Title: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 03/17/10 at 08:04:21 Since riding season is getting back into swing, I thought about something I saw on another site and wondered if anyone would be interested... Someone pick something to find, and take a picture of it with YOUR BIKE INCLUDED. Such as... going through a drive-thru window (can even specify at McDonalds or a Bank, or something)... or a picture of your bike with a bridge in the background... whatever. We can make up our own rules. The site I saw it on also required that the member/rider be included on the bike. But whatever. I think the bike has to be included to avoid finding pictures online and such. Obviously, it can't be too specific, like a particular monument or building or whatever, but should be something that most everyone could have access to. Winner gets bragging rights and has to pick the next one. -------------------------------- Challenges and Who posted pics: ************ March, 2010 ************ (1) pg1 "Fire" sign Yonuh Adisi - pic on pg2 (2) pg2 Historic sign Paladin. pic on pg3 (2nd- doc5446 pics on pg4) (3) pg3 Wooden Cigar Store Indian babyhog - pics on pg4 (4) pg4 Baseball Field Midnightrider - pics on pg4 (5) pg5 old generation VW Bug Serowbot - pics on pg6 (6) pg6 Double-Decker Bus Paladin. - pic on pg7 (7) pg7 Fountain Skatnbnc - pic on pg8 (8) pg9 "Local" Hardware Store (no Lowes,etc) Paladin. - pics on pg9 (9) pg9 One-pump gas station LostArtist - pics on pg10 (10) pg10 Weird Art PBLover - pics on pg10 (11) pg11 Appliance in yard/Car on Blocks MMRanch - pic on pg12 (12) pg12 Establishment with "Saloon" in name drharveys - pic on pg12 (2nd - Serowbot-pics on pg13) (13) pg13 "Obscure" memorial PBLover - pic on pg13 (14) pg13 Big Round Window Paladin. - pics on pg14 (15) pg14 A little dam without a road on it Midnightrider - pics on pg15 (16) pg15 - Pre-1970 single engine private aircraft Sandy Koocanusa - pics on pg15 (17) pg16 - Steam Locomotive Yonuh Adisi - pic on pg16 (2nd - bill67 - pic on pg16) (18) pg16 - Working Wooden Water-Pumping Windmill youzguyz - pics on pg18 (Honorable Mention - doc5446 - pics on pg17) (19) pg18 - Animal near road (non-dog, non-cat) LostArtist - pic on pg20 (20) pg20 - "Visible Gas" Pump babyhog - pic on pg21 (21) pg21 - Motorcycle Billboard prechermike - pic on pg22 (22) pg22 - Drawbridge John_D-FSO - pics on pg25; more on pg68 (23) pg23 - Police Car EJID - pic on pg24 (24) pg24 - Drive-in (still operating) runwyrlph - pic on pg24 (25) pg24 - Tractor - International Farmall doc5446 - pic on pg25 (26) pg25 - Covered Wagon youzguyz - pics on pg25 (27) pg26 - Utility Pole with GLASS insulators jef.savage - pics on pg26 & pg27 (28) pg27 - House being painted Serowbot - cheating on pg28 ( ;)) (29) pg28 - Sidewalk cafe` doc5446 - pic on pg29 (30) pg29 - FIRE jef.savage - pic on pg29, Paladin. pic on pg30 (31) pg30 - GIANT anything youzguyz - pic on pg31 (32) pg31 - weird navigation sign babyhog - pics on pg31 (33) pg32 - Fire Station Boule'tard - pic on pg33; jef.savage - pics on pg33 (34) pg33 - motorbike grave marker jef.savage - pics on pg34 (35) pg34 - Brady Bunch named street sign drharveys - pic on pg34; Paladin. - pics on pg34 (36) pg35 - Recycled house of worship Paladin. - pics on pg36; MMRanch-pics on pg35&36; babyhog-pics on pg35 (37) pg36 - Stairs on ground babyhog - pics on pg37; Southpaw - pics on pg36 (38) pg37 - Clock on a post Boule'tard; jef.savage; Paladin; Southpaw - pics on pg38 (39) pg38 - Tethered blimp/Gorilla baloon weracerc - pic pg40; jef.savage - pic pg39; Paladin - pic pg41 (40) pg41 - Residential military surplus Paladin - pic pg43; jef.savage - pic pg42; Serowbot - pic pg 42 (41) pg43 - Road Kill babyhog - pics pg44 (42) pg44 - "Welcome To" sign mpescatori - pics pg44 (43) pg45 - (44) pg46 - Halloween decorations jef.savage - pic pg47 (45) pg47 - Weeping Willow Tree weracerc; Paladin. - pics pg47 (46) pg47 - (47) pg48 - fruit tree Mick - pic pg48 (48) pg49 - Rolls Royce or Bentley weracerc - pic pg49 (49) pg50 - Anything "Exotic" OR Fast Food place jef.savage - pics pg50 (50) pg50 - Two (or more) of anything above Boule'tard - pic pg51 (51) pg51 - Alma Mater something jef.savage - pic pg51 (52) pg51 - BIG pot hole Paladin. - pics pg51 (53) pg52 - "Detroit" something jef.savage - pic pg53 (54) pg53 - SNOW PBLover - pics pg54 additional "non-winning" snow pictures on page 53 & 54 (55) pg54 - "Boulevard" or "Savage" business jef.savage - pic pg54 (56) pg54 - with a Turkey babyhog - pic pg55; Midnightrider - pic pg56; Paladin - pic pg56 (57) pg56 - Christmas decorations Midnightrider - pic pg56; Paladin-pics pgs56/57; Boule'tard-pics pg56 (58) pg56 - with Santa!

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 03/17/10 at 08:08:21 Sounds fun, I'm game. But you'll have to clarify the rules and what exactly are we looking for. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 03/17/10 at 08:17:53 I'm game. (or gamey, not sure which.) Is that *using* the drive through window, or actually going through the window? All the ones I know of are a bit small.... |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 03/17/10 at 08:24:31 the other site (VolusiaRiders) rules are: - no photoshopped pics - pics used only once, new pic for each target - no old pics (past rallys, vacations, etc) - you, your bike, and the target in the same pic. But whatever anyone thinks is reasonable... to get participation... they have done things like taking a picture with a policeman.... or with someone on roller skates.... whatever someone can come up with. |

Well, since not everyone is able to take a self picture of themselves with their bike, I think just the bike in the pic with the target would work. we have all seen pictures of most of our bikes so it would be just as good for identification as a self pic. That would be the only change I think is needed. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by verslagen1 on 03/17/10 at 09:18:01 I think we all could identify Yonuh's bike parked at a adult beverage store while doing 70 on the superslab. But many are still stock to point that no one's going to be able to tell them apart. Those w/o unique bikes will need to be identifiable. consider helmets, placards or mascots either temp or permantly screaming. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Mr. Hyde on 03/17/10 at 09:23:18 If you're a solo rider like me any suggestions on how to get all 3 in the photo at the same time. I can't see me lugging around a tripod and a Nikon DSLR. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 03/17/10 at 10:59:44 Good question, I am lucky that my camera has a remote so self pictures are easy for me. I reckon you can always flag a passer by down and ask them to take a shot of you or if your camera has a timer maybe try to park the bike somewhere close to a cage or something so you can set the camera down on a hood pointing towards you. http://annemccaffreyfans.org/forum/images/smilies/shrug.gif |

Very good point Versy, not all of our bikes are so easily identifiable. But not all of us wear helmets either, so maybe, like for instance piglet can have here little piglet toy sitting on the seat when she takes her snapshot, and others can do the same, something that would identify with them. Yes, the mascot deal I think would work best. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 03/17/10 at 11:42:12 Since this is your idea, what is our first task piglet? I'm about to go out for a ride because it is too nice out to spend my last day off cooped up in the house on the computer. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 03/17/10 at 11:52:51 Ok, just to get us rolling.... Let's see if you can take a picture of your bike with [beside/behind/on/under/near] a sign with the word "FIRE" in it. ** NOT a homemade sign, it must be an actual street sign, store sign, etc...... and we must be able to see the bike and the word "FIRE". |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 03/17/10 at 11:56:35 You're on. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Bigzuk on 03/17/10 at 12:07:57 I like this idea! The fact that we are all wanting to do something like this shows me that it has been a long hard winter for most of us. Man I got to get out of the house and on the bike!!!!!!!!!!! Cabin fever crazy, Bigzuk |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by ALfromN.H. on 03/17/10 at 15:48:11 I'm in but how long do we have for task #1? I won't get a chance to ride until the weekend but would like to get an entry in. AL |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Toymaker on 03/17/10 at 15:51:53 yep....me too! :) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 03/17/10 at 16:20:22 First one to post a pic wins, and gets to pick the next challenge. Oh, and whoever sets up the challenge has to agree that the person's picture fulfills it. I guess we should probably set a time limit, if somebody picks something too difficult? Maybe a week, or we'll see how it goes... ** If this flies, I will edit the initial post as we go along with winners and next challenge.... and the rules, as we agree on them. (This would make it easier to check in before you go ride, to see what the current challenge is) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 03/17/10 at 18:32:01 I win this round. http://annemccaffreyfans.org/forum/images/smilies/woohoo.gif Just let me think a bit on what the task shall be. http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/138/l_345bc79056f1406db4f88e1474be6094.jpg Was such a lovely day today I left the house on the bike at about 1 o'clock and didn't return till just about now. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 03/17/10 at 18:50:25 Woohoo, great job Yonuh! Give us the next one... |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 03/17/10 at 19:05:22 I challenge you to get a picture of your bike in front or near an Historical Marker sign. Must clearly be able to see what Historical feature the sign is pertaining to. As I am the one issuing the challenge, I disqualify myself from participating. (besides there are so many historical marker signs near me it would be very unfair if I participated in this one.) How does three days starting 03-18-10 sound for a time limit? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Serowbot on 03/17/10 at 19:54:26 Way to rock n' roll, Yonuh!.... ;D Nice game Piglet!... ;D PS,.. are we sure that handpainted blue , obviously extended, fat Harley tanked Savage with NM plates is really Yonuh's bike?... :-? Hmm?... Are we?... Yeah,.. I'm sure!... ;D ;D ;D ;D!.... |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 03/17/10 at 21:42:35 LOL 'Bot. Just to clarify on my challenge, the entire sign does not have to be able to be read. What I mean is for example if I were to participate I would park next to the Black Water Draw historical marker, only the "Black Water Draw" would need to be visible and readable in the picture. Though it would be cool if the poster would describe what the significance is of the marker, for instance the Black Water Draw is the archeological site where the "Clovis People" were discovered as being the earliest people in North America. That is until they discovered an even earlier sign of people a bit further south though I do not remember where that was. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 03/18/10 at 14:18:59 I can't win yet, gotta give others a chance to post their pix. That marker is less than 3 miles from my house. Ran across it in google maps a month ago. Thanks to you, I got to actually see it. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 03/19/10 at 17:19:34 We rode out to eat, and stopped at BlockBuster for some movies, and the Smoker Friendly is in the same shopping center. I asked hubby "wonder if they have an Indian in there?" He walked down and looked and sure enuf! So we rode down, and they let us take some pics. I thought for sure someone would have already posted one by now. But if anyone else took any, please post anyway! I'll figure out the next challenge soon.... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 03/19/10 at 18:27:27 You guys go to weddings in churches, don't you?? I'm sorry you can't ride mick, and I know you would be right here with us, snapping pics, but hopefully we'll drag this out long enough for you to get in on it. Ok -- next task -- I think this will be easy enough. Get a pic of your bike at a BASEBALL FIELD, preferably with a scoreboard in view. Doesn't have to be a game going on, but that would be a nice bonus. Can be High School, Little League, even Professional for those of you lucky ones in pro towns! But Baseball only! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Midnightrider on 03/19/10 at 19:28:37 They were actually having a game tonight. Had to ride my Ninja, I'm working on the Savage http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/oo2/mwshelton/100_0742.jpg The scoreboard is on the right |

He even pointed out a ramp that I could use to get the bike up on the sidewalk! Hubby told him that I was doing it for a contest, so he was very nice. Dragging that thing over in front of the door was sweet too. It is an alcohol/tobacco store, so maybe he was just feelin' good. LOL I'll buy my tobacco there more often now though.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by skatnbnc on 03/29/10 at 05:40:33 Sorry sorry sorry!!! I honestly am trying to think of something cool, but challenging, but not TOO challenging. Argh! I really liked the historical marker, but thats done! Okay, this may be lame, but here goes - Find a hardware store that is NOT a chain (no Lowes, Home Depot, etc) and take a pic of your bike in front of it. MUST BE an independant, local owned kind of thing. You know what I'm talking about - the kind with penny candy on the front counter, wrenches, wooden rat traps and rope in the aisle and nails by the pound in open bins in the back. If it sells dog feed or bird food out of open bins with scoops, thats a bonus. ;) On your mark, get set - GO! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 03/29/10 at 19:49:29 Not much of a *gas* station if it doesn't pump gas. |

|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by skatnbnc on 03/30/10 at 05:33:25 Holy cow Paladin - that is PERFECT - you win again! I love those stores, and frequent the one here in town. I can wander for HOURS in there! And there is a one gas pump station near here but it is closed - still has the old gas price of 75 cents a gallon if that tells you anything about how long its been closed. ;) So I ask the same question - does the gas station with one pump have to be OPEN for business? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 03/30/10 at 05:57:43 A corpse is not a person. It can be closed at the time you stop by, but if it is abandoned it is not really a gas station any more. Sort of like why I had to go down to Lovelady's in Torrance rather than my Shock's here in Gardena -- Shock's went out of business a few years ago and is just an abandoned building now. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 03/30/10 at 08:41:42 I know I don't have any one pump gas stations around here. So I reckon I will lose again. Somebody get this one before tomorrow so I got a chance before I go back to work Thursday. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 03/30/10 at 19:15:41 Paladin Does a "one gas - one Diesel " Count ? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 03/30/10 at 20:04:11 Went back and checked what I wrote, one pump, didn't specify as one gas pump. A double sided pump would count as one. I was thinking something like Bruno's: http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/1pump1.jpg Post what you have, this may be a case of "Close Enough!" |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by LostArtist on 03/31/10 at 10:38:11 I have one, now if I can figure out how to get it off my freaking camera!!! for some reason it won't read at my work computer :( :( :( |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Midnightrider on 03/31/10 at 16:03:55 I rode 276mi today through the mountains and not a single single pump station to be found.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by LostArtist on 03/31/10 at 17:29:25 okay, no more waiting, babyhog says it's good, it's good enough for me.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by PBLover on 04/02/10 at 08:44:57 Ok, the pictures aren't the best as you can't get close enough with a motorized vehicle, but this is a park that has nothing but weird artistic stuff in it. Their website is: http://www.franconia.org/ If you click on "meet the artists" you can view each one's sculptures. I really like the building that's hung from a metal frame, the there are other really neat works of art on a 20 acre field. Hope this works for ya LostArtist! I tried to post this message with the pics, but not real sure how to, so here's the links to my Photobucket file. http://pbckt.com/sB.dhHf |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by LostArtist on 04/02/10 at 10:38:31 I'll accept it!! cool stuff! would it have killed you to walk over and get some closer shots of the art?? :P but you included their webpage, so that's cool, and it looks like a neat place so what's next?? need a great weekend challenge, no pressure pb ;) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by PBLover on 04/02/10 at 19:56:48 Great! Glad you liked it LostArtist. Didn't have time this a.m. to walk through the place, there was a very forboding thunder and lightening storm coming across the hills and me with a 20 mile drive back home. For my challenge...let's see.....probably wouldn't be cool to have a Savage parked in front of a dozen Harley's mowed down like dominoes, so......how about finding a residential house with at least 1 kitchen appliance junked out in the front yard or a car up on blocks. I'll take either one. Good luck hunting and everyone drive safe this weekend! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Midnightrider on 04/03/10 at 17:02:54 There's a redneck yard on one of my favorite mountain rides. There is an old 70's 350 Honda cemented in the front yard with flower's planted around it. Or would you consider it modern art? Oh well if I ever get physically unable to ride my Savage it would make a nice flower garden. ::) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 04/04/10 at 14:42:41 Went camping over the weekend and when I left, LostArtist's challenge was still on, so I took these along Route 23 in Kentucky - The Country Music Highway. Not exactly weird, but not something you see everyday either. Resting today from 250 miles of riding since last Friday.... might go back out later though, a car on blocks would be easy to find! http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/PIC-0648.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/PIC-0649.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by doc5446 on 04/05/10 at 10:06:55 Well,nuthin' to hunt, but I did wash my bike today(which is about an annual event for me).On my return I was traveling fav backroads and snapped this one. This road sees more farm machinery that street vehicles. The other day I came up behind a farmer driving a very large John Deere combine. He pulled off the side to let me go by with a friendly wave. Thank God I'm a country boy... http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs419.snc3/25233_378650518788_505103788_3757827_3103886_n.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 04/06/10 at 10:33:51 I know I could have won this round but have been busy with the Honey-do-list. So what's next MMRanch? I now have some time before I go back to work Thursday evening. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/06/10 at 19:14:41 PBLover thank for the vote. We have a "Saloon " here in Lynchburg They doin't serve alcholic drinks just smootheys. But I can't help but wonder is there any more public places with the name SALOON in the name of the establishment. Good luck and stick to the smootheys if your driving. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/08/10 at 15:30:50 Its been two days ???? Is a Saloon to hard to find ??? Ya'll give up and I pick something else. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by PBLover on 04/08/10 at 15:48:48 There will be one posted tomorrow !!! It's only 38 degrees, wet and windy here or else it would have been posted today [smiley=grin.gif] It's about 15 miles from me. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mick on 04/08/10 at 16:12:08 I supose this would be concidered cheating ,the saloon is our pump house. but it is a saloon ,When my Dad used to live here he hid his jack danials in this very place.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by drharveys on 04/08/10 at 17:29:16 OK -- the weekend's coming up, so here's your assignment: I want a statue or memorial to an obscure war or military engagement. In other words, not WW' I or II, Vietnam, Civil War, American Revolution or Civil War -- and if it's the Indian Wars, Little Big Horn doesn't count 'cause everyone knows about it! And for Maurizio -- nothing involving Napoleon, Garibaldi or Pope Julius. For example: In British Columbia (I think it's in Victoria, but it could be Vancouver) there is this statue: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/DSC01262.jpg It's a memorial to the Canadians who went to fight against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. Got the idea? OK, obscurity counts! And have fun! ;D |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/08/10 at 21:47:00 Well done DrHarveys I am a little courious where you and Serowbot found these Saloons ? I'm all ways looking for a place to visit ! Well I guess it off to Obscurity and History with statues ? Mick it looks like water wasn't the only drinkable thing in the well house ? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 04/09/10 at 05:20:07 Great job guys!! And I'm thinking that Serowbot is too shy to show his helmet hair! ;) I actually had a couple of Saloons in mind, but am nursing a terrible cold and haven't felt like riding (I know, hard to believe!!) I'm hoping to be back in this hunt over the weekend! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by PBLover on 04/09/10 at 10:55:32 This is a memorial to the Chippewa and Fox Indians. Here at the head of St. Croix Falls in about 1770, a war party of Chippewas led by Chief Wau-bo-jeeg prepared for battle against their traditional enemies, the Fox and Sioux. You can read more about it at: http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=14421 http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac221/PB440lover/P1010102.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Serowbot on 04/09/10 at 11:13:44 Sure looks like winner to me PB!... Nice going!... Still requires the Doc's official approval but,...

