You mean an actual Ice Freezer and not slang for illegal detention, right? If so. Attached File How about your motorcycle and a caboose? Repurposed and no longer on wheels ok. |

It's behind all this equipment. A few years ago I went to explore on my sumo and ran into some homeless.

Attached File Target: Your bike and an actual scuba flag (not sign or sticker, a flag) |

Alternate target: Your bike at a marina with boats and water in view. |

Originally Posted By Requiem: Yeah, most scuba shops have flag flying above or somewhere close to attract attention. That's where I'd try finding one first. Try it. The ones I looked up had vinyl window banners. Originally Posted By Requiem: Alternate target: Your bike at a marina with boats and water in view. I rode to work today. If the weather is good, I'll try after my shift (11pm). Edit: it was drizzling and I didn't want to ride further into the rain. I'll try again in the daytime. |

It's recognizable and it flaps in the wind  New target? (btw @WTFShane I would still LOVE to see a boat marina photo in hawaii if you'd indulge us...) |

@outdoorgb I have an idea for 2025 and wanted to bring it up for discussion with you and everyone here... How about a new method of awarding the winner instead of someone having the most finds because they'd have so much free time? Each find equals one entry in a randomized drawing for the membership prize at the end of the year. This way whoever does not have that much free time can feel more motivated to play along as they have a chance as well as everyone else. Someone posting just ONE find has a chance to win... The more finds, the better odds. btw, I'd gladly contribute a bit to the prize via venmo/zelle/pp for 2025. Maybe with enough people to chip in, the winner can have a higher level of membership on arfcom (and if it's a lifer, they decide who to gift it to). What do yall think? |

You lost me at "winner" I don't care. I will play along when and if I can, but "winning" is so irrelevant to me that I would prefer not to participate at all if that was the motivation. |

outdoorgb's thread - run it how you want the prizes or winning wasn't my motivation. I just like to ride but couldn't go too far from home this year for family reasons. So I played this game and it was a lot of fun It finally got me off the fence on a drone purchase too  Sorry if my enthusiasm and slack schedule decreased people's enjoyment of the thread. We did create an epic target list though  |

Then you can simply decline to receive the prize. No loss, no gain - feel free to participate IMO. It's just continuing the prize theme from 2024. There's currently a prize for the winner of 2024 hunt if you didn't know that. |

I think you can’t post that it’s too hot to ride.  |
