Sacramento Pipeworks Bike Club 4th of July Scavenger Hunt
The Sacramento Pipeworks Bike Club had its annual 4th of July Sacenger Hunt last week. The highly anticipated cycling event brought together more than twenty people who competed in a photo scavenger hunt, which relied heavily on creativity and teamwork, and kept the physical hardships to a minimum.
Each team of three or four, was given a checklist, and an hour and forty-five minutes to collect as many photos from the list as the could. Some of the items were slightly abstract and so an open mind was necessary.
Below is a just a sample of items asked for:
1776
5 mph miles per hour posted speed
American Flag clothing
Apple Pie
At least $10 cover charge
$1000 reward offered for missing pet
At least 10 bicycles in one image
Backhoe
Baseball
Cannon
Circle, triangle, square (all in one shot)
Community garden
Eagle
FitCore workout station
Gargoyle
Gravestone
He shoots! He scores!
Horse
Hot dog
Invisible
It’s ok to color outside the lines
Jimi Hendrix
Lion
Midnight
Pimped my ride
Pink slip
President on Mt. Rushmore
Prickly pear cactus
Rotary phone
Shiny
Skate or die
Solar panel
Some assembly required
Something old, something new
Truck nuts
View from the second floor or higher
Weather Vane
What is Scott doing here?!
When animals attack
Bonus points for figuring out a foreign language item:
German: Blumengarten
German: Trinkwasserbrunnen
French: Écureuil
French: Distributeur automatique
Italian: Isola rotatoria
Italian: Tazzina da caffè
After the hunt, there was a food-related challenge. This years theme celebrated that which makes American great - party affiliation. Participants were asked to bring a dish that highlights the glory of partisanship. Members were encouraged to do anything from life-sized butter sculptures of Rush Limbaugh, to an empty plate symbolizing the zero electoral votes earned by 2009 Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader. Luckily, the food turned out to be far better than those two suggestions.
Check out some of Scott Clark's photos.
