DocO Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share #26 Posted March 24, 2008 I WIN! I WIN! Taken about an hour ago. Next picture has to be by a caboose. It doesn't have to be on tracks anymore. Not many of them are. It could be converted into a restaurant or something. But it has to be a real caboose. Awesome job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winner has now designated a caboose for the next challenge. Heck...there is actually a caboose about 12 miles up the road from me that has been converted to a diner...if I could just get my bike out of the driveway I could win this one.

pegscraper Posted March 24, 2008 Share #32 Posted March 24, 2008 PM on its way. That pic did turn out better than I thought it would. Lori was ill today and couldn't go down with me to take it. I ended up propping the camera up on one of the posts that's rammed into the ground in front of the bridge to keep traffic off of it, and then using a stick to level and aim the camera. The ten second timer just barely gave me enough time to run up there and jump on. In fact in this pic, I was still getting the bike into balance and shifting my weight and I looked up just in time to see the flash go off. I figured that one was no good, so I did another one that went better, but then I ended up using the first one anyway. I liked it better. It's been in the 40s and 50s around here for several days. Our snow is gone. The water does look high in that pic, doesn't it? It didn't strike me as being that high when I was there. I didn't know if I had to take a picture myself of what the next target had to be. I didn't see it as being a rule, so I didn't. I wonder if it might be a fun additional rule though. I could have done it. There are two cabooses within ten miles of me, and a couple more within an hour's ride. I rode by one of them on my way back home. What I really wanted to pick was an old round barn, but I figured they are really too rare for there to be much competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BluesLover Posted March 25, 2008 Share #33 Posted March 25, 2008 Next picture has to be by a caboose. Ok you guys ... you're stealing all of my already taken pictures!!! Here's one that was taken on last year's New England trip ... oh well... as always ... a dollar short and a year late ... Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted March 25, 2008 Share #34 Posted March 25, 2008 But I don't see you or your bike in that picture. C'mon, y'all knew with a covered bridge as the first target that it had to be me, the one who hosted the covered bridge ride last Nov. 3. (I think that whole thread has been deleted now in the interest of conserving board space.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfwitt Posted March 25, 2008 Share #35 Posted March 25, 2008 Looks more like a dining car than a caboose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted March 25, 2008 Share #36 Posted March 25, 2008 Heck...there is actually a caboose about 12 miles up the road from me that has been converted to a diner...if I could just get my bike out of the driveway I could win this one. You could always put it in the trailer, and tow it up there. I assume Mr. OWls Venture Ranger in the photo Could win ? I know I am a Pain, BUT here is an idea only, is it possible to start a NEW Topic area and each time there is a winner someone makes a new post, with the new Item for the scavenger. This way it may make it easier to find what we are looking for. JUST an idea. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosebud Posted March 25, 2008 Share #37 Posted March 25, 2008 Here it is a real live caboose, and NEWTrk's bike, but NEWTrk was behind the camera instead of in front of it... Is it okay? Does he win? He doesn't know how to set the timer on the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted March 26, 2008 Share #38 Posted March 26, 2008 [*]Targets must involve you and your bike in some way. I believe the rules say that the rider has to be in the picture. You, your bike, and a caboose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM8560 Posted March 26, 2008 Share #39 Posted March 26, 2008 One of these days Tom, one of these days! the Ft Myers Beach store (where that pictire was taken), I though that looked familiar, I was just down there this afternoon on Work, turnes out the place was mobed with spring breakers. ( I forgot my camera) This sounds like fun but not very many covered bridges near me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted March 26, 2008 Share #40 Posted March 26, 2008 Hey guys, if this is going to work, y'all will have to pay attention here. If you read the entire thread, you'll see that the covered bridge has been done. The new target is a caboose. You, your bike, and a caboose.

Brad My though on that is one could miss a new thread but if all the photos are in one thread the original you just have to go to the last page to see the new target:confused24: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfwitt Posted March 26, 2008 Share #42 Posted March 26, 2008 Not a great picture but this was at 12:09 PM EDT today. I had all sorts of thoughts for a new target but in honor of the opening of the new baseball season... You with a baseball cap on, your bike, a baseball field (your bike doesn't need to be ON the baseball field) Play ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibvel Posted March 26, 2008 Share #43 Posted March 26, 2008 Ooooops, sorry, it has to be You, your bike and a caboose but your trunk must be shut!! Good job, looks like a winner to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfwitt Posted March 26, 2008 Share #44 Posted March 26, 2008 I was trying to find a place to set the camera and had the bike there just to get everything in the frame. A jogger came by and I flagged him down to take the picture. As soon as he took the picture I realized the trunk was still open. But the guy didn't seem to eager to be a photographer so I didn't ask him to retake it. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocO Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share #47 Posted March 26, 2008 Excellent.. you guys are doing great! Hmm.. I usually keep a cap in my bags.. wonder if it's in there.
