3rd Annual DC Metro MINIs Scavenger Hunt to Benefit the Wildlife Rescue League

[TGGRRR (Ali)]

I can help out if needed.

 

 

thanks Jim

 

I forwarded you the sponsorship letter that I use to get raffle donations. Can you help with that?

 

We'll probably need some help with scoring at the end too

[Poison Ivy]

I need a partner who's in it to win! Geno will still be in FL.

so the end point is a public house #7 i see so would like i be able to come hangout with everyone after work because i get off at 430 or is it only if you are doing the scavenger hunt. i guess what i am trying to see is it like a may dinner?

[Poison Ivy]

Yes we'll be a Public House for a while as the lists are scored. Plus there's raffles there too.

We will be at Public House until around 6-6:30 at least. You do not have to participate in the scavenger hunt to come to Public House. Since it's a charity event, we will be having a raffle for some pretty cool prizes, so the more people who come out the better!

Chris,

We've had folks come to the end point to hangout. We can also use help with the final tabulating for the event if you'd like to get in touch with Laura - she can let you know if she still needs help and if your timing will be right for that.

[GreenCactus]

I just set up a separate event for the happy hour following the Scavenger Hunt. Please RSVP there if you are only attending the happy hour. It's very important that I know how many hunt participants we have.

Is there any sort of formatting on the memory card that is preferred?

[TGGRRR (Ali)]

Just make sure you start with an empty one.

 

No cell phone pictures please

[GreenCactus]

As of right now, there are only 6 teams/cars signed up. I know some of you out there are on the fence... come on... Saturday is supposed to be a beautiful day! What could be more fun than supporting wildlife rescue will driving your MINI?

[FAST060]

I heard there might even be a REAL BEAR at PMoA to see us off!

:vroom:

Uh oh....

[cmcveay]

Sorry Laura - this usually takes us into D.C. so I can't "protect" you...

[FAST060]

Oh, never mind. He said the Dragon traffic is lookin to pretty light this weekend so he'd rather visit US 129 than see us off! Maybe we can get some DC Squirrles to swing by!

[GreenCactus]

I've made a couple of changes this year that I think will help make the scoring go faster at the end.

 

In the past, each clue was worth a different amount of points based on the location or difficulty of finding it. This year, each clue is worth 1 point and there are 100 clues. That will eliminate the need to check the math several times.

[TGGRRR (Ali)]

I'm still working on more raffle prizes. I just scored a few pounds of coffee from Starbucks. I also have

CarbonMINI Chimex

some products from Prima Car Care

a $25 gift certificate for Foxfire restaurant in Alexandria

A $25 gift certificate for the Exxon in Annandale

A $25 gift certificate for a wine shop in Reston

 

Also - Craig and I are donating a photography session of your MINI including an 8X10 print of your choosing. It will be like the Glamour Shots that we did at the Dragon.

I believe I will be participating, just checking with the "boss" tonight. My mom might ride along with me, as well.

 

I am trying to get EmilyR (new member, just joined, also IRL friend) to come with someone, as well!

Anyone know of a car wash place around Passport? Bird poop all over the bonnet, discovered it this morning

Passport will wash it for you, but it's a pretty rough car wash. There's a touchless wash at the Sunoco station on Gallows Rd in Merrifield and also at the Sunoco station on Rt 7, next door to Public House.

 

I'm washing Cricket tomorrow night, if you want to come into DC, I'd be happy to wash yours, too.

 

Otherwise, I usually have a small detailing kit in the car. You could use the quick detailer spray to get the worst off.

Eh, I try to avoid the dealer washes, just ends up making things worse sometimes. There was a mention of a Shell in Baileys XRoad for self-serve, just don't know if it's still there. I have soap/drying towel/detailing spray/etc so I just need water . The Sunoco near Public House may be my last resort.

So my MINI will be packed! Got the wife, my mom, and my sister to join me! Game on! :motor:

If anyone needs a camera let me know, I can charge up the old Olympus and offer it as a loaner.

I also have an extra camera, if someone needs one.

 

If you have one, a clipboard will be extremely helpful for you to have. I think I have a couple of extra ones, but I'm not sure.

[TGGRRR (Ali)]

I have some clipboards that I can bring to loan out.