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by kerosene on 04/09/10 at 14:04:36 gotta be honest with you guys, the scavenger hunt should only have challanges and pictures, no chit chat... I'vve seen it work great on other bike and car forums, just like that... thats just my opinion though |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by drharveys on 04/09/10 at 16:57:50 Wow! That was quick! Congrats PB -- what's our next challenge? And reminding us that the Sioux started out a whole lot further East than where the main reservations are now. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by PBLover on 04/09/10 at 18:32:31 Ok, here's the next challenge. Find a building that is not abandoned and has a round window at least 2 feet in diameter and can't be a porthole from a ship or boat. Good luck! Hopefully you will have a better day than me. Rode for about 100 miles, then dumped my bike for the first time at the end of the ride. Hit some loose gravel at the end of our driveway :( Only victim was the rear tail light....not even a dent in the gas tank!!! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/09/10 at 23:19:25 HAY ! I LIKE THE CHIT-CHAT NOW ON TO A ROUND WINDOW AT LEAST 2 FEET BIG ? ? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by PBLover on 04/10/10 at 06:05:46 I guess you can have a door in the middle as long as the door is glass too and yes, the window should be at least 2 feet in diameter, not just a small one like they put in residential homes. I want to see a real architectural/artistic type window. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/10/10 at 06:42:33 Paladin I want to see the round window with a door in it just to see such a thing ? If it counts or not ! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mick on 04/10/10 at 07:53:55 HINT,you can always find a door with a round window inside a good restaurant between kitchen and dining area,it's so in coming won't collide with outgoing carrying a tray full of food. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 04/10/10 at 13:18:30 Welll.... The round window with a door was an add-on to the Tin Sing Restaurant in Gardena, as seen in the pictures below from Google Maps' streetview. Also seen is the reconstruction which eliminated that door: http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog//ex-round.jpg Fortunately, as I was riding over there I remembered the Hustled Casino at Vermont and Redondo Beach, still in Gardena: http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Photo006.jpg http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Photo005.jpg http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Photo004.jpg http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog//Photo003.jpg The one near the bike is 30", the one above I would guess at 48". The red line around the window is a neon tube that lights up at night. All the round windows have neon edges. It's really tacky at night. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 04/10/10 at 13:23:16 How about something easy that is not in South Los Angeles -- a little dam, one without a road on top of it. |

I can't help myself. People keep asking for things that I'm practically sitting on. Map, below, is 5 miles wide by 7 miles tall. http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/MAP.jpg As you can see, everything is within spitting distance.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Midnightrider on 04/11/10 at 06:03:39 Best wishes on your procedure, I've had it done twice. Its pretty much painless. Its better to have it done before a heart attack than afterwards like I did. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 04/11/10 at 08:24:39 It's my second, first was after/during the heart attack. This time it's preventative. But whatever ... it's a beautiful sunny Sunday, the Church of the Four Winds is open, someone needs to find a darn dam. I remember seeing them on little creeks. Out here the creeks are mostly dry so a dam wouldn't make much sense. If I recall correctly, creeks and rivers mostly do not have concrete banks outside of Los Angeles. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by kimchris1 on 04/11/10 at 09:08:34 Best wishes to you. I enjoy reading how fast your able to find the items mentioned in the scavenger hunt. Hurry back and hugs to you..Kim :) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone?

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Midnightrider on 04/14/10 at 07:17:23 Bumping this back to the top. Too much fun dont want it to end. There's a small dam about an hour from here and I'm taking off this afternoon to photograph it. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Midnightrider on 04/14/10 at 13:30:31 OK Paladin, this one is for you. Get well soon. Here is a small dam with no road across it. This place is for sale, wish I had the money to buy it. It is the site of an old grist mill that dates back to the 1800's. The old building is still standing but the millwheel is gone. http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/oo2/mwshelton/100_0786.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Midnightrider on 04/15/10 at 15:51:11 Guys I just got in from a 308mi ride with the Old Geezer Gang. These old men will kill ya. One of em is 64 and the other one is 65. I'm the youngest one at 55. Ok I recently started flying RC Airplanes again. Spiked my interest in old airplanes. Find me a single engine private aircraft made before 1970. There are thousands of private airstrips with old airplanes in them so get to work. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 04/17/10 at 09:03:43 We have a local private air strip not far from my house. My son is friends with a man who has a plane, I could probably get him to go over with me. But we got a little cool weather and its been windy as he!!. Bought blew me and the bike off the road yesterday. Was not fun. lol So how can I tell if its pre-1970? Guess I'll have to ask? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Midnightrider on 04/17/10 at 18:18:02 I can probably tell from the picture what model the plane is. Jerry E is a pilot and instructor but he doesnt have a digital camera. He might even own a plane that qualifys. Its been really windy here in NC too. Take your time and ride when its safe. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Sandy Koocanusa on 04/18/10 at 16:59:25 Here's one from the "You'd just have to take my word for it" file. I rode over to the private airport this afternoon to get a picture. There were signs all over the place announcing the owners' reluctance to have me riding around unchaperoned. In light of the complete lack of common sense associated with anything airplane that has swept our nation in recent years, I decided that blowing through the gate to photograph someone's private plane while dressed in black leather might be counterproductive. None of the planes were visible from the main road, so I went home. I was changing the oil in our bikes, when a plane took off from the airport, which is roughly aligned with my property. The camera was still in my bag on the bike, so I grabbed it, getting oil all over the darn thing, laid down to try to get a little motorcycle in the shot, and pulled the trigger. If you look real hard, you can see the plane just to the right of the mirror. It's hardly a winning shot, but after all that work, I had to tell someone about it. http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/148/l_156d86a2e09b4283b42ab476126577d1.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Sandy Koocanusa on 04/18/10 at 18:06:19 I hate to waste good fresh oil by letting it sit idle, so I rode into Kalispell. I don't know how old this plane is, but it has been hanging right there for as long as I can remember, which would put it in the 70's or earlier. http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/122/l_04ee0e2c1fac408690cf20a9b2c0a0e8.jpg And here is one of their functioning planes inside the fence, which appeared to have bugs on the windshield that were older than 1970. http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/112/l_a34102d4b33b47de985b05d713828cbf.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mpescatori on 04/25/10 at 23:59:35 Hello DrHarveys, thanks for the quote, I take it as a wonderful compliment ! ;) As I said, I consider myself "non-runner" because... there just isn't much time for me to go out hunting for objects&things... Furthermore, with a 6hr. time difference, I'm either 6 hrs. early or 18 hrs. late! :D The nuraghe I posted is "Su Nuraxi" ("x" in ancient Sardinian being pronounced like the French "j") you'd pronounce it "Soo Noo-ra-jee" and it's so big (an entire village and a 5-tower castle, quite unusual) it is considered to be the only "royal residence" rather than a simple watchtower or warlord's dwelling. Nuraxi were cone-shaped stone towers, at least 3 stories high, and you would ALWAYS enter from the 2nd floor through a ladder (a bit like some Mesa dwellings in the Mid/South West) The oldest excavations have provided findings dating back to 2000 BC and beyond... ...which is in line with Egyptian incriptions quoting "shardana" (sardinian soldiers) as bodyguards to Pharaoh Amenophis IV: These fierce fighters couldn't speak the language and would be faithful to their King to the end. http://www.shardana.org/SHARDANA_GRAFICO.gif Pictured is the "horned, 4-eyed, 4 handed warrior" :o Read all abvout it at www.shardana.org (you'll need Google's online translator, but it's fascinating) 8-) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 04/27/10 at 09:13:15 Thank you.. you are all much too kind! :D Hmmmm... I don't know how well this will go over with BabyHog. Let me know if it is a bit ... too far over the top. Find.. an animal on the road. Qualifications. Must be ALIVE and healthy. (No road kill). Must be relatively mobile. (No turtles people.. OK?) No Dogs. No cats. (Dime a dozen). Must have gotten on the road because it was their idea. (luring with food is OK) Must be ON THE ROAD.. not to the side, not behind some fence. and, yes, you need to get the picture of you and/or your bike AND the animal AND the road, all in the same shot. Long range pictures OK.. as long as the above conditions can be verified by the contents of the picture. Bonus points for exotic animals. Bonus points for non-domestic. The perfect picture would be a huge Grizzly bear getting ready to swat your motorcycle into the trees. What you think? Doable?? (Got this idea after way too many close encounters of the bovine kind last weekend) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 04/27/10 at 09:41:50 Wow youzguyz! Doable? Whew! I think of DJMidnight's picture of the bear coming out of the woods! Oh, but it wasn't ON the road... I don't know, that's a tough one.... you better put a time limit on it. Chickens might be a possibility.... I could lure my niece's sugar glider on the road, but it would take off! How about the neighbor's gineau pig? lol Yea, that's not the idea, right.... Hey, maybe in a park, deer are always wandering around close to the road and almost tame.... thinking with my fingers... And just because I started this thread, I don't want to be considered judge and jury! We all ride together on it, in my book. |

Understood, which is why I changed it. Around here, lots of open range, which means there is no fence. The critters wander around in the open. The challenge, in that case, would be to get a shot of them before they moved off the road, as they tend to do when a vehicle approaches. Other places, this may not be so common, and seeing any live animal on or along side the road would be a rarity. Use your judgement people! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi on 04/27/10 at 09:48:40 Sounds good. Now if I could get the time to do it. |

Chickens.. fair game, tough to make them stand still or get close enough with a motorcycle. Maybe there should be the caveate that you are not familiar with the critter. ;D I don't think a "drive through" zoo would allow motorcycles. I sure wouldn't want to go through one!!!

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 04/30/10 at 02:40:07 Bump. For the weekend. Come ON people, get those cameras, get out there and shoot them critters (photographically speaking..). Heck, I was out yesterday and could have shot a dozen cows, a turtle (which would not count), a llama, and a few buzzards enjoying lunch. Don't MAKE me go to my backup search item. You won't like it. ;) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by skatnbnc on 04/30/10 at 08:25:59 there just isnt anything unusal out here! none of the cows are near the roads because of the log trucks barreling thru. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by buttgoat1 on 04/30/10 at 10:32:16 i know, i try really hard to keep my cows out of the road, deer dont stay long, the most promising would be a possum really "playin possum" (by that I mean dead btw) what is the backup? (said with dread) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 04/30/10 at 11:00:06 I saw a rat on the road once, other than that, no critters besides dogs, cats, and crows (the crows pecking at dead cats.) The only direction I don't have city for 50 miles is ocean. Whoa! Would a horse count? We have lots of people that go for rides. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mick on 05/03/10 at 08:44:29 I think this assignment is a tad dangerious,I'm going to skip this one. A car is not easy to park in the middle of the road and try and take pictures. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 05/03/10 at 09:35:58 Mick, I think the idea was the animal be in the road. He said you could have your bike (your car) off the side of the road. Having said that, I think this one might need curbed for a while. I saw 2 turtles on the road over the weekend, but they didn't count. Maybe try it again later?? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by skatnbnc on 05/03/10 at 10:28:05 okay - weekend over - give us a NEW item to find! I never found anything living - just the following dead this weekend = fox, racoon, opposum, cat, and a really big turtle. seems like my roads are downright deadly. :( |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 05/03/10 at 10:47:12 Unbelievable.. I went through an entire herd of goats Saturday. Oh well.. Here is the new search item. Gasoline pump with a glass top. Should look sorta like this: http://www.baycitystoreandlodgingohioriver.com/Gas%20Pump%20and%20Globe.jpg While using this exact same pump would be.. sorta cheating? Honorable mention will be given for you Ohio people that find the store and get a picture of that pump and your bike! AND if nobody else can find one, you win!!! Bonus points if it is actually working!! :D Double bonus points if you put gas in your bike from it! ;D |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 05/03/10 at 11:10:31 Sounds good youzguyz. How about this -- we will leave the "animal" hunt (funny pun, haha) open, just in case someone gets lucky. But when someone posts pics of the gas pump, and we start another new one, we will close the Animal for some future time. Anybody see a problem with that? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by EJID on 05/04/10 at 10:31:06 Sounds good to me. I don't even know if I've ever seen a gas pump with a glass top like that before, so I think this one will be just as challenging for me to look for, but worth a try. Let's get out there ;D ;D ;D |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 05/04/10 at 12:07:23 After looking at the picture, a bit of clarification might be needed. The "glass" part is NOT the white thing on top. It is the part just below that, covered with a metal screen. I think you could actually see the gasoline flowing inside the pump. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by bill67 on 05/04/10 at 12:12:02 They way they worked you pumped the gas up in the glass top and it show how many gallons(marks) then it went down into your car. I remember them. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by ALfromN.H. on 05/04/10 at 13:08:51 The early pumps were called 'visible gas' pumps, with a... clear glass cylinder, usually 5 or 10 gallons on top of the pump, so you could see what you were getting, or if the gas was dirty (a big problem at that time). There was a manual pump you’d pull back and forth to pump the gas out of the underground tank into the cylinder, which was 8 or 10 feet tall. From there the gas flowed by gravity down the hose into the car. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 05/05/10 at 05:08:23 Glad you clarified that. I was looking at the globe on top. I had one in mind, but I'm not sure if it has that mesh part... hmmmm Good luck folks... get out there and find one! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 05/09/10 at 16:38:14 So who picks next, LostArtist or me?? Believe it or not, I was at my mother's house on Saturday (in the truck, not on the bike) and 2 doors down from Mom's house, sat another one of these pumps in front of a garage. We knew we had seen one somewhere, but couldn't remember where! I knew about the 2 in the picture, but couldn't remember if they were the right kind. So we decided to drive past them on the way home, and they were right too. They are closer to my house, and were easier... It was a chilly ride, but worth it. Mother's Day, and my son rode with my hubby, so it was awesome! |

Either way, I just hope that I can finally get out and "hunt" for something soon ;D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 05/10/10 at 02:32:29 Wellll... It was my understanding that the "animal" hunt was null and void when I posted the "gas pump" hunt. While LostArtist did post a fine picture of a chicken, it was too late. I do not know what to do.. :-/ But I have some lousy ideas, as usual. How about they BOTH post an idea. Then 1. The first picture of either idea wins OR 2. The first persion to post pictures of BOTH ideas wins. (that would be tough) BabyHog, I hate to put you on the spot, but, what say you? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 05/10/10 at 05:30:07 I think its too confusing to have 2 hunts going at one time. I can't think of anything good at the moment, so I'll PM LostArtist and maybe we can come up with something good together. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 05/11/10 at 10:10:59 Ok, sorry for the delay, but here we go... Get out there and find a Billboard with a picture of a motorcycle on it!

