May 2010 Scavenger Hunt

[dean owens]

Vintage, Classics, and Just Plain Old

Prize: 50,000 Site Credits

End Date: May 28th at Midnight (EST)​

Last month it was all about newness. This month we'll go in the other direction and go with things that have had a chance to age and mature a bit. And since everything gets better with age I'm hoping for some pretty cool pics this month.

In keeping with the theme I thought y'all might like a little Sinbad. This standup routine (not just this clip) is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Hope you enjoy.

I think I've got a good shot this month

 

[AngelFZ]

Now I have basically the whole month to get some pictures!!!!

Last month I found out about this a little too late...

I'm already thinking where I'll go to take the pictures:thumbup:

"a couple in their 60's or older" Doesn't seem that hard to me. It just seems like a good excuse to visit parents/ grandparents.

I only have three to go.

 

[Kazza]

I'm nowhere near this......

 

[BH322893]

I only have three to go.

me too, the only one I'm really having an issue finding is the older model bike. I may have to start calling people in the want-ads to see if they'll help me :BLAA:

I had issues with the car.....I followed this couple for 'miles' hoping they would park somewhere so I could take a pic of their car! I could have gotten the car & the older couple in one swoop!

 

[AngelFZ]

I was able to get just a couple today. I was aiming for 5 but only got 3 so far...
I'll try to get some more tomorrow (hopefully 3 more) and post them at once

 

[bigdog9191999]

darn it i have been waiting for the hunts to start back up and now that they have i forget to check. uhhhh!!! thats ok i can get a good jump tomarrow. the weather will be great and i will have all day to get them. i can think of where to get about 8 items off the top of my head and i am sure i can come up with the rest fairly easy.

time to ride!!!!

 

[lytehouse]

found the car (or truck in this case) this morning.....

 

[BH322893]

I think I found the right age bike, not really sure cause it was on a random road missing parts. Now I need to get the car and old people.

 

[AngelFZ]

Well, these are the ones I have so far.

Regarding the Historic Landmark:
"The LaGrange church first begun in 1869, is the oldest church between New Smyrna Beach and Key West"

 

[coffebean]

Hey guys,

I like the idea of this scavenger hunt very much. I won't be able to ride much the next days, so I'll give it a try in June!

Good luck for you all this month! :thumbup:

ONE MORE DAY

Come on, don't take away the long weekend :thumbup:

I'm on a real "hunt" now, I ran out of places where to find the pictures I'm missing...I might have to get some ideas here

On top of that, it has happened like twice to me, when I'm driving the car, I've seen "old" cars around, but not when I'm on the bike Now, the "old" bike is more difficult than what I thought it could have been

Good luck to everybody :rockon:
