Scavenger Hunt 11-14-09 (the creepy one)

Nov 16

Posted by Ed Nelson in Misc stuff, Motorcycle, Scavenger Hunts | No Comments

Another scavenger hunt hit for me…

You and your bike by a playground with a sign that reads, “Michael Jackson is gone, but I’m here”

My wife called this one ‘creepy’…so I HAD to do it!

I rode over to a playground 5 blocks from my house. School is out, so no kids going to school (the park is next to the high school), and only 1 person in a car to watch me ride right up to the jungle gym.

I parked on that recycled tire spongy stuff, set the timer and got the pic of me with the sign reading

“Michael Jackson is gone, but I’m here”

I added “Free Candy” to the end to up the creep factor lol

Scavenger Hunt 07-18-09 (ride a quad!)

Jul 18

Posted by Ed Nelson in Misc stuff | No Comments

Over at www.volusiariders.com, a group of us play a silly scavenger hunt game with our motorcycles.

It’s always You, Your Motorcycle, and…”. The goal is to be the first to post a picture meeting the requirements.

This time, the target was:

You, your bike outside of a motorcycle dealership (sign must be visible), sitting on a 4 wheeler with your helmet on and “leaning” in for a curve. (like a on a sportbike, knee out head up.)

Time: 3:15PM
Temperature: 109 DEGREES

I rode over to the Suzuki dealer in my town (who I cannot stand…long story) to get this photo.

I wandered around like I was checking out the quads, and when the coast was clear, I jumped on the nearest quad for the hit (which happened to be the smallest quad in line…it felt like a toy under me. I was worried if I leaned any further, it would tip!).

Scavenger Hunt 07-12-09 (Take a nap!)

Jul 15

Over at www.volusiariders.com, I got yet another win in the scavenger hunt contest I run.

The target this time was:

You, your bike outside of a mattress store (sign must be visible)
While cuddling your favorite pillow.

I rode my bike to work today so I could get this target…I knew right where I wanted to go. I almost brought my half of a watermelon that I bought for the last target that didn’t get used, but it was easier to leave it home.

I packed my pillow and a blanket, and rode to one of the oldest mattress stores in Chico. I set up a comfy bed, set the timer on the camera, and relaxed for the photo. I almost didn’t want to get back up to go to work.

Scavenger Hunt, 05-22-09

May 22

Motorcycle scavenger hunts rock, especially when I have a day off :)

It’s time for another Scavenger hunt target from www.volusiariders.com:

I woke up this morning, and saw this as the target:

You, Your bike in front of a laudromat, basket of clothes, quarters in hand.

Sooo…This laundromat is just a few blocks from my house, so I grabbed a basket that is easily carried, grabbed some clothes from the pile, a few quarters to wash (no need to worry about drying the clothes, they will air dry on the way home Smile ) and zipped over to the store.
