and post a new link.

Thanks aerialdall.

Curly,

Glad you got it figured out even if you did have to read the faq's...lol Somehow I think there is an unwritten rule that we think we shouldn't have to do that! :joke: Anyways, glad to have you on board as it's been fun looking at everyone's pictures & seeing all the differences for each subject!

#75 +25 (Bride and groom on your Spyder)

+I captured a bridal couple upon my Spyder today at the Stone Church in Cragsmoor, NY.

The Stone Church is a beautiful location available to all, and was featured in my #28 Old Church submission back in the winter months:

The happy couple had glorious weather for today's photo op, but strangely, they had nothing to say...

[katnapper]

impressive!

wow this really took off. WE have not entered, no spyder with us on the truck. I have enloied viewing the pics!:2thumbs:

 

[irish2themax]

Okay, Irish,

Let's hope the prizes get this one more traction than 'Spyders in Strange Places'... In any case, I'll play along.

So what do you think? 10,204 views to 313!!

 

[irish2themax]

This contest has really taken off and I couldn't be more excited!!

We have over 10,000 views and 429 posts with TONS of really cool photos.

I'm still looking for sponsors to donate prizes in the form of gift certificates. I've sent out some e-mails and some on-line forms. For some reason, I can't get the form from Bert's Mega Mall to work. Keeps rejecting my Catchphrase though I don't know why so I've sent a PM to AWOOD.

So far, we have two prizes available

1. KewlMetal
2. R/T Sales

Hopefully we'll have more by the time the contest ends at the end of next month.

Don't give up...we have a couple of players that are way ahead but, if we can get a few more prizes, then a number of people will be in the running

re-did mine into a google doc, make it easier to read and such

https://docs.google.com/document/ed...VmjMZfYPn6AYU9FIcJHt7HE&hl=en&authkey=CN3J53U

added quite a few from the last couple of weekends, some I would considered highlights would be

5. In front of a rocket. was at the Aerospace museum in Hutchinson KS.
22. An interesting landmark. Big Brutus in KS. 2nd largest electric shovel ever built, and largest still in existence.

So what do you think? 10,204 views to 313!!

:clap::congrats: Woo hoo! I've said a bunch that this was an amazing adventure for us, and I really hope we can do it again next year! Could see the 25k mark, as this accelerated in the latter months.:yes:

I am pleased to announce that GloRyder and Bert's Mega Mall have joined the list of prize donors. Hope this is just the start of new donations

I've decided to award the prizes as follows:

1. I will provide a list of prizes to those who win
2. I will have each prize winner choose his/her prize in the order that they place
3. I will have each prize winner contact the donor directly to claim the prize

I will then post the list of winners and their prize as a separate thread