A Harley used in a generic way is fine, as long as the sign isn't promoting it. |

Typical Texas creek bed. Fairly smooth rock. Any sand, gravel, pebbles, etc gets washed away normally. That is literally a part of Middle Creek Road (guess that's why they call it that ;D ).

(unless nobody else wants to get that close to a cop) Buttgoat... go ahead and get the drawbridge pic. I'm sure everyone would love to see it. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by ALfromN.H. on 05/24/10 at 09:37:06 I'v been working on the list. I haven't had alot of riding time but as soon as I have more than just a couple list items, i'll post some pics. I better get going because the list keeps getting longer and longer. AL |

I certainly didn't take it personally :) I have looked for most of the things that were on the list, but just couldn't find them or happened across them without the bike or didn't have a camera. Somethings are just harder to find than others. I also know not everyone lives in the sunny, warm south like me! I can feel the pain of those who have to ride in snow and freezing weather. :'( I am sure that once the weather gets nice (a relative term I guess, depending on where you are) more folks will be out and more pictures can be taken. Drawbridge, police car, it doesn't matter to me. Tell Buttgoat to get busy and he can select the next challenge. Maybe I can find that one with the bike and the camera together! I enjoy the looking! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by EJID on 05/26/10 at 14:28:13 I've been thinking about this for a while now, but about two years ago a "prime" piece of land was sold to be subdivided and developed included in this piece of land was a local landmark. A place generations of families had visited (a few were probably even started there ;D). But in the sale they decided to dismantle and remove the structure for "advancement." During the dismantling it caught on fire and was destroyed so we no longer have one, so could you go find me a local drive in theater that is still showing movies so I can reminisce? :-? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by John_D FSO on 05/27/10 at 22:38:39 Thanks! Unfortunately, not my lady, just my passenger (she's spoken for, at the moment anyway :(). Still, it's a nice change to have someone along for the ride, and I've definitely got her hooked! ;D I got the 1/2 helmet, to have a spare that wasn't sized to my ginormous mellon, and after the first ride she was already talking about saving up for a FF. She's not exactly running out to get her own bike, but I've definitely created a dedicated passenger! ;D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 05/31/10 at 03:25:58 Find me a utility pole. Oh.. guess it needs a bit more of a challenge. It must have old GLASS insulators for the lines. None of your modern ceramic stuff. Go and seek. Return not until your quest is finished! :P |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 06/01/10 at 09:48:06 Even though my Savage is now running it's still one gasket short of being roadworthy. So even though I ride over a drawbridge every time I ride to work I couldn't shoot it with the Savage. But imagine my surprise to see the old glass insulators on the poles in front of my neighbor's house. I had to dig out my binoculars to confirm they were really glass. http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2010/06/01/bikepics-1988021-800.jpg Here's a closeup of the pole http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2010/06/01/bikepics-1988023-200.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mick on 06/01/10 at 11:08:02 Jef I don't like to be a nay sayer ,but I don't think they are the right ones, the glass insolators are alot bigger than that and they are usually green. I have the same ones as you out side my front door. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 06/01/10 at 12:11:27 I actually have a small collection of the colored glass insulators http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/ins1.jpg?t=1275419205 As I mentioned, I used binoculars to get a look at the insulators on the pole and they appear to be uncolored translucent glass. Still, no big deal if that's not what was meant. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 06/01/10 at 19:21:17 OK, so I have a small collection of little glass thing-a-ma-bobs. Too bad the assignment wasn't to find colored glass breasts. Interesting that I placed them next to each other with out thinking about it. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 06/02/10 at 02:26:14 Jef, Some valid points brought up here.. on both sides. This is not far from you (across the street), so you should be able to get a better close up shot of those insulators. Most digital cameras, even in phones, take pretty high resolution shots that you can zoom in with a photo editor. No.. don't climb the pole! :o Mick posted a nice picture of what they look like. Here's another. They will be normally be green, blue, or clear http://galleryplus.ebayimg.com/ws/web/260611892547_1_0_1.jpg Ceramic, like this, are still too common to be hunted. http://galleryplus.ebayimg.com/ws/web/320539156012_1_0_1.jpg And uncover the bike and get it in a shot too. We like to see othe peoples rides!! :D Why are my hunts always so ridden with problems!! :-? I swear..next time it will be "dead skunk in the middle of the road". Yes, in the MIDDLE, on the LINE, or at least touching the line, or what would have been the line if said line in the middle of the road was continued to the next line in order on that road. ----- X ----- ------- :P In my opinion, if nobody can do better than Jef by Monday, he will be declared "winner" so we can move on. :D |

Those are the style I'm most familiar with. There used to be an old phone line between us and the neighbor strung with bare wire on poles, and these insulators. The old hand crank phones was hooked up to it, but didn't work. However, when lightning would get close, it would "ding" once in a while. You did NOT want to answer it! ;D I've seen them in bluish, greenish, clear, and even a dark purple one. In fact, if I dug through some boxes, I've got some somewhere... |

The pole in the pic has the same insulators but they didn't show up in the photo nearly as well. They look just like the green one that Mick posted except they're not colored, like the clear one in youzguyz post. http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/polecu2.jpg?t=1275484341 |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 06/14/10 at 12:46:47 The tough part here is finding a cafe with seating ON a sidewalk! Add to that the fun of parking the bike in the street next to the cafe, then finding someone to stand in the middle of the street to get a picture of the bike, the sidewalk, and you sitting at the cafe. Just ain't so easy! Lots of places with outdoor seating here, and lots of places where I could get a picture of me sitting there with the bike in the foreground. The tough part.. that sidewalk!! |

Have fun...I won't be back on here til Sunday night cuz I'm riding up to Geneva on the Lake for 3 days of camping. I did manage to fit everything on my bike with the help of 2 duffel bags and 2 ratchet straps. Later all... 8-) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by doc5446 on 06/20/10 at 10:10:26 Nobody had a bonfire over the weekend? :-/ My ride up to Geneva on the Lake was awesome and highly recommend riding SR531 to Conneaut. Conneaut beach allows vehicles on the beach and I couldn't resist. With about 100 vehicles on the beach, 90% were 4WDs, 20% were cars and one lunatic riding on a motorcycle ;D.I just developed even more respect for my bike after she pulled right through fine sand, foot and a half deep in some spots, but I am looking forward to riding up there again. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs161.snc4/37366_401244553788_505103788_4305668_100044_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs181.snc4/37366_401320563788_505103788_4308365_8378309_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs081.ash2/37366_401320573788_505103788_4308366_3225524_n.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 06/25/10 at 08:12:42 Nice beach pics doc! Well, we fell back to Page 3, and the weekend is almost upon us. I can't believe no one has found a fire. I thought that would be easy. Should we pick something else for the weekend, or wait till Monday? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 06/25/10 at 12:08:19 Let it ride for the weekend. I might just get the urge to burn something.. It's been a really bad work week. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by EJID on 06/25/10 at 16:04:02 Should've moved the bike into the backyard. Last night we lit the fire pit and roasted marshmallows while drinking margaritas. 8-) |

Post by youzguyz on 06/30/10 at 08:49:44 I was gonna disconnect the gas line from the carb and run down the street until the bowl ran out of gas (do some circles, figure 8s, etc) then light the gas trail. Yeah.. right. :o What I shoulda done is taken a picture of the "Burn Ban" signs! ;D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 06/30/10 at 15:28:59 I was looking over at Pollo Ala Brasa, Vermont 16527 South Vermont Avenue, Gardena, CA 90247. It is a sleezy tiny place that you would avoid the neighbors (check the iron window/door) but you do note the Smell of Wood Smoke. http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Photo030.jpg Stop the motorcycle you notice the smoke from the building, and from a large pile of wood. http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Photo031.jpg Inside the building you see the fire with the BBQ chicken that is cooked over real a wood fire. Google has 50+ reviews, 5-Star. http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Photo029.jpg |

This time you can use some imagination. I want to see a pic of your bike with a GIANT anything. I don't care what it is and I'm open to any interpretation of GIANT.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Serowbot on 07/07/10 at 08:54:34 Nope,.. we're still on giants... Paladin says that's only a medium LA donut,... Let's keep posting Giants 'till Jeff says we have a winner... ...or 'till Paladin posts the big LA donut... ;D... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 07/11/10 at 15:46:11 Something easy. A sign.. a traffic sign, a street sign, some kind of sign that has to do with navigation of a road. Oh.. did I mention.. it needs to be 1. funny 2. weird or 3. obviously wrong I.E. http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2010%5C07%5C11%5Cbikepics-2017161-full.jpg As long as it gets a ;D or a :o or a :-? NO advertisement signs. Must be a permanent sign that was officially put in place by some govt agency that relates to traffic control or navigation. As always.. your bike should be in the picture. Seek and ye shall find. |

Anyway, that one was fun, so keep posting pics. For the next challenge, I want to see your Volunteer Fire Department.... with one of two stipluations: Fire Truck - OR - A volunteer fireman or any department personnel, male or female If you use the truck - I know it might be hard to get the fire house in the picture too, so make sure we can see the VFD on the truck. If you use the person - then the bike, the person, and the fire house should be visible. Of course, you bike has to be in the picture too! *By the way, I will be out of town Friday thru Sunday, and probably won't have internet service, so don't wait for me to declare a winner. I think my instructions are pretty clear (and easy enuf!) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Southpaw on 07/15/10 at 07:58:37 Well done Babyhog! There's a subdivision in a neighboring town that has all the road names tied to "The Wizard Of Oz". I tried to get a picture of Yellow Brick Rd, Wizard Way and Scarecrow Lane where they converge but of course some of the signs were stolen! One of the residents says it happens so often they quit replacing them until after the college students go back to school. It seems they are valued dorm decorations! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 07/22/10 at 12:52:52 I thought my stipulations would be easier, but its been a week, so just show me your bike in front of the fire station (even if its not Volunteer) and I'll be happy. Move this puppy along.... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by John_D FSO on 07/22/10 at 13:41:47 My uncle's on a VFD (quite a ways from here), and just about the only time there's anyone in the station is right before or after a call; not sure if they're all like that. They all just carry pagers that go off when there's a call, and they hurry down to the station. Of course in a town of 300-400, that's not a long way to hurry. ;D |

Within seconds after the pic was taken a guy came running from the right and the door behind the rear tire opened. An ambulance drove out and the guy got in. They sat for a minute while a plain black pickup with red lights and a siren on came flying in. He got in the ambulance and they left with lights and siren. Didn't seem like a good time to approach them about a picture. http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/fh2.jpg?t=1279861571 This is an actual volunteer. But he's a volunteer for an arts center that is housed in an old firehouse. I know I'm late but I had to post them anyway after I worked so hard. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 07/23/10 at 05:39:31 Woohoo! Nice pics jef! I appreciate your efforts. :) :) buttgoat, that's fabulous! Even better if its something that has him excited. Any way to keep the youngsters out of trouble and into something productive is a plus in my book. My son started at the VFD when he turned 16. He'll be 19 in a couple weeks and has loved it ever since. I thought it was a great idea just for the exposure to so many different walks of life. Look at all the different types of people that those guys get to meet. Policemen, doctors of all sorts,..... so many possibilities to spark their interest in something. And its great that the High School promotes it too. I don't think our school had that, so you are one up! Best of luck to your son! Maruzio, the cemetaries where my Dad and step-dad are buried, I can ride the bike through, and did so last Father's Day. There are paved "paths" throughout the properties. Of course, I wouldn't advise riding on the grass, or onto any graves! I might be able to find an applicable tombstone, facing the road, to get a pic. I can think of several nearyby cemetaries where I would be able to ride. Can't do it in Europe because of being a motorcycle? Loudness? Maybe it seems insensitive? But my Father never got to see me ride, and he was the one who inspired me to ride, so I had to go show him my bike!! Edit -- Here are a couple pics... The Guard that fired the salute for my Dad, and me and best childhood friend. This is the top row of a large cemetary, on the side of a pretty good hill. Notice the slope, and the roads, and cars... http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/stuff/P9060569.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/stuff/P9060601.jpg |

Can you find the Savage? http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/vincent-2.jpg?t=1280017748 Then I found Ward as in Montgomery Wards. I didn't realize there was supposed to be an S on Wards 'til I got home. http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/ward.jpg?t=1280017877 Then I saw Henderson. I wouldn't have thought of this without help from the example. http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/henderson.jpg?t=1280017953 |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 07/24/10 at 20:40:12 I think I'll combine the recent street sign search with this name assignment and ask for a street sign with a name from The Brady Bunch on it. I'll include actor's names as well as character's names. For instance I live just off of Florence St. Feel free to use Google- I can't even name the characters let alone the actors. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by drharveys on 07/26/10 at 14:17:36 OK, this time we're going for "mostest". The winner will be whoever collects the most points for recycled houses of worship. To qualify, the structure must have been designed or initially used as a church, synagogue, mosque, chapel, cathedral, temple or shrine. (Catholic schools or colleges, church affiliated colleges, Pakistani madrassas don't qualify, but if a college chapel was converted to, say, a food court or performance venue that building would.) Voluntary turnover is rewarded, coercion is penalized. Here's the scoring system, followed by some examples: 5 points Church building voluntarily de-sanctified and used for a secular purpose. Example, the church in the Alice's restaurant song that is now a restaurant. The synagogue in St. Louis which is now the library for the history museum. 4 points The building stays religious, but changes religion. Some examples: the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul -- went from Byzantine Christian cathedral to Muslim mosque. Any of a number of inner city Black churches that took over the building of a synagogue whose congregation had moved to the suburbs. 3 points The building changes denominations, but remains in the same religious stream. An example would be if a Protestant church changes from Church of Christ to Unitarian, or if a mosque goes from Sunni to Shia. 2 points The building is abandoned and is derelict or in ruins. Subtract 1 point for coercion. So, when Henry VIII forced an English cathedral to change from Catholic to Church of England Protestant, that's 2 points -- 3 for changing flavors of Christianity minus one for doing it at the point of a sword. Churches turned into warehouses by the Communists or synagogues shut down by Nazis or fascists: 5 - 1 = 4 points. Time frame: till next Monday, so we have the weekend for riding! Lets see those photos and point counts! 8-) |

Wow ..... How many points is that gona be ? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by drharveys on 07/27/10 at 21:21:43 As for the history, I'll take your word for it. 617361737E6D626F642C0 wrote:
Eight Points -- the count begins when the structure becomes a church, otherwise every storefront church would be a five pointer. Going from Baptist to Pentecostal is a change within the Protestant stream -- 3 points. Going from church to choppers is a voluntary (hopefully the church moved on to larger quarters, but if they had to downsize or dissolve due to loss of congregants or economic factors that's not the same as being shut down by the authorities). And, unless you consider choppers to be a religious conviction, a cycle shop is secular, so that's 5 more points. Post it and you're in the lead! :) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by drharveys on 07/30/10 at 05:09:21 We have eight points on the board! Weekend is approaching -- let's get into the double digits. And let's hear from the European side of the pond -- from the Protestant reformation through the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century, there's lots of altered churches to be found! (Anyone for a quick trip to Spain, I understand the Inquisition and the Reconquista shifted the uses of a lot of religious buildings...) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 07/30/10 at 18:22:21 Well, here's my 5 points, I think: 309 Beauregard Street, Charleston, WV Current home of the Kanawha Players, a local theater company. The "history" page of their website (http://kanawhaplayers.org/?page_id=90) indicates that they bought the church in 2005 and began renovations. The "contact us" page also shows a picture of the building. I think it is obvious that it was a church, but if you Google the address, a listing for "First Christian Church" comes up. http://www.churchangel.com/WEBWV/crw.htm I have a couple others in mind that I didn't get to photograph yet. I hope the rain holds off tomorrow! http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/PIC-0987.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/PIC-0990.jpg |

