The water was there. Just kind of a self feeding pool. It's the water wheel saloon and deli in norco,ca. I didn't get to go in seeing as how they don't open till 5. But since tdci asked......

See here's the problem. That's been done. It's hard to remember the 134 things that have been completed and usually by the time you go through the list to find out somebody already completed the challenge.
I say we just go with the flow and if a challenge is a repeat so be it, as long as it's a new picture.

P.s. No motocross tracks near anybody? I have four in driving distance. I just wanted to let someone else have some fun.

Agreed, or why not just look through the completed (or not completed) challenges at anytime and just head on out and get as many pics as you want, just keep the current (or a new one) challenge posted at the bottom of your pics.

YOUR VW AT A MCDONALDS or YOUR VW AT A MOTOCROSS TRACK

I believe the motocross one has already been a challenge, as was the water wheel before it (I submitted 2 pics with a water wheel but one was used to complete a different challenge). I was just trying to get it rolling again.

Screw all of it... Laughing Im up for a challenge.. forgot, repeat or not.. I got this handled ... To--Day

Triple completion.. Motocross, McDonald's, Bikini.. BOOM!



Private Motocross (Bikini)

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.




Non franchise McDonald's (Bikini)

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Check check.... (double check Bikini) . and.... Done...

Sad to say it's the first time we've had our Coppertub out all year.. happy to say.. the challenge enticed it enough to happen... (which is the point of the topic)
Plus had to make a quick grocery run.... so opportune time..



IMO.. odd unique challenges are fun... if it becomes the same ole VW photo topic..... what's really the point.. ? Anxious

If you can not complete it.. dont complain about how tough it is... be patient.. .. some of us have a life.... Laughing

I'll suggest .. to help keep it current and alive..... maybe come up with two challenges per next added challenge.
One easy, one unique (odd) . .. Kind of like the The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show endings..
Laughing
That way its a challenge choice and it may keep the topic rolling along quickly.
If the unique one is not completed simply roll it forward and apply it to the next challenge adding the easy along with it always and keeping only two. .
Not my topic.. not my rules.. just a suggestion..

For now..

I'll make the next so easy.. no one "should" complain about it

Next Challenge
Your VW surrounded by trees (live) in the woods or forest (not gump)
* Bonus points no pavement or road in the picture..
** Extra Bonus points in a tropical rain forest.

I'm not sure what it was about those pictures ... but that was the best challenge find(s) ever! Laughing

In the trees, thousands and thousands beautiful trees! A couple of weeks ago my son and I had to clear trees from where our bus is just to get off the road. So many trees!

DAMMIT Ken! I just had it packed with family for my daughters graduation & didn't get a pic. I'll have to get a pic the next time I get stopped by a cheerleader squad wanting to get pics with it (it's happened multiple times). Good to see you back!

You know I really like the Idea of having an easy challenge and a unique one. If the easy is completed the hard rolls forward to next and vise versa. If you somehow complete both at the same time/day then come up with the next one for each (easy and hard).
I think it would definitely give it some added life to the thread and give people options.

Although I am the originator of the thread, like many I have a life but am also military so my free time is rare. I would prefer this thread be a community thread where there isn't just one person that decides/judges/has the final say.
I envisioned it being a majority rules for the final say. **Only exception being that the picture cannot be an old one and must be new and completed after the challenge was posted.**

Current challenge
Easy- (Not completed yet) .. YVW with your favorite team (or a) sports Jersey.
Hard- Your VW near a swamp, bonus points if your ride is in the swamp (double bonus points if its a trailer queen).

Just trying to keep the chain of command... sir.. Wink (Thank you for your service Applause )
As far as Im concerned it's a done deal, but Ill conform to the mass choice.. on this at least


The easy one should be the Jersey though.. Anxious
I dont do the sports thing..


Current challenges
Easy: (Not completed yet) .. YVW with your favorite (or any) team sports Jersey.
Hard: Your VW near a swamp, bonus points if your ride is in the swamp (double bonus points if its a trailer queen).



Important NOTE to all.... Just remember... always apply the one challenge NOT completed from the last forward..

Nicely done cali, but the car filled challenge has already been completed & the team jersey challenge is an old incompleted challenge.
