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

Scoring: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kgsAzaLIXN-IJMjscyNnQTNvWEp__VzgGBSkJDYrTfs/edit?usp=sharing

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

1/14/21 – “Benedict Arnold” Anagram Word (5 or more letters, can’t be handwritten or on/in something portable)

It’s the nation’s most famous traitor’s birthday on 1/14: Benedict Arnold

Read below:

1. Find a word using “Benedict Arnold” as the base for an anagram, then take a picture of the word out there in the wild. It can’t be handwritten OR in/on something portable (book, magazine, energy bar wrapper, etc). Street signs, outdoor ads, or descriptions on plaques are examples of acceptable entries.
2. Don’t know what an anagram is? Basically, jumble all the letters in his name and pull out words using just those letters. For example, one word I can pull out after jumbling the letters is “neon” (it’s just 4 letters, so it doesn’t count in this hunt). Now I just ride around and take a picture of the word “neon” on a sign, a poster, etc. I don’t want the visual representation of that word (like an “OPEN” sign), I want the actual word to be shown in that photo
3. For this hunt, the word has to be 5 letters or more.
4. The first person to post a picture of the longest word by the end of the day on 1/14 will get 5 extra bonus points. If the post is edited, that will be the time I am considering it posted.
5. Remember, just post 1 pic/day (plus follow all the rest of the rules of the game)

Happy hunting!

1/14/2021 Benedict Arnold anagram
While visiting Jones Point today I found some historical markers. The word “inland” is used in the statement about native people, after the ice age, leaving their “inland” villages to establish hunting and fishing camps at Jones Point. Who knew that reading historical markers could provide answers to puzzles?

I have to say Bagels are NOT a thing in Spain. Bread is huge with every meal and the baguettes are traditional so I guess Bagels never really made it! That said I found a shop featuring Bagels “American Style”, they also sell “American” Cereal (you can see them in the picture inside the store) and “American” muffins.

However, if one ever finds oneself in North Pinellas, Elizabeth’s Bakery is amazing. They’re across the street from Einstein’s and much better quality food, though no bagels. Highly recommend their lemon bars and apple pies!

Here’s a picture of the word “Breadline” (see, I am trainable!). Too bad they’re closed. Their bread was better than Arnold’s, and I hear they made a great Eggs Benedict.

They had great salads too! The lunch lines would go out the door!

Dunkin’ Donuts is the closest place near me that has bagels. I’ve had them, and they aren’t bad. Maybe not as good as some specialty bagel places, but no complaints here. This one is on Columbia Pike near Walter Reed Drive, in Arlington, VA.

I don’t know why the photo turned sideways. Heavy sigh.