But it's obvious -- Paladin by Acclamation MM Ranch take second with 13 points Babyhog fills out the podium with 5 points As for the rest of you -- quit quibbling and start riding! ;) Now let's see where Paladin is sending us! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 08/02/10 at 13:02:23 Think... Think... ah... hem... okay.... Elmadag mountain, near Ankara Turkey. There were the equipment room and antennas, right at the top of the mountain. A road, about a half a mile to ride to the barracks a bit below the top. Also a path. If you needed to get from the barracks to the equipment, in a rush, you could run up the stairs up the mountain, about 178 stairs. I am looking for a outside stair, on a hill with the stairs on the ground. Like this: http://www.inspectapedia.com/exterior/Exterior_Stairs192-DFs.jpg http://media.lonelyplanet.com/lpimg/23855/23855-1/preview.jpg Just four stairs, or fourty, who ever finds the most stair raisers.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 08/07/10 at 18:47:55 Ok.... Hubby and I went for a ride today. Didn't take my bike, rode with him, so here are a few select pictures. A link to all of the pics is at the bottom. This is an Indian burial mound. The steps spiral around both sides. 39 steps each, 2 runs, so 78 total, if you want to count that way. Also add 7 up to the platform to the base of the mound. http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/Steps/PIC-1012.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/Steps/PIC-1014.jpg Can you see the bike down by the tree? http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/Steps/PIC-1017.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/Steps/PIC-1026.jpg I didn't count these, but I know there are over 100. These go from a parking lot up to the football field at WV University of Technology. I went to college there for a couple years and climbed these many times. http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/Steps/PIC-1039.jpg This set also goes to the football field, on the other end of the field. I did count these -- 126. Bottom 1/3 visible, top 2/3 go behind the trees... http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/Steps/PIC-1040.jpg On up, from that lowest 1/3 landing.... http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/Steps/PIC-1042.jpg Now, our beautiful State Capitol building. I didn't count these either, but I could.... http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/Steps/PIC-1061.jpg Across the street from the Capitol is the river, and tons more steps that go all the way down into the water. Couldn't get the bike over there. But there was a cool looking sternwheeler coming up river while we were there and it turned around, right in the middle of the river, directly in front of where we were standing. There are some pics in my album, along with others that I took riding down the road, etc... http://s757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/Steps/ |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 08/09/10 at 04:46:44 Southpaw did a quick entry to 26 steps up a Church, combining two quests. A beautiful green location of a stairway up the hill that kept people to keeping only respectable climbs. Babyhog told people to don't bother, she has this quest! Took her ride and proved to be her word: 1. An Indian burial mound. The steps spiral, including a landing, with 78 steps to the top of 78 total. 2. These that go from a parking lot up to the football field at WV University of Technology. I went to college there for a couple years and climbed these many times, not numbered but over 100. 3. The second stairway to the football field, on the other end of the field, where counted these -- 126. (which will thus have the other about the same.) Again clean beautiful green foliage. Congratulation! The winner of the Quest of the Steps. What is the Next Quest? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 08/19/10 at 11:08:35 LOL Southpaw! Can we get an ANALOG watch on that telephone pole? ;D I was going to take a picture of a parking meter.. technically a clock on a post, and some of them are quite antique! But the best I can do is a sort of "pillared" clock, on street corner in one of those refurbished neighborhoods. http://i38.tinypic.com/2mridl0.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 08/19/10 at 12:07:34 Well this is very interesting! Jef.Savage posted a valid shot 7 minutes before Paladin's also valid shot --BUT-- the time on Paladin's clock shows it was taken 15 minutes sooner than Jeff's, assuming they are in the same time zone and taken on the same day. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 08/19/10 at 12:26:29 See, I knew it could be done! Very good! Even Southpaw gave it one helluva creative try! Boule'tard - what's next? (I think I'll keep competing, but wait till someone posts first, then I'll post pics, so I don't have to choose the challenge again! LOL) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 08/19/10 at 13:32:52 That was good enough to win?! Ok how about one of those tethered blimps, the kind they send up for weather data, or surveillance, or as an advertisement for a car dealer. Or (for Texas residents) an inflated gorilla on the roof of a car dealer will also work. Try to park closer than this example: http://i34.tinypic.com/i59bts.jpg |

http://babyhog.savageriders.com/ Index of / Name Last modified Size Clock.jpg 17-Aug-2010 17:09 72k Picture was taking at 1:22 pm, went looking for the alleged clock that is suppose to be in Torrance, upload, massage the picture, upload to Babyhog at 5:09pm. That Tuesday. I was a little slow posting the message. I have several post clocks I could go to picture. Which is why I am not allowed to play. (But the churches were too to look for -- my favorite being the Garden of Eden Grill and Bar in an ex-church. Dude! I CHEAT! "This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here." -- Sgt. Joe Friday, Dragnet, 1951. http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/LA-Map.jpg This is Western Ave, all city, 27.6 miles from San Pedro to Hollywood. West-East is Sepulveda-Willow-Katella 32.5 miles, also city. City goes farther. I have over 1,000 square miles of city to hunt thru the Scavenger. You want a tethered blimp? The Spirit of America is based in Carson, California -- one of the Goodyear Blimps. Several times everyday it is tethered, less than five miles from my house. There is a giant balloon gorilla onto of the Skechers store at 190th and Vermont. The past Scavenger finds were the Double Deck Bus, which I have a better picture for three together; the staircase I have to still up to in that has roughly 250 risers; and the fountain 200 from my house: http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Fountain.jpg This is FUN! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 08/19/10 at 19:52:24 Oops I forgot to exclude blimps within a 100 mile radius of Paladin's house, or maybe Paladin should be restricted to only gorillas on car dealers (or mobile home dealers) which may be a tad harder to find there than here. :D I was surprised babyhog let me pick something, with that non-spec stonework clock and all. Edit: man you got lucky with that pipe going off so close to your house. That happened to my parents in the early 70s, except the stream blasted right at the roof and flooded inside the house. I thought it was cool and all at the time, today I'd freak out. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 08/19/10 at 22:57:23 Cool! I can have breakfast, make it to San Diego, find a Gorilla Balloon, and be back for lunch by home. Found out that there are eight inch caps on the street to close the valves. As not been touched for 40 years that I know. They were NOT easy to lift the caps. One was under the fountain. I know that the guy was cold. About two dozen others police/firemen watched, dry. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 08/20/10 at 06:17:37 I voted Boule'tard because Paladin has it so easy. LOL Good thing is, we can always depend on him to end the tough ones that nobody else seems to be able to find! I think his handicap should be a 2-day waiting period! LOL I'm teasing you Paladin. I love L.A.!! And I'm even happier that you are back to riding. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 08/20/10 at 06:34:28 I still don't understand why my actual pole clock, which was posted before Paladin's was excluded.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 08/20/10 at 06:42:43 Yep jef.savage is actually the winner, first in with the correct clock, and with the best looking bike. Definitely due for some gravy there.. babyhog kissies are a good consolation prize. ;) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 08/20/10 at 06:57:56 making sure i am looking for the right thing - we are looking for a tethered blimp correct? - there is a golf tourny in town this weekend and i bet the Met-Life or similar is at the airport.......just got to find it parked there sometime while riding this weekend. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 08/20/10 at 08:23:56 Right. I figured a blimp in free flight would be too easy because you can see them across town. Plus, a far-off spec in the sky with no tether is too easy to photshop.. not that anyone would try that.. it is far more fun, and takes more creativity to cheat with props. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 08/20/10 at 10:26:01 Yes but you may also assume that the challenger is the arbiter of what is good enough to pass the challenge :P I would not object to a change though. Since skatnbnc was sadly derelict with the clock post, maybe the next challenge should be a Savage parked by a mid-20s North Carolina chick in 1860s dress, or similar eye candy. Another idea I had is to find a sign that plays on someone's username, like "Hash Browns" "baby hogs for sale" etc. You guys can change it with babyhog's permission of course, or just go snag that blimp before lunchtime. ;) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 08/20/10 at 10:44:03 I'm gonna take my ball and go home! :D LOL My thought process was that Southpaw's was a joke. He was just trying to get this one over with, bless his heart! And I would have eventually asked him to pick the next challenge, but then Boule'tard posted his effort. Yes jef.savage and Paladin's were more like my example, but Boule'tard's was first, and was acceptable to me (being my challenge), so.... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 08/20/10 at 11:11:29 Cool. Weracerc will take control and hopefully go with something as hard to find in L.A as possible, ;D Like a tattered old steel water tower that is still in service. http://www.touringtexas.com/gruene/TowerMVC817c.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone?

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 08/21/10 at 19:28:25 Darn, no MetLife blimp.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 08/26/10 at 15:40:42 For those who wanted to see a Blimp or a Watertank in Los Angeles (area): http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/GoodyearBlimp.jpg http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/WaterTank1.jpg Hmmm... "military surplus or fully functioning Artillery/Anti Aircraft/Cannon etc at a private residence...." While we have military surplus, people who have such at home do not generally display them. They have them, but usually you need money to get to see their toys, such as to be used in movies. I would not be able to do this. Business have lots. Cities have things around as well. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 08/31/10 at 18:14:04 interesting - creative - however slightly off target - i will entertain entries thru 9-8 if no real yard artillery is found then creative entries will prevail in the order they were rec'd......i just got to Oregon will be here for 2 days. corrected for the "Webster's Police"......sorry long day key stroke challenged anyway on a good day |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 09/06/10 at 15:44:51 At least Paladin used a real photo, I think he should get the win. I also think 13 days is WAY too long to stick with one challenge. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 09/06/10 at 17:22:07 two weekends including a holiday? not too long especially since no one found it - and i know they exist - oh well I guess it was too hard or not perceived as worth looking for - thanks for those who sent in a pix - like i said earlier i figured it would take some level of creativity and the first come first serve is the winner.....i'll let it go early since two weekends did not produce a legit winner. so what are we looking for next? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 09/06/10 at 20:13:33 As I said, we have them, but they are stashed out of sight. In garages in Los Angeles there are Jeeps with 106mm Recoilless Rifles ... who do you thing the movie companies get them from? Someone has a federal license, with a Jeep and a working .50 cal. machine gun. Ms. Paladin found a pile of TOYS but I have to talk to the owner . . . it is behind fences. As for the next an easy one. We have been talking about animals on the road. I want Road Kill. Flattest. You have until Noon east coast time Friday -- so the next guy pick a better hunt starting Saturday. Vertebrates, not bugs on the shield. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by drharveys on 09/07/10 at 05:19:39 OK -- flattest road kill. I suppose deer and elk are automatically eliminated. ;D Should it still be identifiable by species, or are would a smear qualify? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 09/07/10 at 09:14:27 icky poo but can do - passed a flat a$$ fox (maybe who knows) near Reidsville NC this morning.....i bet there will be plenty of takers on this hunt - good luck everyone. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Ed L. on 09/07/10 at 16:18:08 Just find a Texas sail rabbit out on the road. It's sooo flat that you can flip it like a frisbee and sail it down the wind. ;) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 09/07/10 at 18:44:47 What got me thinking of a hunt. I think it was a squirrel (http://www.dslretorts.com/Paladin/archives/002691.html), about as flat as paint. As in "The more you drive over a cat the flatter it is." |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 09/10/10 at 11:54:47 well where is the winner? - i have seen three just not in a good (safe) place for me to park the bike and take a picture..... |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 09/10/10 at 13:13:03 So far, the leading person . . . no one. Park your bike on (under) your spouse and you will win. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 09/10/10 at 13:26:45 her legs are too short to throw over even a savage - and she has a hatred (jealousy perhaps) for the bike...just one more thing i get pleasure from riding - besides her! oopsy! |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 09/12/10 at 16:40:18 OKAY.... Probably too yucky for anyone to take photos. Change for a Live Animal, a horse, pulling a wagon, cart, etc.. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mick on 09/12/10 at 21:22:49 I did see a dead cat ,as flat as a pancake,but to add insult to injury the truck had been by and painted a yellow stripe over him. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 09/14/10 at 05:47:05 Saw 4 road-kills this morning on my 10-mile ride to work, but I was in the Jeep. Will probably go home at lunch and get the bike. I should be able to get a pic of one... Saw a live deer, but I don't think he will hold still for me to take a pic... lol |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 09/14/10 at 11:37:09 Ok, since we seem to be having problems with the animals, dead or alive, I will throw these out to you. My bike is not in the photo because it is a screen capture from a video and I was ON the bike... lol I saw 5 coming back from lunch, but only 2 that showed up well enough on screen... Here's a nice yucky one: http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/roadkill1.jpg And another: http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/roadkill2.jpg And here's the same shot during a morning ride a couple weeks ago... see no road kill, but you can see my shadow ;) http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/roadkill3.jpg |

Me too. I saw a flat "something" when I was riding this afternoon, but it wasn't safe to stop. No shoulder, just a cliff on one side, and a BIG drop on the other. Too bad, I'd have liked to get a shot of the view along with the roadkill. ::) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 09/15/10 at 04:27:45 Looks good, or bad depending on what you are looking at. I actually didn't find one in L.A. this time, I thinks the road crew was working overtime. So what's next? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 09/15/10 at 05:21:59 I'm wouldn't expect many roadkills in L.A. city, at least. I might see a dead squirrel in town, but the outroads are better. Oh, and my first picture there, if you notice, the right half of the lane with the kill in it was re-paved not long ago. It looks smoother than it is. I ride the old pavement there, but like to stay toward the middle of the lane. And its in a curve that folks in the other lane like to ride the double-yellow, so luckily I remember it was there on my way home. That could have been ugly! And I sure wish I could share the smell with you.... Ok NEXT -- Show me a "WELCOME TO ______" sign, for your City, Town or State. |

But was taken a more than a couple of days ago. Also counts as a police motorcycle officer, if you counts his personal motorcycle, and was a Mall Cop. Also got a sign of "Welcome to Gardena, an All American City" We hang our signs hanging up in the sky -- to stop Graffiti. http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Gardena_Sign.jpg A little slow.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 09/19/10 at 14:34:38 No.... The pic was years ago so they don't count. And the motorcycle cops are hiding. Maybe if I try speeding in Torrance? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mpescatori on 09/19/10 at 23:52:18 Hey ! I thought you'd won !

Unless AlfromNH won, and I just did a whoopsie... :-X ;D I mean, what should we be looking for, who decides ? AND What if I find what you want, but I'm riding another bike ?

Pictures are supposed to be taken specifically for the challenge. I love seeing the old pics, but for the purpose of the Scavenger Hunt, they are supposed to be new photos. As far as the bike, we have allowed others to use their other bikes, so your flattened pigeon with the BMW would have been fine. I can't remember if Midnight's wife is a motorcycle cop? But I bet HE would write you a ticket if you tried that! :o |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 10/14/10 at 09:12:48 i got this covered - there is a bentley/rolls dealer in town - raining today - if no body beats me to it by the end of the weekend - i got this covered....but of course Big P out in Cali where the stars are has plenty of them things rolling around all the time.....he snoozed on the weeping willow long enough for me to get there first - doubt he does it again. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 10/14/10 at 09:29:42 Geez, I veto-ed micks old picture because I wanted to get the fruit tree myself... just kidding. ;) But I can't think of anyone with a Rolls or Bentley, and they ain't real common around my area. Not to mention I haven't ridden since Sunday!! My next chance to ride will probably be this Sunday or Monday. So I'm probably out! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 10/17/10 at 10:16:14 ok Mick - how about a building full of Bentley's - they dont leave these things outside on the weekend - look closey in the glass and you have a Bentley, me and the bike...the Bentley logo on the building and a convertible Bentley behind the glass in that pix. http://bentleyhighpoint.com/ http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2010%5C10%5C17%5Cbikepics-2081487-800.jpg http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2010%5C10%5C17%5Cbikepics-2081488-full.jpg |

What the HECK??!!! You post the search on 10/18 and expect people to go out and get a pic in TWO DAYS?? >:( How about a weekend at least?

