There are some cows that are supposed to have horns.

Some people are under the mistaken impression that only male cattle can have horns, but in cattle as well as some other species both males and females can have them.

You said Picture Pump, could it be an actual pump? or just a picture on a sign?

 

Could it be more of a modern hydrant where it doesn't pump but has a handle? just asking.

How about a picture of you your bike and an old time picture pump like this one of the larger hand pump type.

Good hunting and enjoy the ride.

 

I miss spelled it. Should have been a "pitcher" pump or a "hand pump" not a picture of a picture. :080402gudl_prv:

I assume that the bike is the blurr to the left of the pump behind the trees in the second picture. I'll give it to you. I thought about giving extra points originally for finding one that was also a drinking fountain and thats what you found anyway. I haven't seen one of then in quite a while, I grew up in Michigan.

So I'll give it to you.

Whats the next target?

Cool, it was an interesting find and I had fun looking for it I kept stopping by all this little campgrounds and this one was about 100 yards off the Palmetto trail.

 

You, your bike and a compass rose. I saw several over the weekend so I do not belive it should be too hard of a target. They can be on a sign, on a building , etc.. just needs to be a compass rose.

I have been looking but haven't found one yet, and it has been a bit cold up my way. Your decision if you want to change it but i would say give it some more time. I thought it was a clever choice.

 

Got some good weather the rest of the week, I will be looking.

 

EDIT! I just googled Compass Rose in Peoria, IL and found one on the riverfront with a street close enough I can get a picture without getting arrested for driving on sidewalks. I can get it in the next day or two. Hurry if anyone wants to beat me!

OK, Not sure if I will get this in time, but took a nice 50 mile roundtrip ride to Peoria, and got this compass rose on the riverfront, I think you can see the stacks of the paddlewheel "Spirit of Peoria" working paddlewheel boat at dock. They are probably about ready to take it south for the winter. Second picture shows the compass closer.

 

Edit, gosh I look serious, I really was having a good time.

 

And Chris, if you get your picture today, I will be happy to step aside and let you take the lavish prizes for this time, and also set the next target! :)

Posted

You got it, Don, and to you go the spoils of picking the next target.

 

Absolutely no complaints about a sunny ride into Vancouver and around Stanley Park for the first time this year! I do live in a beautiful part of the world.

Chris, I was actually waiting to post hoping you would get there first. Nice grab on the picture though, you look a lot happier than I do! I wish I could find a way to get my pictures to show up without a link, any tips?

 

OK, so I thought about this, and for the next target, how about:

 

A Picture of you and your bike AND.......one of those seriously hacked up trees around power or other lines. The ones where they cut most of the tree out, or make it U shaped around the lines. I think something like this should be available in most parts of the country. The weirder the tree the more bonus points. :cool10: Those that live in the middle of death valley or in a desert may have to sit this one out.:crackup:

Don, for the pictures, click on the paper clip (attachments), and upload the files from your computer. Presto! They appear!!!

 

Do they have to lop big cacti off power lines? That would be good for desert dwellers and definately weird.

Scroll down and manage attachments should post with out a link.

 

Great job on both of you for the compasses roses.

 

Joe, I appreciate the tip(and complement), but I tried that the first time. This isn't the only forum where I can't get pictures to post, might it have something to do with my browser? I use Firefox.

It is something about the actual picture and I'm not sure what. I saved your picture and tried to upload it and I got the link also.

 

I just opened it again with my picture editor and then without making any changes, just saved it again. Going to attach it now and see what happens.
