heheh  when you finish
no
 but first one back with all the right info wins

again  the cards with the addresses will be random in each envelope  but you can go in any order you want.  (yes i did a calculation on the fastest route..)

AND my phone number will be on the envelope for any help or hints and I would luv to get texts to keep progress

[RobFriedman]

as i posted:
this is my current list:

JIMINI
Kelley'sToy
Batmini
MiniOne
BZZZZ (??)
Seatrax (Seaspray aka checkers aka Sha & Shea)
Sandy (& Max)
maybe Arnie and Harriet

anyone else???
 I've prepped 10 envelopes   and can do 15 total as of now (i can make more)

[seatrax]

Rob, my cousin Robert possibly...but his grandson was to have brain surgery tomorrow, but it has just gotten postponed, and don't know when it will be yet.

[RobFriedman]

while I would luv to have him.. I think his grandson needs him a lot more

so  anyone else interested?

[RobFriedman]

anyone?? anyone??

[RobFriedman]

I'm hearing crickets

[JIMINI]

Just double checking because my mind is a terrible thing to waste. 10 am on Sunday at Airport Plaza is the starting point for the Scavenger Hunt. See you .

[RobFriedman]

I was about to repost it. 10 AM SHARP  (so put 9;30 into your heads.. all envelopes will be handed out AT 10 AM  (by my timex)

there is NO time limit  and I will be available by phone if anyone has any problems
 and yes  have your maps  gps  laoptops phones ready. (walkies will not be needed since we will be all over western suffolk and eastern nassau). check yourcamera batteries  cell phones  and in pauls  case  polaroid (or fuji instax if you wish)

and yes  all images will be judged by yours truly..

and above all  have fun

Looks like I cannot go due to a 4 year olds bday party... but I might stop in to say hi at the start.

[RobFriedman]

sorry lucas.. wish you would be here too
but then again  you probably would have known all the places

[RobFriedman]

final notes once more:
 To ALL
 April 11 Sunday leaving @ 10 AM from Airport Plaze.. the 1st ever Photo Scavenger Oddities Hunt (for Mini's)  we will take old and new ones.. (and yes I did combine the scavenger hunt.. with an oddities tour,, and photography..)
 We have 8 places to find and figure out what is a) unusual about them or B) historic  about them.  Then photograph it and go on to the next.
 Most actually have a sign at the location. but 3 do not..  Also 2 are rather humorous (for those who know my type of humor.. you will understand it)
When finished we will all meet at the Panera Bread at Walt Whitman Shopping Center (unless someone has a better place in mind ).

All sites must be photographed (which I will review) with either a digital camera, cell phone, or for paul.. a pinhole with a polaroid back .

Several of the sites are on private property. which you will NOT be allowed onto. However.. you may photograph the site from the street

Originally I wanted your mini in the shot,, but decided against it.

My phone number will be included.. and it would be nice to get text's along the way to see where people are. (we might have a roving spotter too ..cant tell you)

The whole thing should take about 2-3 hours,

See you on the 11th of April

Oh  one more thing. There is NO set route on this.. if we get10 cars I didnt want all the cars going to the same place at the same time. You will get an envelope of 8 index cards with the addresses in there in a varied order. You can go in any order you want. but all have the same info

as to who is supposedly going:

JIMINI
Kelley'sToy
Batmini   (paul and Marilyn)
MiniOne (Jackie and my sister Eileen)
BZZZZ (??) (maybe Samantha if she gets a navigator)
Seatrax (Seaspray aka checkers aka Sha & Shea)
Sandy (& Max)
maybe Arnie and Harriet

if all these go.. That only gives us 8 cars.  I did make 15 envelopes..
I see a lot of others signed up for other events.... just don't know why mine don't seem to get more.  so we still have room for at least 6 (or 7) more cars

(ok  we found the Massapequa Satan House.. but neither Sue nor myself wanted to ask the owners.. besides... there is nothing special or historic about it other than it being a "rumoured" and VERY odd house. It would lend itself for more of an oddities run)

[seatrax]

Kellstoy is out......car trouble last night!

[BZZZZ]

 
OK, let's go everyone, the weather is great, platy of sun to take pictures, there is no excuse not to join us at the Photo Oddities scavenger hunt this morning. Be at the Farmingade Bagel Factory before 10am to join us.

Thank you Rob, we really had a wonderful time and the "Oddities" let us learn more about the Island.   It was great to see everyone and meet new MINI friends too. The weather was PERFECT and I can't even complain about the food at Panera!  Kudos to you and Sue. 

[JIMINI]

Had a great day and now looking forward to the Poker Run. Good job Rob, my navigator says thanks too. See you next week. Congrats to Sue. Please place an order for the same type of weather it was perfect.
