FSSB(16) 1 – Finders Keepers — Round 1 (NAME TO BE ANNOUNCED)

[Mikey]

In previous years I had you looking for Presidents. This first round has you doing the opposite. your four mystery tokens are “hidden” at 4 sites. Each site is
1) Within the National Mall and Monument Park – South of Constitution, West of the Capitol, Including East and West Potomac Parks Northwest of I-395 and West of the Potomac River.
2) is a monument to a single person who was never POTUS.

The round name is #NotPresident
remember to include the name of the monument, your Freezing Saddles name (first name, last initial or equivalent) and a photo of the site with your bike. Post in this round’s forum thread

the deadline for this challenge is 11:59:59 pm on Thursday 1/21 and Go!

[Mikey]

So if the rules were too confusing, all you have to do is go out and take a photo of a monument on the national mall and monument park that is not for a president, and include in the photo your bike. Then post here with your name and the name of the site. Then we can worry about steals.

JPJ is won! Token is en-route. Track down Komorebi if you want to steal it.

I would like to thank Komorebi for bringing her newly acquired JPJ token from round #NotPresident to me at work. Here are our bikes:

My bike is a white ’70s Fuji converted into a fixie (at least for now).

Yes, Dismal is Mark W. And I made that waaay too easy for him. Clearly, I will have to be more devious in the future.

[DismalScientist]

I see no rule forbidding the mining of multiple token at a time, so here goes:
First the obvious:

Martin Luther King memorial
#NotPresident
DismalScientist
[ATTACH=CONFIG]10398[/ATTACH]

[DismalScientist]

Second, the father of sharrows on uphill roads:
George Mason Memorial
#NotPresident
DismalScientist
[ATTACH=CONFIG]10399[/ATTACH]

[DismalScientist]

Lastly, the father of the metal navy,

John Ericsson Memorial
#NotPresident
DismalScientist
[ATTACH=CONFIG]10400[/ATTACH]

[Mikey]

Well Played, you got all 4! Here are your tokens. First round is closed.

That one was intentionally easy. Then next few will be harder.