If you prefer llama, or alpaca, maybe Friday. Emu or camel would have to wait until at least the weekend. If you still really want fast food, well, that's your call. I just rode past 5 or 6 of them on the way back to work. Want me to run back out and take some shots?

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 10/20/10 at 11:27:48 I got too much crap for leaving one up for two weekends over a holiday - seems that the faster this moves along the more ppeople stay interested in it - the longer it drags out the fewer people stay involved......I have got to quit asking for difficult things seems no one "jumps" on them and they linger = lost interest.....I decided to make it simple so it can keep moving at a faster pace - dont like it sorry just trying to keep it moving forward. exotic anything or fast food you choose - at this point i dont care. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 10/21/10 at 07:29:24 New challenge: any two or more of the previous challenges in the same pic. For instance old VW and a baseball park, fountain and a cigar store Indian, etc... Multiples of the same challenge are allowed, i.e. two VW's or whatever. After the first multiple is posted you have 24 hours to beat it by posting more multiples in the same pic. The most challenges in one pic wins. Just a reminder, the challenges are all listed in the first post of this thread. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Arnold on 11/05/10 at 05:01:57 I found a few on eBay for cheap but it's gonna take some fiddling around to make any of them fit.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by drharveys on 11/11/10 at 17:39:21 OK, this probably shouldn't count because it was in July, and while my first attempt was on the bike, I didn't get to see the snow until I went back with the Xterra a few days later. Starting out from the Leadville side of Mosquito Pass: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Colorado%20Vacation%20Summer%202010/CO035.jpg I got about this far: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Colorado%20Vacation%20Summer%202010/CO044.jpg But turned back: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Colorado%20Vacation%20Summer%202010/CO045.jpg A few days later I took Mrs. Doc and the Xterra over the pass from the Alma side: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Colorado%20Vacation%20Summer%202010/CO165.jpg And sure enough, you could see snow at the crest: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Colorado%20Vacation%20Summer%202010/CO175.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by John_D FSO on 11/16/10 at 17:11:02 Okey doke, these are old so they won't count, but thought I'd post 'em to show some possibilities. This is from Oct. 16th, took a ride down around the south side of Mount Hood (with snow on it). Look close, you can see my nav system taped to the windshield! :D: http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/redneck72102/Bike%20Pics/DSCF0603.jpg These are from Nov. 3rd, rode up around Mount St. Helens, ironically to check out the new snow on it ;D: http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/redneck72102/Bike%20Pics/DSCF0620.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/redneck72102/Bike%20Pics/DSCF0623.jpg And I think this is Mount Adams in the distance: http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/redneck72102/Bike%20Pics/DSCF0618.jpg Went about a mile down that gravel road, but there's a lot of forks in it to get lost on, and that thing's not exactly a dirt bike. Might have to get a dual-sport as a second rig someday! |

1. It is "a pic of your bike with a turkey, any kind of turkey" and thus you win and get to set the next task. 2. It is interteresting that you have a bottle of Wild Turkey available.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 11/26/10 at 17:25:29 I expected a Butterball before the Wild Turkey! Hubby went to the liquor store for some Jack Daniels, but they had Wild Turkey on sale with two glasses in the cutest little wooden display case with glass door. I hadn't had any in ages, so I told him to get it, knowing in the back of my mind, I could use it here. But it is mighty tasty too! And I forgot how strong that 101 can be... heehee Ok... NEXT CHALLENGE: Since Thanksgiving is officially over, people are starting to put out the Christmas decorations. I want 3 different members to post pictures of Christmas displays, bike included of course. After the third one posts, I will pick the a winner. My idea is the more lights, the bigger display, the better. Preferably at a residence, but if you have a pretty local display, it will be considered too. Go find the Griswalds..... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 12/02/10 at 06:17:16 Ok, its been almost a week. I'll call off the "contest". Somebody just show me some Christmas decorations! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by EJID on 12/02/10 at 13:49:17 Thought about rolling out the bike for this one, but 3 major issues in my situation: 1. Have to ride it through 6" of snow to the neighbor's house to get it in front of the lights. 2. Have to be able to get a decent enough night-time picture to make it worth submitting. 3 (As Always) Never seem to have enough time :( |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 12/02/10 at 14:17:27 I am little behind. Last Christmas lights: http://www.andruschak.net/mike/Photo096.jpghttp://www.andruschak.net/mike/Photo097.jpghttp://www.andruschak.net/mike/Photo095.jpg When the trees grew up big I got rid of my pushup antenna, I don't why. So I just used pieces of EMT, 10' by 1.5", 1.25", and 1". Nested together, about 11 feet long. Stretched out including the Star, about 30 feet. THEN I had to find my hole. I couldn't find it. I ended up using a steak knife stabbing the lawn inch by inch. Found the cap, over a inch below the dirt. This is a 5 foot piece of 2" EMT. I now have the pole planted, the Star sitting at seven feet off the ground. When I am done, the star will be 24-25 feet high. http://www.savageriders.com/paladin/images/20101201-tree-o-lights.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 12/27/10 at 13:35:03 Show me your state flag! Rules: 1. Can NOT be on a business or government building. Private residence, ranch, whatever only. 2. Two pictures would be nice. One with the State AND U.S. Flag, one with only the State Flag (no cropping allowed!!! >:( ) 3. Bonus points for more than just the U.S. and State Flags. I've seen places with all 6 flags of Texas, plus military, plus fraternal. 4. I'm talking REAL flags here people. Not stickers, not signs. Flags that WAIVE.. 5. As always, you and/or your bike in the picture with the flags. 6. Above conditions subject to waiver as time goes on. So just get yours posted anyway. Texas State Flags will only be accepted if nobody else can find one of their respective state. We have 'em EVERY WHERE!! :D |

This was taken today over on Whidbey Island, Washington. 29 degrees was too cold for a 3 hr trip. This is the Wa State along with the American flag. Both are flying.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by kimchris1 on 01/10/11 at 14:02:40 Wow I never expected to win.. I would like to thank the forum for this marvelous opportunity.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Ok now to get serious. I want to see signs that have the name of your town on it. Also bonus points for county that you live in signs as well as any that have the population count on them. As much as we all try and have our bikes and selves in the pics, I realize that weather right now is preventing many of us of having our bikes in the pics. Therefore if your town is experiencing snow or other bad weather then please don't put yourselves or your bike in danger. I am going to place some photos of my town and county signs so you will see the examples. Due to snow I did not get Genie out today. Be careful and let's see how many towns we can get .. :) kim |

As you can see our town can be entered by two different ways. Now again pics must be of your town.. Your on your honor.. ;) Hugs.. :) kim |

|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 01/15/11 at 20:53:21 Ok.. the next challenge is one of those tax wavers. You know, when you go by a tax preparation place and they put a kid in a statue of liberty or uncle sam costume to wave you in. One of those, preferably sitting on your bike. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 01/16/11 at 14:14:39 I stopped by one today. This dude was standing outside in the drizzle with a statue of liberty outfit and poncho. I said I hoped they were paying him pretty good for standing out in the rain all day. He said meh! Not too bad.. There may be a "message" in this photo, or at least a good caption for it, but I can't think of what it is. http://i52.tinypic.com/2gspl5i.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 01/25/11 at 12:53:43 Hmmm.. that could be a winner. I don't remember hearing of anyone else tearing down that far. I should put the caveat on that it must be running by spring in order to win, but how would I know?? :-? OK.. I declare a WIN by MotoBuddha! You win the opportunity to rack your brains to try and figure out something that everyone but Paladin can get a picture of while not being obvious about it. .. oh, did I say that out loud? :-[ He's just too good.. or just has way too much time on his hands! :D So, what do we look for now Sir?? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MotoBuddha on 01/25/11 at 13:16:05 How about evidence of a critter other than single-celled animals or insects living in your motorcycle? Mammals, reptiles, birds, fish... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by John_D FSO on 01/25/11 at 23:31:39 Dagnabit, if I hadn't washed my bike today, I'd have had a shot. The dead bugs on my toolbox cover from this last fall had mold growing on them. I kid you not, fuzzy mold! ;D Gotta love the soggy winters up here. :P Oh, wait; are those single celled? Doesn't matter, they're gone now anyway. ::) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by kimchris1 on 01/26/11 at 09:06:05 Let me get this straight. The critter, critters has to be or had to have been living inside the bike? Not just sitting on top or beside? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MotoBuddha on 01/26/11 at 09:56:14 Yup, like if your bike sat all winter and a mouse made a nest on top of the engine. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 02/10/11 at 16:48:14 Some sort of animal residing in, sitting on, or at least in the same shot as your bike. I used to have a cat that would love to get up on the seat. But my current cat is too much of a fatty-fat to jump up there. Sure, he could be hoisted up, udders spread over the seat and beer bottle tucked under his arm, but that would just be unethical. :D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 03/14/11 at 13:12:27 Alright, I think I have 2 daffodils bloomed now. Rode a bit yesterday, and totally forgot about the Hunt, (yes, shame on me!)

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 04/01/11 at 07:25:29 Is Chinese, a Cantonese is a style of food. I want Cantonese, not Hunan or Szechuan or Mandarin or ??[/quote] exactly Hunan - Szechuan are the only ones around here..... Restaurant types Typically in the afternoon, dim sum are served during yum cha hour. A few Cantonese dishes may be available. In the evening, various Chinese banquets of Cantonese cuisine are held in the restaurant. There are two main types of Cantonese restaurant. chaa lau, literally tea house, is a place serving only tea and dim sum. jau lau, literally wine house, is a place serving banquets. From the early 20th century, jau lau started providing tea and dim sum like cha lau. Thus only a few chaa lau remain in business. Others. Seafood jau ga, are restaurants that specialize in seafood dishes. Business Nearly all the Cantonese restaurants provide yum cha, dim sum, dishes, and banquets with their business varying between the hour of the day. Some restaurants try to stand out by becoming more specialised (focusing on hot pot dishes or seafood, for example), while others offer dishes from other Chinese cuisines such as Szechuan, Shanghai, Fujian (Teochew cooking, a regional variation of Guangzhou is similar to that of Fujian), Hakka, and many others. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Yonuh Adisi FSO on 04/25/11 at 10:55:13 Okay, its Monday and still no BBQ pic so I will pick something else. How about a pic of your bike next to a squid bike whose rider is dressed in shorts and flip flops. But if a BBQ pic shows up first that will be the winner, bonus points if you get the squid bike at a bbq. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Southpaw on 05/18/11 at 14:42:04 This shouldn't be too hard, but I hope, interesting enough to get people going. Around these parts its Graduation Week at the schools. How about pics of congrats signs? The big ones in front of high schools, the "thank God he made it" signs in front of peoples lawns, or your kid/spouse/whoever you're proud of in cap and gown in front of your bike. Lets see what "school spirit" ya got out there! (I'll check in from time to time, but I'm taking off Sunday to go fishing for a few days with my youngest son...the new high school graduate!) ;) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 05/19/11 at 13:06:42 There's a body shop down the street from me that has a board they usually put local Happy Birthday wishes and Congrats and stuff on. I need to look at it. I bet it is saying something about Graduation. Will be an easy pic if I remember to look over at it! And of course, if we get some riding weather any time soon.... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 06/01/11 at 16:46:45 Well, it was such a beautiful day, I just had to ride around for a while before coming home. Sunny, 95 degrees. Figured I might as well take some pics. First stop was the Army Recruiting office: I even talked to some of the guys and told them what I was doing. Should have gotten a picture with them, dangit! http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/WP_000821.jpg Then the local American Legion Hall: http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/WP_000822.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/WP_000823.jpg And the Howitzer that sits outside the Legion http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/WP_000827.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/WP_000825.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/WP_000828.jpg http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx211/babyhog/Scavenger%20Hunt/WP_000829.jpg |

I was there for a BMW national rally a few years ago. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Bike%20Sushi/DSC00570.jpg Same location. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Bike%20Sushi/DSC01262.jpg This one's in Vancouver (or maybe in Victoria on Vancouver Island). In any case, it's a memorial for the Canadians who fought against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. |

|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 06/13/11 at 10:58:17 Better Google it again. Although it's often found on top of a dome it doesn't have to be. And while it may be domed itself it doesn't have to be. |

I don't turn the corner to get the front and didn't have time to do so yesterday. I thought of it as soon as I Googled cupola. But you know, I "think" its a city building, I'm not even sure what is in it... Ok. Next... Any establishment with a day of the week in the name. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 06/15/11 at 07:58:40 yep that will work - I was going to give it 2 days and modify the proctologist sign/ad (could be an ad in the yellow pages even) to anything that gives you a pain in the posterior.....so work with that for now. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 06/16/11 at 11:10:13 ok the proctologist sign/ad is not panning out - anything that gives you a pain in the posterior...traffic, mother in law, annoying neighbor/spouse/dog/cat, whatever gripes you. >:( |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 06/16/11 at 14:41:33 Having a bike next to a Pain-in-the-Butt is not a problem. This would have be be a contest of who or what is the biggest Pain-in-the-Butt. For my contestant: a Pair of Jack Russells: http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Pain-in-the-Butt.jpg Violet in the back, has chewed carpet, swallowed, got it blocked and required surgery. We no longer have carpets. Violet got a foxtail in her eye. To verify, she did the second eye as well. Not surgery, but . . . . Sandy like being dirty. If you are not watching her see when on a walk she will roll in another dog's poop. In Google, "Jack Russell Trouble" quotes to get that specific phrase, pulls 974 results. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 08/11/11 at 08:20:56 Well, since you pointed out that you have so many choices, you better find me something specific. ;) << Cheers bar would be an awesome choice! >> |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 08/11/11 at 10:23:42 Cheers would be the tourist choice. Here's a much cooler bar. Doyle's in Jamaica Plain. I think it's pretty famous. There was a scene from Mystic River filmed here even though it's nowhere near South Boston, where Mystic River took place. This is also the bar where the teachers from Boston Public met and drank after hours. http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/doyles.jpg From Wikipedia, in case no one remembers: Boston Public is an American drama television series created by David E. Kelley and broadcast on Fox. It centered on Winslow High School, a fictional public high school located in Boston, Massachusetts. The show was named for the real public school district in which it takes place. It featured a large ensemble cast and focused on the work and private lives of the various teachers, students, and administrators at the school. It aired from October 2000 to January 2004. Its slogan was "Every day is a fight. For respect. For dignity. For sanity."[ I thought there was a guy looking out the window until I realized it's my reflection. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 08/11/11 at 11:29:10 Gotta love more pics of jef's bike! I do remember Boston Public, but don't think I watched much of it. Loved Ally McBeal... and Spenser, oh yea! Robert Urich was hot! Ok, your turn.... |

Good pics means, better than these crappy cell pics I'm submitting ;D |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 09/28/11 at 08:31:42 YEAH!! Thank you EJID! I was thinking it was time to tell werace to pic something else! Fall colored leaves should bring some pretty pics... and easy enough! ;) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 09/28/11 at 08:37:46 i gots me a new camera! - no more crappy pix from me, hopefully. it will be a bout 2 more weeks around here before there is any color in the leaves - I bet WVA leaves turn color sooner right BH? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Fish on 09/28/11 at 08:43:44 Well seeing as how I'm in Florida and it's still in the 90s, I won't be seeing any color changing anything for quite some time. Dang. |

