 On
May 4th, 2002, which turned out to be a beautiful Saturday
afternoon, Roadchix hosted our first Scavenger Hunt
and it was a rousing success. 39 people participated
for a total of 13 teams. Unfortunately, due to a family
emergency, Beth wasn't able to make it to the Hunt,
but we'd like to give Terry, Kristy's brother, 2 Roadchix
thumbs up for doing an amazing job helping out.
The
idea behind the Hunt was to show some of the more unusual
hidden aspects of Washington, D.C. that aren't on your
everyday tourist map. We gave each team a list of clues
to 19 different locations. Of these, at least one team
went to 17 of the stops. Once at the stop, a team took
a picture of one of their team members at the item in
question.  We
provided each team with a Polaroid Izone camera which
they were able to keep at the end of the day. Each
stop was worth a particular point value based on the
difficulty of getting there. The first team back to
the starting point with 100 points won.
In
just under 1 hour and 45 minutes the winning team, Cadillac
Ranch, came racing back to Teaism. We asked each team
to name themselves after a Roadside Attraction and below
are the results of the day. We have asked the teams
to write a brief story of their adventures and to send
us their photos. In the next week or two you will be
able to click on the teams and read about their Scavenger
Hunt Journey. |
