I love taking photos, and having a goal usually ups the fun factor, so I’m doing a daily photo scavenger hunt.

Every night, I’ll post something you have to take a picture of the next day (along with the date). I’ll try my best to post before midnight.

It might be an object (a stop sign), a theme (something blue), specific (e.g., a bike laying on the ground), vague (e.g., confusion), a mish-mash of those, or none of those.

Rules:

1. Obvs, you should be a participant in Freezing Saddles ’21
2. It has to be on a bike ride on the day it was requested
3. It has to be posted on the day for which it was requested, i.e., 12:01 AM EST to 11:59 PM EST for the day it was requested. Sorry, I won’t count ones that aren’t posted for the day it was requested. That’s part of the challenge
4. The reason I say “for the day it is requested” is because I might do requests a few days ahead of time, but don’t take and/or post the pic until that day comes.
5. It has to be posted here on the forum in this thread
6. There should be text either in the title or in the post with the date and the found object/theme. Another option is to “Reply With Quote” the post with the request, i.e., simply click that button on the bottom right of my request so it is quoted above your picture
7. Description, short backstory or location are optional (but nice). That said, if your pic is abstract or not obviously relatable to my request, please explain (e.g., I ask for “happiness”, and you post a pic of a tennis ball you found on a ride, please explain how that tennis ball = happiness)
8. It has to be a picture you took, so if you’re in it, it either has to be a selfie or done with a self-timer
9. Only one pic/day. Please don’t pad by adding more than one pic/day
10. It has to be a picture, not a video
11. Let’s stick to things you find out there during your ride, and not things that you bring or make yourself (unless otherwise specified). Example 1: if I say find “2021”, don’t scratch it into dirt. Example 2: if I say find a flower, don’t bring a flower with you on your ride and take a pic of that. This kinda takes the fun out of looking for things, which is the whole point. (Rule added on 1/2/21)
12. Unless specified otherwise, your bike does not have to be in the photo. (Rule amended on 1/4/21)
13. Found item needs to be clear and discernible (or legible if text) in the picture. If you are using Tapatalk and are having trouble posting pics that are large enough, let us know and I/we can try to help you with it. (Rule added on 1/3/21)
14. Filters are OK, but no obvious/blatant photoshopping… not that I know anything about such things

1. If you follow all the rules above, it’s 1 point/picture. I’ll like your pic if I have added the point to the tally sheet.
2. If I feel like you haven’t met all the rules, I’ll give you .25 points for the effort (Added on 1/11/21)
3. I’ll keep a tally with your forum name. I may reach out to you via the forum’s messaging, or ask you to reach out to me in a post in this thread.
4. EDIT ON 3/17/21: THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN ANYMORE -> At the end of FS, every like in each of your pic posts = +1 point. I’ll add these up at the end
   So for example, your pic has met all the conditions at the top, and has 3 likes. That will add 4 points (1 for the pic +3 for the likes) to your pot.

Notes:

1. Prizes TBD
2. Contest starts 1/1/21 and goes until the last day of FS ’21
3. Some of these will be hard. Fret not, some will be easy, so skip those days that are too difficult
4. Don’t ever ever ever ever do anything that can put you in danger or will result in hurting yourself. I promise I won’t ask for any pics of you riding on the Beltway
5. I might post pics, but mine don’t count in the contest

In the spirit of words that become Americanized, I chose to ride to Tipico AMIGOS for my subanagram. Just off Rt. 7 in Sterling.

I was excited when ice cream popped out of Amerigo’s name. Sadly, none of the three cream stores I visited was open. The Creamery is on the unit block of King Street in Alexandria.

. . . . . . . …………PRIUS

Would you believe Clay Café Studios doesn’t say “CERAMICS” on it anywhere? That’s what they make! Soooo I found a SERVICE center, an ESCAPE and a PRIUS. People have already posted pix of “service” and “escape” and I didn’t see anything about bonus points for longer words, so here’s my PRIUS pic.

3/9 – Amerigo Vespucci

Does it count as a sub anagram if it is a picture of a bust of the man himself? (Since I’m not too concerned about the points, what do I have to lose? I found this a few blocks from the Empire Apartments.

It’s pretty ugly for being a “cathedral” IMO.

I had one of those really close to my office in Wheaton (back when I actually worked). They were a bit pricey, but it was quite yummy!

Personally, I think you deserve double points for finding his name! lol, but I’m not the keeper of the game.