I paid attention while I was out at lunch, there are a few species that are starting to turn. Mostly still green though, but it won't be too long. Saw one really pretty half green/half red tree not far from my house. Thinking its maple, but not positive. Might get to ride the bike down to it later.... *** This is one particular hunt that I hope people continue to post pics, even after the first person posts. I personally love fall foliage! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 10/06/11 at 16:31:57 Finally! I got to go for an evening ride! Notice the hillside across the river, some yellow and orange getting thrown in.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 10/18/11 at 07:10:44 thanks - i hated posting those crappy pics before - it was a free camera bought with my delta sky miles points - the new Sanyo was $80 @ Wally World.....well worth the price since i can use it at work to document safety violations and now everyone can actually see what the problems are.....and you can read the sign in these new pics....I love it. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mpescatori on 11/01/11 at 11:55:35 I'm currently in Tblisi, Georgia (no, not "Georgia south of South Carolina", Georgia as in "borderig with Armenia") This is how you write "TBLISI, GEORGIA" in Georgian [ch4322][ch4305][ch4314][ch4312][ch4321][ch4312] [ch4306][ch4308][ch4317][ch4320][ch4306][ch4312][ch4304] Apparently it is one of the OLDEST alphabets which still survve in their original guise. Well, here I am, it's evening, and what d I see ? :o The Eiffel Tower? So "ME TAKE'UM PICTURE" but then I realize my camera is a Sony (Memorystick) and my netbook will only read SD cards... :P :-[ OK, so I spent the last 15 minutes or so struggling with "google.ge" which appear on my screen (with the georgian lettering :D) anytime I try Goolgle.com... The I finally find what I took a picture of, even though I'm actually showing you pics off the internet... http://360cities.s3.amazonaws.com/pano/iliazakaraia/00340676_bombora2-jpg/equirect_crop/4.jpg Now, a very opinable opinion has it that Georgia and Armenia are in Asia... very opinable because they are Christina since the earliest of times, Greek or Byzantine in culture and most certainly Western in culture... eve though Gegraphy has them east of Turkey... So, I have provided a little intermezzo in this contest, waiting for Jef.Savage to show us what he found... ;) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 11/03/11 at 11:19:11 Thanks for the patience. I planned on getting this last week but was stopped by an unseasonal snowfall. http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/Madonnabike.jpg Crafted in 1954 by Jewish sculptor Arrigo Minerbi, the Madonna Shrine also boasts a series of artistic ceramic-tile stations recounting the story of the Immaculate Conception. The statue, which was recently cleaned after years of exposure to the elements, is an exact replica of the six-ton landmark overlooking Monetemario hill in Rome. In fact, Minerbi first designed the Boston-area figure as a gift of thanks to Italy’s Don Orione fathers for offering him refuge during the Nazi holocaust. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 11/03/11 at 11:26:37 looks good to me!.. I keep thinking about getting me one of those Rocket III machines. Probably end up hurting myself though.. What's next? |

And it doesn't have big old smoke stacks. Just small ones for steam from the kettles. It does however, make delicious beer. There is a traditional factory with smokestacks further south of me, I just haven't gone by there recently. If this does pass the mustard, the next picture will be: A really tall radio broadcasting antenna. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 11/09/11 at 18:20:30 I like the brewery but I don't think we can call those smoke stacks. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 11/10/11 at 05:31:54 we used to have lots of mills/factories around here with smoke stacks - most are long gone - there might one left I will have to go see if it is still there over the weekend. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by John_D FSO on 12/13/11 at 07:11:58 Do displays of lights count? If so, there's a reasonable one down the road from me. Problem is, it gets cold pretty fast after the sun hits the horizon lately. Went riding around town last week, and by the time I made it home around 6pm, it was 37°. :P |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 12/13/11 at 09:04:33 at this point i'd take just about anything - p.s. I ride everyday @ 30-35F - 5 miles one way though!.....in January the mornings will be in the upper 20's highs in the upper 30's - still riding everyday that is it not wet/frozen...... :) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by John_D FSO on 12/13/11 at 16:52:02 The biggest problem with riding in low temps around here, is that fact that the roads are rarely dry most of the winter (Northwest rain!), so ice becomes a problem. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 12/20/11 at 12:43:40 Your motorcycle, with a sign (official) that says it (a motorycle) shouldn't be there. (Something to the effect of "No Motorcycles") Like.. this. http://p1.bikepics.com/2011%5C10%5C23%5Cbikepics-2291757-800.jpg The sign is "official", but kind of illegal, as a warning sign shouldn't make a regulatory statement. And.. yes, it was slippery. Went over it 4 times to be sure! ::) http://p1.bikepics.com/2011%5C10%5C23%5Cbikepics-2291755-800.jpg Good luck!! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 01/24/12 at 05:39:00 ok considering it is not riding season for most of us lets see who is willing to show us why they cant ride......snow piled up in front of the garage - thermometer showing it is too cold - whatever it is that is keeping you from riding show us what it is....bike in picture extra credit, not strictly required this time. |

sorry I haven't checked in for a while, dang work... lol but I can do this one. Garage is full to the brim and bike is under a big ole tarp, even when the days have been warm enough, I haven't taken the time to clear a path to get the bike out. Will try to get a pic... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by SuperSavage on 02/07/12 at 21:24:14 EJID, gotta luv the "Red Baron"... BTW, what tach do you have on your bike, and does it work correctly... Now back to your regularly scheduled thread... :P |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone?

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 02/17/12 at 09:36:06 kind of reminds me of a crime scene with the tarp pulled back to i.d. the victim......how do we know that is the BH bike based on the tire? - is there any DNA proof?...just kidding BH - thanks for moving the hunt along. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 02/24/12 at 07:29:28 Dug her out from under the tarp yesterday, she fired up on the 2nd try. Not bad for sitting covered for 2 months. Took her for a spin, rode like a dream.... Wheeeeeeeee Update for the scavenger hunt... somebody take a pic of your bike in front of anything of your choice.... ;) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 03/15/12 at 12:13:02 no propeller takers?....ok how about a sign with your first or last name on it, with bike in pic of course. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 03/15/12 at 17:24:56 It seems there is a conspiracy against streets named Boule'tard, so my real name will have to do.. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 03/15/12 at 17:26:06 Note the last challenge, a fan powered whippy whoo-ha dude is there with the bike parked in the exact same spot! :D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 03/15/12 at 17:29:02 Next challenge, the challenge of your choice with YOUR bike parked in the same spot where you can see YOUR name on a street sign. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 03/25/12 at 07:34:31 Nobody is finding their name on a street sign.. how about any prior challenge in the picture with the next challenge. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Boule’tard on 04/09/12 at 12:25:57 Maybe the scavenger hunt has run its course. Leave it pinned to the top, or let it drop off? In either case, it sure has had a good run. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 04/09/12 at 18:48:38 i say leave it - just getting good for riding a lot of places.....I look forward to it - wifey hates it - "i got to go win"....followed by "idiot!" |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 04/10/12 at 08:03:18 TTT for those who want to find this. I am giving others a chance on this one. Hope we get some hew hunters this riding season. 69647E676E7F6A796F0B0 wrote:

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 04/11/12 at 07:37:16 I agree, keep it for a while, and see if we get more joiners once riding season is in more full swing. I rode for a couple of weeks, now it has been cold for a couple of weeks. If we don't get much activity by mid-summer, then we can un-sticky it. << sniff, sniff... >> :( ** Oh, and I finally updated the list on Page 1. Sorry, I've been lazy... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 04/13/12 at 08:46:55 well - i said i would be on it this weekend - and i might but it will be my last hunt as a savage rider - bought an 03 Shadow picking it up Monday. I would love to continue to hunt as long as no one minds if the bike in the picture is not a Savage. http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt303/balm426/Bike%20Sales/DSC_1178.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 04/15/12 at 19:10:54 Pretty pic youzguyz, I would count that as something "cowboy"?? But then what's the new challenge? Find a nice stone wall or elaborate entryway? Was looking at the old list, I hope we get some new players this season. A few names on the list don't seem to join us anymore. What happened to Paladin? And doc? And several others. I finally went for a nice ride with Hubby this evening. Was so happy to be riding, didn't even stop for pics lol |

Maybe now that the weather has broke, kinda. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mpescatori on 04/26/12 at 07:38:11 Ditto that. I ride out for work at 7 a.m., in the kind of strangling traffic that requires 45 minutes for me to ride the 12Km (=8 miles) to work. In the afternoon it's even worse. :( Not that one can whip out the camera while commuting "Oh, look! A pink elephant!" On weekends one often does not haver the time to go out "treasure hunting"... The pics I posted on my Savage and the sign with city limits was one rare, lucky break,. I may get one every once in a while, but... I would like to suggest that "Stuff" to go look for be posted early every Monday, and if there's nothing posted by Friday or Saturday, let's just accept the fact that it was either too hard or unlikely to be found, and let's go on to a new item to look for. Were it for me, I'd like to suggest ... an angel (how does that sound?) Possibly a statue of an angel NOT in a cemetery. OR If the item to look for is gates, BIG Majestic pearly gates, not just a fence with an entrance in it. 8-) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mpescatori on 04/30/12 at 01:35:54 OkeyDokey ! Your bike AND an old classic bike (MUST have a front drum brake and at least 350cc if a single, or 500cc if a twin) Extra credit if the rider is outfitted with classic gear (1950's helmet, gauntlet gloves and goggles) 8-) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 05/19/12 at 08:55:29 I forgot about this while I was there or I could have gotten a more specific picture. Red bike in center is my Triumph. There was a Vincent parked on the right end but I don't see it here, it must have left. Still the bike on the far right probably qualifies. I think it's a Java. Definitely a front drum brake. http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/PANO_20120517_180453.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mpescatori on 05/20/12 at 10:57:32 I saved and magnified the pic to the best I could do, but other than a plethora of V-twins, Jeff's Triumph and a Suzuki RG-Gamma (the light blue cafe racer with full fairing) I could not see anything that looked like a 2-stroke, much less with a drum brake. Pity, it must have been cropped out by mistake. Nice roundup pic, Jeff, your call !!! 8-) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Serowbot on 05/20/12 at 11:55:34 I do,.. I see it... bike farthest to the right... red w/ chrome tank. Looks 60's... maybe Jawa... twin... ;)... Jef's got the next call?... :-?... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 05/21/12 at 20:29:26 Well since I just picked up a new Fiat 500 I want to see a picture of your bike with a Fiat 500. Unless you live in Italy, that would be too easy. So if you're in Italy I'll accept a picture of your bike with a rear engined Fiat. If you go to a dealership for this pic be sure to get it with your favorite color. Mine is Azzurro. http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y343/jefscoville/Fiat1.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mpescatori on 05/23/12 at 23:29:59 Jeff, you actually bought the car ? Kudos to you, man, you'll be smiling yopur ears off in tight and twisty roads ! I had read FIAT had decided to pull the 500 from the US market because of a lukewarm response from the dealerships... What engine has it got ? Here you can have the 1200cc in 60 and 75Hp guise, or the 1400cc in 84 and 100HP guise... ...or the ABARTH SS from 135 to 170HP versions... :o :D http://www.abarthlondon.com/_assets/445x413/500-esseesse-2.jpghttp://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR09GZCqIfNjTznJVR4bAiG9Me5GcsjX36G14myY7ehaWIZKbgVaRHEmj7zSw Youtube is blocked from the office so enjoy this from Dailymotion (Media is blocked here too but I can at least see the preview thumbnail...)

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by jef.savage on 05/24/12 at 08:12:17 Yes, that's my car in the pic. American 500's come with 1.4L "Multiair" engines that produce 101 hp. The only exception is the Abarth which has a turbocharged version of the same engine rated at 160 hp. I drove an Abarth and was disappointed and so went with a "Sport" model. I'm lovin' it. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by drharveys on 05/28/12 at 16:20:11 Sorry I'm late with this one, but Mrs Doc has been helping her mother go to a better place -- specifically one where she's now getting the monitoring of her diet and diabetes that she needs at age 92! Here's my California Triumph next to the non-retro version -- note that the engine is darned near identical! http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/California%20Bike/DSCF3178.jpg Now, if you can look way down the line, you will see this guy at the other end: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/California%20Bike/DSCF3177.jpg That was at one of the UCLA bike parking areas. I was able to take Mrs Doc away from her filial duties long enough for a visit back to her old college, and a little canyon carving http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/California%20Bike/DSCF3179.jpg Look close: you can see the story of the ride on the rear tire! The freeway portion, the canyon portion, and just enough chicken strip for two up travel on a public highway! http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/California%20Bike/DSCF3106.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by weracerc on 07/31/12 at 09:26:26 i have not forgotten the hunt - the bike has been down for fuel system restoration - it will be back on the road by 8-6 and I will be back hunting again. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by prechermike on 08/01/12 at 04:03:08 Before school got out (my wife is an aid and kids are in school) I was going to take a day and go find the 4 or 5 things that were not found in the list. Things kept being a little too busy to go and when the summer arrived, my schedule exploded or consumned me or something. I have done plenty of riding, just all to the hospital or some other not so fun place. Maybe when school starts back (and they are all gone again) I will find a day just to myself. Nah, I doubt it. But I can dream, can't I. I do kind of miss the search. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 08/01/12 at 14:58:49 I miss it too, we have not had good riding weather, either too hot or wet. But tomorrow is another day... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by John_D FSO on 08/01/12 at 16:31:20 I haven't seen hardly any of the new model cars around here, and when i do, I'm in my cage with no camera, so two strikes there! :P And when I am out riding, I forget all about what I'm supposed to be looking for, and just take pics of whatever strikes my fancy! :D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 11/08/12 at 18:17:12 So glad to see the Hunt revived! I wish it wasn't too cold for me to ride. But I'm hoping for a warm day this weekend. Blinky... what's next? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Blinky on 11/08/12 at 18:50:08 Hmmm. Given the time of year and since it may be too cold for some riders, get out the leaf rake or blower and take a picture of your bike in front of the pile. For those of you in warmer climates, you are more than welcome to come rake all the leaves in my yard. I will leave them for you as a courtesy. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by splash07 on 11/26/12 at 06:45:23 Not fair, there should be an alternative for those of us who live where the trees dont drop their leaves. >:( |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Blinky on 11/26/12 at 07:14:57 Good point Splash, Let's do this. The leaves are still in play but if you live in an area where this is not possible, let's add an optional item. I believe the beginning rider course offered by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation is the single best investment in safety anyone can make. So, take a picture of your bike at or on the training range or in front of the building of the local MSF facility. If you are not in the US, what passes for the MSF in your country is acceptable. Below is a picture of my favorite tree, the red maple. I noticed none of you showed up to help me rake. Good hunting http://p1.bikepics.com/2012%5C11%5C26%5Cbikepics-2483407-full.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Blinky on 01/17/13 at 18:35:13 Ok folks, nobody found a pile of leaves or a MSF training range so lets keep this going and find something else. It is winter where I live so put on your long johns, take a wee nip of the good stuff that keeps you warm, pull the choke out to the second stop and take a picture of your bike with one of those roadside time and temperature signs in the background showing the temperature. Good hunting |

The drive is a one-way one-lane road with a 15 mph speed limit. It is a water ecological reserve, such as are all around the country/world for wild critters can be saved. Can you find one in your area? http://www.savageriders.com/babyhog/Ecological-2.jpg |

There is a 73,381 pound bell about a mile from my office....that until recently was the largest free swinging bell in the world.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 05/09/13 at 06:07:38 The plan is for Saturday afternoon! We are supposed to have rain for the next few days, then in the afternoon on Saturday it will clear up. This will be a great "maiden voyage" for the reconfigured bike. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 05/12/13 at 06:55:28 This is the first time I have been in the Scavenger Hunt Thread....so this may have already been done. But I recently saw a show on PBS that featured theme shaped buildings. The wooden shoe, one shaped like a goose, the Ketchup Bottle water tower, a clam diner that was shaped like a cardboard carryout box. How about a "theme" shaped building? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by babyhog on 08/27/13 at 09:35:48 Ok, ok.... I'll be nice, and do an easy one, just to see if anyone wants to play. Show me an old industrial building, warehouse, plant, or similar that is no longer in business... desserted.... I'm talking BIG, not just a closed up storefront. I just started working in a factory that used to employ over 600 people, now we have less than 50, and will go to about half that around the end of the year. (see Dave, I can behave...) ;) |

Heck, 80% of the Navy base is abandoned since the Blue Angels moved... ooh, that would be a fun one for later, your bike with a Blue Angels jet... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by 23Skidoo on 04/17/14 at 13:06:45 I nearly got run over by a bus taking the picture :-) OK so being a Limey and as I declare it's my go.. The next challenge it to take a pic next to something British that's not to obvious.. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by old_rider on 05/10/14 at 10:33:18 Ok, its been a LONG time from the last post.... we don't have anything "british" in this area, so i'm stuck. Never been to the UK so i'm not sure what would qualify as british. How long before we have to recall for a different post? Want to keep this thread alive this summer. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 05/10/14 at 16:53:30 Have about Polish? Or any from Eastern Europe -- Poles, Slavs, Slovs, Serbs, Czech, Bulgans, etc.. Let's see your bike near something with something saying one of those countries. |

