The result a strange one. Sounds like something to do for a church outing.

I assure you though fair reader, this scavenger hunt will be much much more interesting than what you are picturing.
Okay, so this one may seem like a cop out, because it only says Organize. Truth is this scavenger hunt will go on for a month so this weeks challenge is merely to get it set up.
Though the nature of blog reading doesn't really support it, this particular week will be continuously updated with the status as the actual scavenger hunt begins.
So lets jump into it
The RULES
1. Every participant gets to choose 5 of the items on the scavenger hunt list.
2. These items can be as simple as a dog, or as insane as "A mouse riding a cat that's riding a dog"
3. Starting March 1st, all entries from all participants will be compiled into a master list.
4. All participants will have 1 month in which to try to get their photo, or a token of their choosing in front of as many items as possible
The Prize
Because no one does anything for free or fun these days, the winner will get to choose from a variety of excellent prizes.
1. $300 donated to a charity of their choice
2. $300 donated to themselves
3. $300 worth of one grocery item of their choosing
4. A $300 dollar plane/train ticket to somewhere
5. A $300 item from ebay selected at random
6. A $300 bet and any winnings placed on blackjack, or roulette.
7. The winner can forgo the monetary prizes and instead opt to inflict some personal humilation on me the proctor of this event. They can choose some task or thing to do and within reason I will do it, up to and including tasteful nudity or a $300 tattoo that can be easily hidden.
Monday Update
Well the call was sent out on facebook:
The initial results:
Number of Participants: 9
Number of States Involved: 3
We can do better, we'll just need a bigger net. Here is a chance for strangers to meet, motivation to get out and try something new, and most important of all an opportunity to embrace the absurdity of life.
Until then some inspiration:
What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.
Kurt Vonnegut
The absurd depends as much on man as on the world. For the moment, it is all that links them together.
Albert Camus
So this week wrapped up successfully, though it may seem unsatisfactory. The hunt has been organized, people continue to trickle in and join the competition.
I will update this particular posts with the results of the hunt when it begins on March.
