Scooter Photo Scavenger Hunt 2010 Week 1: Deliver!

Scooter Photo Scavenger Hunt 2010 Week 1: Deliver!
March 27 – April 4th


Join in on the fun! This was a GREAT time in the summer of 2008 so lets kick off this summer with a bang. Here are links to some of the 2008 hunts http://www.timwall.com/hunt/
Note: if you don’t get in this week, that’s fine, you can jump in later.
You do not have to go crazy with 20 point photos – If you want, feel free to go get the basic photo & post up. No one will give you a hard time here. We just want lots of peole to play along – the fun part is seeing LOTS of scoots with the subject of the week.

We are gong to start out nice & easy this summer & this hunt overlaps two weekends because I figure some people might be busy next weekend with Easter.

Your Scooter with a US Post Office / UPS / FedEx or DHL Delivery vehicle

4 pts- your scooter with a delivery vehicle / jeep / official UPSP car (We are looking for a nationally recognized delivery company – if you have one that I have not mentioned, PM me for approval – no pizza delivery guys, no messenger services etc.) If someone sends me a delivery company that I decide qualifies, I will add them to the list.

+2 pts if the delivery guy/gal is in your photo
+2 pts if the delivery guy/gal is sitting on your scooter (so that would be a total of 4 pts)
+1 pt for each additional delivery vehicle (max of 10pts for this category)
+5 pts for a delivery airplane with delivery company logos (you can do a plane an NO truck if you wish & yes…. If there are several airplanes in the photo, you get 1 additional point for each, up to 10)
1 pt – if you are in the photo (entire body & entire scooter)
2pts – if YOU are wearing a hat belonging to one of the accepted delivery companies (does NOT have to be the same company whose truck it is – UPS hat & a FedEx truck? Fine with me)
3pts – if YOU are wearing a shirt belonging to one of the accepted delivery companies (does NOT have to be the same company whose truck it is – UPS shirt & a FedEx truck? Fine with me)
+1 pt for the first pic in this week

Questions? PM me

Photo must be posted by midnight in YOUR time zone on 4/4/10

PLEASE do your own math & include you point total with your submission!!!! (if you don’t include your points, you don’t get them)

General Rules for every week:
-Only one photo may be submitted by each member for each week’s subject. (but if you get a better pic later in the week, POST IT with your new points - PLEASE edit your original post note that you posted a better pic and note in the newer post that it is a replacement for a previous pic.
-Old photos you have lying around can NOT be used- they must be NEW photos taken the week the photo subject was posted
-No Photoshop submissions
-Prize? Eric says YES! At the end of each month the person with the best point totals for the hunts run during that month will get a prize... but this is about bragging rights & all the fun we will have this summer… not just prizes so play along even if you dont plan on winning

Prize for April: Modern Buddy Patch (priceless) + a Gen U Bin ($39.95 http://shop.scooterdude.us/GEN-U-BIN-G6.htm)
Image Image

Added 3/31/10 - approved delivery service http://www.speedeedelivery.com/
If anyone has any other ones they want to check on, just PM me

In fact, the local USPS station is so close (I can see it from my front porch) that I felt a little silly actually getting on the scooter just to ride there, so I went for a quick ride around the local lake after the photo shoot.

By my reckoning, that's 4 points for the scooter and the first delivery truck + 10 points for the 2nd thru 11th delivery truck/van + 1 point for being first = 15 points.

I thought about trying to hook up with my postal carrier, who is an avid scooterist, but I'm not home when he's usually in the neighborhood, and he's out of uniform otherwise... So this was easier.

I work at DFW Airport. Major delivery hub. And my department building is right next to the Main Post Office hub. I'm trying to time the UPS and FedEx planes so I can get a shot of me, Bonheur, the USPS truck, FedEx plane and UPS plane all in one shot...give me a minute to figure it out. LOL
Yes, it's fast. No, you can't ride it.

I think there's actually more than 5 trucks in the background, but I can for sure say there's 5, so that's what I'm going with.

4 pts for the first Post Office truck.
4 pts for the other 4 trucks.
8 pts total

And we're off!

Great day for this. 10 trucks at my local PO and I have a USPS hat. Just unsure that it's a wise move. GF and I are connecting (not a euphemism) and probably not the time for me to say, "Sweetie, want to hop on the scoot with me so I can try to win some cool stuff?"

Will update if I find a way to make this happen.

OK. She let me go. Got the photo...

4 pts- your scooter with a delivery vehicle
10 pts for additional delivery vehicles
1 pt me in the photo - crouched to show all the USPS trucks, Scootle there too.
2 pts USPS hat on my head (second photo is closeup of the hat)

17 points. Couldn't find and airplane and nobody was sorting today as it's Easter - so no USPS guys or gals on my scooter.

I've missed playing and am excited for this week. Supposed to be in the 70s all week long in the Northeast! Scoot-ON!