The only Pole I know of in this neighborhood is in front of our office and the flag is flying from it! This one might have to come from an area with more cultural diversity. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by old_rider on 05/13/14 at 09:08:06 If we lived in a bigger city maybe... like new York or Chicago....but small rural areas got Chinese, Italian and thai.... maybe a pub or two in the bigger cities.... I live near an Air Force base and Naval Base.... so we have Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai food places out the wahoo (our local baseball team name)... and a couple of Irish themed sports bars... You can leave it as it is....i'm sure one of our folks from a bigger city or another country will jump in and save us backwood folks! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 05/13/14 at 09:44:56 Well.....I might be able to find something German or French in the area. But I aint' gonna stradle this bike with any leiderhosen on! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by prechermike on 05/29/14 at 04:48:25 This is about as French as it gets in eastern North Carolina. Since we just passed Memorial Day how about a picture of a memorial to veterans who gave their lives for our freedom. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by gizzo on 05/29/14 at 22:33:32 Here ya go. It's a memorial to Aussie fallen soldiers from the Great War. Most country towns in Australia have one to remember their lads. This one is in Norton Summit (what a great name !) . Next challenge: your savage with a police bike (not WD's made up one ). |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 05/31/14 at 10:19:13 Here ya go.. and a message to boot, and a pretty girl to make the look even better. http://p1.bikepics.com/2014/05/31/bikepics-2672656-800.jpg She could have smiled.. Go and seek... fine me domestic livestock .. or wild animal.. Of course, you need to have a picture of your bike in the picture. And to make it interesting. No fence or other animal limiting boundary between the bike and the critter. May have to back down on that last part if nobody can pull it off. It would be NICE if it wasn't YOUR critter.. just a chance encounter. |

OH.. and I now officially waive the requirement of "no fence, no boundary", and I guess I will waive the need of having a picture of the bike in the picture. So.. NEW task. A critter ON your motorcycle. The critter must at LEAST be alive. It can be your critter, someone else's critter, it can be held down by a second, (third, fourth, however many it takes) party. Extra points for a wild critter .. or a trained bear. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by prechermike on 06/10/14 at 17:17:03 Here is a picure of a wild animal (me! I don't think that counts), my bike and some bees. These are definitely the wilder or more aggressive of the two hives I have. I've had this hive in my backyard since last summer and on Memorial Day harvested a little over 16 pounds of honey. Notice there is no fence between us! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Paladin. on 07/14/14 at 10:37:16 Does it have to be a State prison, or can it be a local jail? My nearest State Prison is 85 miles north. My local jail is in the police station, but has no sign outside. Most places don't hold enough people to have a separate jail, closest city with a separate jail would be downtown L.A., about 16 miles north. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by gizzo on 07/14/14 at 16:47:25 It can be a state prison,local lockup, girls reformatory, stage set ,playground or unused historical jail. The local cop shop with cells indoor ,not so much. C'mon, it's a nice day for a ride. Good luck. |

Just got back home from my test ride after changing the petcock to a Raptor model. It sure is nice having a bike not sputtering and failing multiple times because of vacuum issues, which started after I removed the tank to do the oil plug issue.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by KennyG on 10/26/15 at 13:45:49 I think posting a pic of a jackass or a donkey or a mule should be the next thing to hunt. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 10/29/15 at 20:13:22 I took my tablet for a bike ride today. Sure enough I foundapair of donkeys who posed with my bike . But I'm still low in the learning curve in "the ways of Tabletry". HELP :-/ |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by KennyG on 10/29/15 at 20:22:19 MM, I had my camera with me today and couldn't find a jackass in any of the meadows I went past on my ride. You will have to get someone a whole lot younger than me to explain how pics on a tablet work ......LOL Kenny G |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 10/29/15 at 21:39:48 and the hunt goes on ! That was a good one Kenny ! ;) OK ! Emailed it to my self from tablet opened mail as web page Downloaded as jpeg saved as jpeg then added to "Choose File" ;) seems like ther should be a simpler way ... been expermenting with "Drop Box" ???? :-X :) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 10/30/15 at 23:45:23 next challenge picture of your bike under a front-end loader ;D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by KennyG on 10/31/15 at 06:45:33 MM, You found a couple of jackasses that would hold still for a picture...LOL. Parking under a front end loader can be a little dangerous but I am going to look for one. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 11/01/15 at 06:28:12 It might surprise ya how many farmers and ranchers are also bike riders : ;) Maybe a tractor dealership with a raised frontend loader already in the air ? :-? What about "Any kind of loader !" 8-) Good luck and be safe [ch128512] |

Shows your support of our veterans (Picture take at American Legion Post 593 this morning. Rode with them to do a Veterans Day presentation for an elementary school) This will (hopefully) be an easy one!!! :D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by KennyG on 11/21/15 at 21:08:44 MM, It is a Buell Blast. It has half of a Sportster engine and mid control pegs, brake and gear shift. It is a fun bike to ride and I have owned it for several years. You see Miss Ellen on the Blast I can assure you that never starts the engine without the proper attire and helmet. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 05/09/16 at 07:33:18 Well - for me the country side is easy, as I live in a farming community. The sunny day is going to take me a while - the forecast is for rain until Friday (4 days of rain)! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by prechermike on 05/09/16 at 15:12:32 Does the marsh count as countryside? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by prechermike on 05/09/16 at 15:13:21 Or had you rather have a cornfield? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by prechermike on 05/09/16 at 15:17:14 For the next challenge, how about a bird place, place with a bird in the name. I live in Hyde county, eastern part of NC. The area is 1424 sq miles, of which over half is water. That makes Hyde the 2nd largest county in the state. The population is 5810, making it the second smallest in the state. As you can imagine, agriculture and commercial fishing are the main jobs around here. It is a great place to call home. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 05/18/16 at 10:40:03 I believe we are looking for a tunnel to photograph your bike with. We have a railroad tunnel in the area.....if you all don't get busy and get a tunnel photograph - I might be able to do it on the next sunny day that I don't have to mow wet grass! |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mpescatori on 05/19/16 at 06:05:04 You mean ... - find a road with a tunnel - park the bike at the entrance to the tunnel - take a picture of the bike being mowed down by a speeding semi - run towards the wreck (or what's left of it) and get mowed down by a speeding soccer mom - take a picture of what's left of you - post on the Savanger Hunt before anybody else...

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 05/19/16 at 06:28:43 Or....you could park the bike just a bit to the side of the tunnel. Just try to get them close enough that they are both in the photo. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by stewmills on 05/19/16 at 06:32:27 Booooo. Wish I saw this while I was in the mountains last weekend. We don't have tunnels here in central AL, but I might have to see what I can conjure up if I ride to work tomorrow. Does photoshop count? ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 05/29/16 at 16:21:50 I was able to sneak in an afternoon ride today.....and I went by a tunnel. In fact.....I got a "double shot"! http://i64.tinypic.com/2uyj1qu.jpg Now since you all made me risk my life to get this shot, and since I had to scramble to get my bike out from between the tracks when I heard a train coming - the next challenge is to get a photo of your bike with a train! (I had my bike between the tracks, my helmet sitting beside the track, and my jacket hanging on the weight for the crossing arm. I heard a train whistle, quickl pushed my bike over to the side of the tracks beyond the gate, went back and grabbed my helmet, and by the time I got to my jacket the gate was coming down and I had to jump up to get my jacket off the weight that was soon going to be out of my reach!) http://i64.tinypic.com/2hdbif9.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by KennyG on 05/29/16 at 17:26:53 Dave, I doubt that there is a tunnel in Texas.... Trains are pretty easy to find in Texas, if the rain stops long enough I will get pics. Kenny G |

I rode a ~40 mile loop at lunch (a little warm in AL but a good day to get some fresh air) knowing where there were at last 2 feed stores out in the county, and to no avail both of them had Nutrena signs. No Purina. I get at least 66% credit because the last two syllables sound the same, it's just the first syllable that screws it up. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by KennyG on 06/11/16 at 11:12:18 I am back to The Purina Chows Sign. I will get to the football stadium next week, I got caught in the rain right after finding the feed store. This pic is definitely the Purina logo but doesn't say "Chows" on the sign.

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by KennyG on 06/11/16 at 21:03:31 Stew, I am pretty sure that the sign in the pic did say Purina Chows at one time in the past. I will try get to the football stadium the next day that it is not raining..... Kenny G |

No, that's Europe. Our football is called Australian Rules (Aussie Rules). Our universities (colleges) play all kinds of sports socially but like mpescatori said, uni is about getting the education and having pub crawls. so no football sponsorships or great big productions like you guys have. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by KennyG on 06/20/16 at 14:57:32 The only pig I know doesn't like motorcycles. LOL We don't raise pigs out in the open down here in Texas it is too hot.

I would like to raise my own spare parts. Kenny G |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 06/21/16 at 10:10:15 for babyhog.......you can also use the "baby" approach. Find yourself a baby to pose with your bike (if there are no pigs in your area). Everybody loves baby photos! http://i64.tinypic.com/35k64if.jpg |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Todd James on 06/23/16 at 00:20:39 Thanks for the compliments on the pictures, guys. The pink pig (hog?) has been somewhat of an icon here in our local Ohio farm country since I was a kid. It sits in front of what was once a small piglet (hoglet?) nursery, of which now remains just a nice farmhouse and barn. I had not driven past it in years, but its distant memory came to mind as I was reading about BabyHog and Dave's photo challenge. So I got up early yesterday morning, rummaged through my daughter's old doll collection, found the spittin' image of BabyHog as a baby, fired up the Savage, told her to hang on, then we rode off in search of the pink oinker. When we found it, I knocked on the door of the farmhouse and asked the kindly elderly lady if I might take some pictures for our scavenger hunt. She was obviously a bit confused and concerned at first, thinking that I intended to ride off with her pink piggy for the scavenger hunt. After I assured her that I only wanted to take some pictures, she graciously gave me permission, saying that she was glad that she'd just given Miss Piggy a fresh coat of pink paint last week. After an exhausting photo session of BabyHog posing for glamour shots with PinkieHog we rode back home, satisfied with our efforts. I spent the rest of the day water skiing :) Hence my avatar, gizzo. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by stewmills on 07/25/16 at 06:47:54 Well, it seems we completely forgot about the Scavenger hunt and this is the only picture I think we have of our 3 bikes together. So, since we didn't get a "fun" picture for this and to make it a little challenging, would it be fair to make it a picture of your bike with another Savage bike and it has to be another suzukisavage.com forum member? Dave/MM, thoughts? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 07/28/16 at 04:11:00 Multiple savage picture and members of the forum? Too easy.

And I mean a sign that was put up by the government, not something put up by some private individual. Like.. this. (I was going to post the "U R LOST" sign, but.. ) If you don't do this, and I have to do a different challenge, it will be harder.. you are warned... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by old_rider on 07/28/16 at 13:44:12 When we was out there on a ride in texas 2 years ago, we passed a road called "savage".... but everyone went by and I was tail end charley that time, so I didn't stop, but mentioned it at our lunch break :) I will search for a "humorous" one... should be fairly easy here in florida, lotta home owners name their fancy dancy house drives as streets, and get them approved if there are other houses on it (usually are because they build appt. type mother -in-law rentals). |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by old_rider on 07/28/16 at 14:42:09 It WAS two years ago, and I sometimes can remember what I had for breakfast if you ask me at lunch time :) I believe it was the same day as when we went to the U R Lost road... it was by a suburb type neighborhood. We made a right off a main road, kinda did a short jaunt and turned left off of the savage road onto a state rode.... at least I "think" that was what happened :) The savage road was a one or two block one.... |

Title: Sorry for the delay... Post by mpescatori on 08/25/16 at 10:46:33 OK, sorry for the delay but things have been getting in the way... SCAVENGER HUNT CHALLENGE (THIS IS A BIG ONE!) YOUR MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT, IS "...to take a picture of a Full Patch Club member from any local MC (not necessarily a 1%er) sitting on your bike, or, to say the least, his Colors draped over your bike." "As usual, should you be caught or killed, the Suzuki Forum Secretary shall deny all knowledge of any of your actions" 8-) Tell them it's for a Charity Treasure Hunt... Mind you, you do NOT have to go up to a Hells Angel or Bandido and make him an offer which can't be refused... ... if there is a masonic Lodge in your area, I'm sure there will be Masonic Riders formed into a Club or Riding association. Masonic Motorcycle Club, http://masonicmotorcycleclub.org/ Widows Sons, http://www.widowssons.com/ You may also find Chapters of the Low Twelve and Hiram's Knights * Low Twelve meaning "midnight" as opposed to High Twelve which is midday.

Your challenge isn't much of a challenge for me. I regularly ride with Patriot Guard, and we have riders who are patched with local MCs. Lacking that, there are always some at one of my "end of ride" watering holes. The guys that have ridden the Hill Country with me know "The Shade Tree". I did not take them to another one.. "Hangin' Tree Saloon", another "biker bar". Yes.. there is such a place: http://www.hangintree.com/ Yeah.. I'll get you a picture, and if I MUST be the next selector of the challenge, you won't like it :o :D So... leave the challenge as it stands. We should not wimp out!! :D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 09/10/16 at 16:22:07 ::) I had the CMA bunch over Friday night for BBQ and started to put one of them on the Savage but ... well , it didn't seem fair to everybody else. I'm still waiting on my cam chain. The Sportster had a magnet on the flywheel slip making the flywheel out of balance. I did get my new flywheel today ! :) In all fairness , its a long story --- not totally Harley's fault . ::) |

The rules included a claws where : If a biker is eliminated from a game there is a way to "Buy back in" that gets a lot of hooting and hollering going on ! 8-) Kinda makes the games get better as they progress on . ;D we ran the water/first-aid/spiritual needs booth , I suspect I shouldn't tell to many particulars --- but I will say it was a lot of fun with some great folks .

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by mpescatori on 09/13/16 at 04:35:51 Right. Protestant MRA. "Protestant" in Italy being welcome as much as "Socialist" in the Bible Belt... Sorry, I'm telling it the way it is. And although most Protestants here are "I mind my own business Evangelicals" most people assimilate "Protestant" with - Jehova's Witness - Mormon - Gospel music with the Blues Brothers, a singing Minister but no Priest Incidentally, in Italy you will NOT find Methodist, Lutherans, Anglicans (Episcopal to you) Presbyterian, Quaker, Church of Blue-eyed Jesus who loves you from my garage but quite a few Jehova's Witnesses... BUT this is the Scavanger Hunt... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 09/17/16 at 19:13:18 Well Here is a picture of a bearded , patched , Old Biker on my Savage . If ya look close there is his front patch showing ... So we stopped for fuel and I remembered to get a photo . He's my buddy Charles from two towns north of home. Fuel was not easy to find ... seems ... something happened to the pipe line or the fuel industry is making excuses to raise our prices ? ::) either way most of the fuel stations have bags over the pumps and are out of fuel ! :P Charles is a big Boy ! 6'3-4" and 250+# he kinda dwarfs a LS650 , that is his brown wing in the background. He whips that old wing around about like I flip the Savage around ! :) |

Thank you!!!! For a while there I thought I would have to post this very tacky giant golf ball picture...[/quote] That's an awesome picture! There's a factory in my old neighborhood with a giant milk bottle for a smokestack. Next time I get over to that side of town I'm gonna snap a shot of that for this thread. Might be tough to get the bike and the bottle in that though. I'll figure it out. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 03/29/17 at 10:33:40 Philthymike: Since you accepted the challenge and found a giant mural to photograph with your bike....it is now your responsibility to find the new challenge - and take a photo of your bike with whatever the new challenge is. If you want the challenge to be a "donut Shop"....then you have to find a donut shop and take a photo of your bike at the donut shop to get it started. Until you post the new challenge......we don't know what to look for. |

See how bad my attention to detail is? Now I feel bad for not getting the entire mural in my picture. It's the entire length of the alleyway too. Ok if I must challenge then lets see here... I'm gonna go with the theme of rodentia. So a pic with a rat bike or an actual rodent of some kind. I'll have mine posted shortly |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 03/29/17 at 20:14:22 Rat-Bike I saw an Old Rat-tie Harley pull into the gas station as I pulled out today and knew I should go back to it and have a closer look ... but I was shifting into second so I went on. It looked like one of those 2.2 gal. tanks on a striped down BIG Harley , springer w/no rake front , and a trailer fender on the rear. Would have been perfect ! I'll be watching for it again . |

Sure it counts. ;D In fact any old animal will be fine. Doesn't need to be a rat. I realize rats/rodents might be hard to find in some areas. So to be fair, lets just go with any animal with bonus points if it happens to be a rodent, named after a rodent etc. Cool? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 03/30/17 at 12:01:38 The new game really doesn't start until philthymike gets his challenge photo posted! ;) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 03/30/17 at 17:42:54 P Mike The PW-50 would run way too fast for a kids bike . If I had to guess , I'd say the PW would do 35mph + . One speed , shaft drive. But the handlebars operated between my knees. ::) Post us a sample picture if ya have one . I'm ridding the bike to a 50+ mile away town tomorrow (some Super-Slab involved) , and may take the LONG-WAY home . ;) If I ride the Harley tomorrow and take a picture --- does it still count ? |

