1/2/21 – find a palindrome on your ride. If you use a number, it should have at least 5 digits. Post it in this thread on 1/2/21. Happy hunting!

1/2/21 another Civic!

I’m counting this, but I’ve added a new rule to the list of rules

@drevil 203165 wrote:

Rules:
…
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)

Too many pics, but grace period until 1/4: http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php?18102-Freezing-Saddles-2021-Daily-Photo-Scavenger-Hunt&p=203636#post203636

Nice doubling up, but you didn’t preface your post with the date and item or by quoting my request post (Rule 6). I’ll count this because I’m doing a grace period until 1/4, but please quote or preface properly for future finds. Thanks!

I just want to say thanks to everyone for playing along. This is more popular than I thought. I’m trying to keep this fun, but I’m trying to be a stickler to the rules so I’m not spending hours trying to tally things up manually.

Y’all please continue your awesomeness, and keep the great and creative photos coming! 😎

Thanks for posting the challenge. I find myself looking at the environment around me in a completely different way. Well done!

I’ll do a grace period until 1/4, but on 1/5 and onward, hardarse (me) is gonna start enforcing

You broke rule #9 here with more than one pic, but I’ll count it since we’re all new at this.

******
I know it seems like I’m being a hardarse, but let’s limit it to one pic per day so this thread’s sorta readable at the end

Tough crowd in this thread!

Here’s an example of a good entry because:

1. It was posted on the day for the day it was requested
2. It states the date and the found item in text
3. It has the picture in the thread. Unfortunately, posting just a link to another place (like Instagram, Flickr, etc.) without the picture is too hard to track. You can link to the pic somewhere else, but please include the pic in this thread for it to count.

The description and location (in green) are optional, but nice.

The easiest way to post with your pic is to “Reply With Quote” directly to my request for the day, that way my request is encapsulated in your response.
