2/23 – Thurmont – Gateway to the mountains.

@aaron-bikes – I may be one of those people who posts pictures from other places and probably a few lame ones.  I put in my time and I’m retired.  I enjoy life and riding my bike (in nice weather).

No way would I ever want to run this contest.  I’m pretty sure I could get everyone pissed off at me if I was judging.  I really didn’t mean to open a can of worms with my comment. Oh, well.  At least it got people interracting with each other.

@kbikeva – I’m ‘playing’ two cards and don’t have an ice cream shop!  However, usually I enjoy my ice cream at home.  I have an ice cream cone just about every night.  Mint Chocolate Chip (the white stuff, not the phony green stuff).

@cvcalhoun – I know the game is over.  I even told myself not to go by my ‘usual’ yellow car.  I just happened to see this old ‘relic’ (which was also a scavhunt).  I remember nonsense like that.  I still look for mailboxes becuase of this dumb challenge.  And don’t even get me started about all those flags out there.  It’s nuts.

@Everyone

I really didn’t mean to be whiny or sound like I was complaining.  I was just making a reference to the ‘photo quality’ part of this game.  I’m more of a person who rides a bike instead of taking pictures.  Even when I take a picture, I just unclip one foot, take the picture and move on.  Although, I have been known to wait for any type of breeze so my flag isn’t limp for the ‘flag’ game.
I play this game because it’s easy and fun.  As Carol pointed out, if I didn’t like the rules, I wouldn’t play.
I really do appreciate the work and effort made to run a game like this.  That’s why any games I have sponsored don’t involve spreadsheets or thinking!
On that note, I will continue to play with as much enthusiasm as before.   I really don’t expect any prize winnings on here to supplement my retirement.

@kbikeva – over 6,000 tons!  I had to research that one.  And on that note, I forgot to add that the new forum really ruins a lot of the interraction we used to have.

2/22/2024 – Heavy

This water tower holds 1.5 million gallons of water.  I’d say that qualifies as heavy,

2/22 – POW/MIA (not the usual black one that I normally see).  Same place as the Seabees.

[AlanA]

I know the game is over, but I just happened to see this cool old yellow car and took a picture of it.

[AlanA]

@lhasacm – FYI, just remember that a yellow ambulance might get you a ‘fire’ point, but won’t win you Bingo!

[AlanA]

@kbikeva – I guess that’s why I don’t get many points.  I just look for pictures that will work and take a picture of it.  I don’t really put much effort into the framing of the picture.  I put more effort into the caption.

[AlanA]

@cvcalhoun – Thanks for the heads up about someone winning.  I have yellow car on my card but it won’t do me any good.  I won’t even waste the effort of getting it even though I have one close by in my neighborhood.

I have submitted a new card for game 3, but just for fun, I’m also going to play along with my original card (I like to torture myself).  I just won’t post anything to this site or tag anything on Strava.

@bikesnick – I wonder when there will be a Caitlin Clark flag?

[AlanA]

2/21/2024 – Build

It’s hard to build without builders.

2/21 – Italy

[AlanA]

@DCAKen – Some years Feb. has 29 days.  Not sure we’ve ever had one with 30 days, though.

[AlanA]

@matteblack – It’s mind boggling how many variations of seasonal flags are out there.  You have certainly brought this to our attention!