So rodents, rat bikes or other animal as is found near your location. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by stewmills on 05/31/17 at 08:32:17 Hey...sorry. I was hoping to get one last week but the darned rain set-in and I haven't had the bike out since last Friday morning...and it is scheduled to rain all week here. Might just have to some up with something around the house :( |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 05/31/17 at 08:41:54 Stew: A photo of your bike with plumbing tools? ;) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by stewmills on 05/31/17 at 12:47:58 HAHA. Good one! Might just have to do it. Actually solved that plumbing issue last night. Snaked the system (stack vent) from the roof and busted out a clog of some sort. Ran water last night for a good while throughout the house and so far today she says no sign of water. Got my $190 "limited access fee" back, but still on the hook for the $244 worth of snaking that did absolutely no good. Just another reason I do things myself and have lost faith in most of today's service industry. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by stewmills on 06/08/17 at 11:36:40 Ok...not really creative but I think it is past due time for me to get this going for you all. How about a picture of your bike from a 3rd story office window (or other 3rd story window in the event that barging into someone's office will get you jailed). MM, are there any 2+ story buildings in Lynchburg? :'( :'( :'( |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 06/08/17 at 12:03:06 I have seen some of the 3+ story buildings near MM's house.....and they are full of aging barrels of Jack Daniels! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 06/08/17 at 22:56:46 ::) Stew , :o The Bank has a third floor but its really the Shot-Gun Guard post ... I'd stand a better chance getting a picture from the top of the Old Hay barn , its more like four storys tall . I had to go up there once to repair some wind damage --- it took 16' ladder to get to the first level then a walk up an incline then a 24' ladder to reach the peak . I didn't enjoy being up that high without a floor to stand on so I might look around town again ... ;D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by stewmills on 09/12/17 at 09:38:26 Well, since I posted the last challenge and MM failed to perform, I'm taking it back and resubmitting another challenge. Your bike with another vehicle (motorcycle, car, truck etc.) from a TV show or movie. This is sort of an "Andy Griffith" police car. No, I didn't check serial numbers and confirm this isn't just a replica versus a true TV car, but it's just a game so we're allowing some leniency here. ;) Go forth and conquer! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 09/30/17 at 14:40:28 OK , Stew ... What TV show do you remember this truck from ??? ::) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 04/25/18 at 10:16:02 Bump......time to get this thread active again. The current challenge is a photo of your bike with a Rat Bike. The process is: 1) Find a Rat Bike, and post a photo of your bike with it. 2) Establish a new challenge....and post a photo of your bike with it. So...go find a rat bike to photo. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Serowbot on 10/29/19 at 15:02:00 Dang'it!... Finally found a rat bike,... was with my ridin' buddy and a biker friend visiting from Colorado,... we were looking at an acre property owned by a biker and tattoo artist that builds custom bikes... the property had a 1,000sq.ft bike fabrication shop complete with a tattoo booth... ... and we were in a rental car... .... but,.. here's a pic of the rat anyway... It's a Shadow 750,... with 150,000 miles. The guy has ridden from Alaska down to Cape Horn on it. My buddy was supposed to rent a bike today, and we were going to group ride but rental fell through. DANG'IT!... So close!... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Serowbot on 10/29/19 at 15:03:17 ..another pic... Maybe it's not a rat... just well used... |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by verslagen1 on 10/29/19 at 15:55:49 How is that a rat bike? It still has all it's original parts! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 10/29/19 at 17:45:58 That is a Ratty Bike....not a Rat bike. Still...in the interest of getting this thread going again, I am not very picky and willing to accept anything. The Scavenger Hunt was fun......unfortunately folks stopped playing. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 10/29/19 at 21:45:02 So ??? We're looking for a bike owned by a RAT , or alt least appears to be owned by a RAT. and/or a bike being treated like a RAT. I like a Rattie Scavenger Hunt ! ;) This Cold snap might make it slow going but Its a good winter game to play. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Serowbot on 11/01/19 at 10:29:40 Alright,.. that may be as close as we're going to get to a rat bike,... let's have a new challenge... Can anyone find me a motorcycle specific street sign?... Here's one on the Sonoita Hwy south of Tucson... Dave may remember the twisties out there. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 12/23/19 at 02:17:19 Something that should be .. not too hard? Your motorcycle with a depiction of something (or the actual something) that existed in the years B.C. Or at least is associated with pre-historic times. (Just trying to avoid somebody posting a picture of a mountain or some other natural land mark..). Get creative. You got a Sinclair Dino somewhere close? That will do. A mural of an early Indian settlement.. Fine. As I know.. you probably can't match this! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 12/28/19 at 18:04:26 I just caught wind of some Indian caves that date back to B.C. in the north Alabama area I hope to go check-out Monday or Tuesday ??? ::) If the weather gets nice then it would be a good day ride . :) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 12/30/19 at 20:58:30 I hope to go check-out Monday or Tuesday ??? Roll Eyes Well , this is Monday and it was a nice day for a ride ! So I made my way down to north Alabama and found Russell Cave . https://www.nps.gov/ruca/index.htm Apparently between 10,000 BC and 500 BC some Native Americans live in the Cave . So now , researchers are investigating to see how those folks made a living and what they did for fun ? So I visited with the ranger lady who was on duty today for a while . New material is being found all the time that helps put together information about those people . Stuff like the Drawings of a peculiar thing they referred to as "Thumper" might have been found on the walls beside the main fire area , but we may never know for sure due to the bird dropping over the years ??? Here are a few pictures I brought back home from the past with me today . I only know how to post one per post so here goes . :) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 12/30/19 at 21:00:38 some of the pictures are too big ? They had some reproduction Atlantes inside in a case . If ya'll come to Tn this summer we'll go look at them. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 12/30/19 at 21:03:02 I've got a new rear tire for this one , so the old one needs to wear out before spring plus it was an interstate ride today ... . :) |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 12/31/19 at 13:28:25 I was getting ready to bust your chops for "no motorcycle in the picture", but .. you did it!! Was that first picture showing an original cave inhabitant? Looks about old enough... ;) So.. what now MM? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 12/31/19 at 15:50:16 Yea , I started to take the Savage --- but the days are so short and so is the window of warm in the middle of the day . So for a 200 mile loop I brought a more interstate friendly machine this time. I'd like to see : A "GIANT CHICKEN" or if a Dino Size CHICKEN is not available then a "FAKE GIANT CHICKEN" would be OK , long as there is your Motorcycle in the picture ! ;D |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 01/04/20 at 16:05:03 Hey MM.. aren't you suppose to show a picture of what you are telling everyone else to look for?? I mean.. it has to exist.. right? No really sure by what you mean by "GIANT". Anything larger than a normal size chicken? I have no idea if this chicken is GIANT enough!!! :-/ However, you really need to zoom in on the sign. Never heard them referred to in that manner before.. ::) |

But , I'm glad we woke this thread up , I enjoyed my ride to the cave last week ! So , what should we look for next ? :-? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 01/05/20 at 08:20:20 I STILL think you should cough up a GIANT chicken (figuratively speaking, of course).. Shouldn't get away with that.. I would like to see something that is the largest something in some geographical area, and documented as such. Doesn't have to be anything spectacular. Do I have a picture? Sort of. https://goo.gl/maps/DYqyt7TBnjD1rZU27 That is a google map street view of the largest live oak tree in Blanco county. If you zoom in on the sign, you can see it IS documented. ::) And, I was there yesterday on my hunt for the GIANT chicken, but didn't get a picture with my bike. Go forth, and search out the largest something of somewhere so we can all be amazed. :D |

Tallest waterfall east of the Rockies ! 256 feet - not quite a football field ? :) I got a bunch of pictures but only know how to post one at a time so here goes. ::) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 01/06/20 at 18:00:48 There is an Over-Look with a guard rail but its hard to see just how long the drop is unless your looking up from the bottom . There is a trail going to the bottom and I've walked it before --- when I was younger and didn't get out of breath so quick. Even for a young man it took me 30 minutes to walk to the bottom and an hour to get back to the top. In the summer the water spray is near ice cold so on weekends folks pick-nick at the bottom a lot. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 01/06/20 at 18:18:12 I got a few more pictures on the way in . Its a big park , 20 minute drive through it if ya don't take the side trails. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone?high Post by MMRanch on 01/07/20 at 08:16:26 If I win again you can bet I won't make it so darn easy. Ha ! ;D That wasn't so darn EASY my friend !!! I thought for days then even after I had the idea about what to do , it was still a 200 mile ride there and back ! The January temps were 30F to 48F so I got out the heated gear for that one too. You might be confusing "easy" with "always looking for a ride" ? :) However I do enjoy "Just taking a ride" :) Any excuse is better than No excuse ya know ! ::) ................................... While I was out ridding about I came across a Tribute to the "Great American Indian" . I believe whoever painted this one must held them is as high regard as I do . The detail involved makes me say that. As I understand it : The American Indian men Fished / Hunted / Trapped (PLAYED) for a living and the American Indian women (Bless their Hearts) did the Real Work ! I have nothing but Respect for the bunch of Men who were able to pull that off . 8-) And they Looked good doing it too !!! If only our ancestors could of had the good sense to emulate the wisdom of those men , then I would't have such a hard time finding time to "Just go for a Ride" . So , Show me a Tribute to the "Great American Indian" ! Don't have to be statue but still a Tribute . |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 01/20/20 at 18:35:18 a result of Santa Anna’s and the other Comanche war chiefs’ willingness to stick to their word. Honor ! :) Makes me feel a little dirty to be an European American in a way ? There ain't nothing "New" in the way people act is there ? ............................................... Well , YouzGuyz it looks like me and you are bouncing this along just fine while everybody else stays warm and/or works all the time ? ;D Its really cold and/or Rainy in Tn. this time of year but we get a day or two scattered in that is ride-able , the wife works part time to keep busy while I'm hunting Scavenger items. So , What's next ? ;) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 01/21/20 at 08:41:42 I tried this one before.. I think. And it fell flat. Is there any state pride out there? Show me a picture of your bike with a state flag! Caveat. It can't be a government building or site of ANY kind. Business is OK. Private residence is preferred. Bonus if they are flying the United States and state flag. Double bonus if they are flown on separate poles. The attached picture is an odd combination of business and private land. It's a business that doesn't sell anything.. kind of. That US flag in the lower right corner is the one on the back of my bike. (barely made the picture, I was busy trying to catch the flag when it was flying) And if my sample ain't good enough for ya, I can get at least FIVE pictures of Texas state flags on any weekend ride I take. Can you DO IT? Oh.. and negative bonus, but still a winner, if it is a Texas state flag. Too darn easy. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 02/05/20 at 15:13:58 State Flag must be a rare thing ??? I'm going to start looking for one Friday when the rain lets up , the roads should be washed clean ! ;D .................................................. Anybody needing a ride this weekend ? I'm thinking of a Sunday run over to the Kats for lunch on the Skyway (Tellico Plains, Tn.) Weather Permitting that is ? Forecast is 65 and sunny ? 8-) |

You think somebody might be flying a Tennessee state flag over in that area? Only 61 here today.. and rain tomorrow. Looks like I ride today! :D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 02/08/20 at 20:25:07 Don't give up yet. My Kat's ride got bumped out , but its got to warm-up and Dry-out sometime ! ::) ................. - You can bet I'll be doing a "u-turn" to take a picture of the first State flag I come across ... unless somebody beats me to it ! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/01/20 at 22:39:45 State Flag flying in a private yard . I was really surprised at the lack of State pride. What ya think YouzGuyz , should I put another target up ? :-? |

You found one!!! Congrats! Did you see any others? Texas is a bit "over the top" in the state pride thing.. but I looked up some "state pride" rankings, and Texas is not #1 on any of them. Yes, you need to come up with something else for us to go look for! This is something we can do and still be following guidelines for "social distancing". I am prejudiced, but I believe motorcycle riding is good for you. Pack a lunch, use gloves when refueling, get out there and RIDE. Almost all of my riding is solo. I go where I want, I stop when I want (taking pictures mostly), and my route "plan" never survives for the duration of the ride. :D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/02/20 at 08:15:05 my route "plan" never survives for the duration of the ride. ;) Those are the best kind of rides ! I only found 3 Tn. State Flags ... including mine . :-[ ................................. I found some cars beside the road in a most unusual position . So , I'm wondering ... "What are some other strange uses for an old cars" ? I'm having a hard time getting a picture from my phone to my computer ... seems I need to be signed on as an Administer ? ya might have to stretch the picture a bit to see it good ? ::) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/09/20 at 15:08:34 So , guys : See if you can find a car used for a yard ornament , an advertisement gimmick , or in some unique way ... |

I couid give you one or three right now.. with my bike in the picture. But I figured you would want something fresh. These pictures would be from previous rides. If you think I jest... I could IM you google street shots of them. :P Just be patient! |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/09/20 at 15:57:05 So , if your out ridding around and get pulled over for "violating the STAY HOME" order : Well , officer I have to find a Scavenger Hunt item before I can go home ! Really here in Tn. we still go anywhere we want . Its so nice to have "Ridding Weather" returned again ... I just can't stay home , but I can not stop for anything but fuel and wipe the pump good before using it ! :) |

I have not changed when I ride based on COVID-19. I usually ride alone, so that is not a problem. I have disposable gloves and disinfectant wipes for refueling, and I pack a snack. I was out riding last weekend and passed by a few law enforcement vehicles.. no issues. Even exchanged waves with one on a motorcycle. They ain't out to bust your chops. Just don't want you swapping germs with other people. Maybe some places have a ban on recreational riding. If people are idiots and go riding, then stopping, in large groups, then law makers are going to make it so NOBODY can ride. Got today off.. may ride today! 10% chance of rain. :D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 04/13/20 at 04:13:43 Here ya go. Three pics, so it will take 3 posts as I am too lazy to edit them together. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 06/19/20 at 04:46:14 I declare myself that all time and multiple repeat winner of this Scavenger Hunt.. again! 8-) As such, I do not need to come up with something new for us to go and find.. for a long long time. So, if somebody wants to roll this thing forward, give us something else to look for. I will continue to hunt them down. :D |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 03/21/22 at 03:40:11 Since nobody has accepted Youzguyz challenge for nearly 2 years, I will try starting this again with a new challenge. (If there is loud protest I can go to the Loveland Castle in a week or two......we need a hard rain to wash the salt off the roads before I go riding again, and we are forecast for a rain/snow event this Friday). Find a road sign with a quirky name. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 03/21/22 at 18:58:37 OH , That is too easy for me ! ;D I'll hold back for a few days to give you other guy first shot. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by springman on 03/22/22 at 08:37:49 I'm guessing I won't get chance to participate until the weekend. Wonder what the challenge will be then??? |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Serowbot on 03/22/22 at 15:34:42 You or your bike must be in the photo. No Google shots. ...and let's keep politics out of here. Serow |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by Dave on 03/22/22 at 17:41:49 OK.....lets get a real one - with you and/or the bike (you should be riding the bike to get there). If it is not possible to get the bike in the photo - then you in a selfie is acceptable. Either the castle to match youzguyz original challenge - or my sign challenge will be great! And you must then post a photo of you/your bike with the new challenge to get the scavenger hunt going again. |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 03/25/22 at 20:26:15 We're having a cold busy weekend , but Monday if its dry ... I'm going to a road named after an animal's nick name . So if your having nice weather this weekend ya better get at it ! :) |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/02/22 at 21:22:19 How about a Rd. named PoleCat Hollow ? Can't imagine why anyone would want to live in such a place ? This is one of the things down PoleCat ! Click on "About" https://www.ptcdriving.com/ Seems normal for Lynchburg Tn. but maybe not so normal else's where ? |
|
Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by youzguyz on 04/05/22 at 13:39:42 Now Dave has to approve .. or deny.. this submission. If approved, MM needs to supply the next challenge.. which, again, is a picture of him and/or his motorcycle with the item of interest. |

Title: Re: Scavenger Hunt anyone? Post by MMRanch on 04/05/22 at 15:51:50 Got one on hand , waiting on aproval from Mr. Dave ? ;D Hay , Dave I know where a Castle is if ya really need one ? :-? |
