Orienteering photo scavenger hunt
I came across a NY Times' photo scavenger hunt. The idea is to "seek out scenes and objects intrinsically New York and capture them with your camera." It seems like a good idea and an idea that could transfer to other topics...like orienteering.
The New York photo scavenger hunt identified topics like:
Most unusual-looking fruit or vegetable for sale: If it can get through customs, it's somewhere in this city.
Cheesiest Statue of Liberty-related tourist souvenir.
Pedestrian triple-tasking: Someone doing at least three things at once, one of which is walking down the street — plus eating and talking on cellphone; listening to iPod and reading magazine; or knitting and screaming at friend.
Most unusual piece of refuse: A city that collects the strangest things also discards the strangest things, and they don't all fit in a trash bag.
Ideas for O' photo scavenger hunt?
What should be on an orienteering photo scavenger hunt list?
A few possibilities come to mind:
1. Best and worst dressed orienteers 2. Line at the port-potty 3. Group huddled around a map talking about booms 4. Orienteers eating Peeps
There must be some more good ideas. If you've got some, leave them as comments. If I can come up with a good list, I'll put it to use at the next A-meet I go to.
