I had a TON of fun on last night's scavenger hunt run. About 180 people turned up, despite rain and severe winds/thundershowers (gotta love Portland!). The organizers showed us a map with locations listed. We had to jot them down, then get to as many places as possible, collect raffle tickets, then make it back to the run store within an hour. The faster you ran, the more places you could get to and still make it back. The farther the location (or the more elevation you had to gain to get to a location ) the more raffle tickets you'd collect at that particular location.

Jeff & I ran 5 miles, and collected 13 tickets each. One of the locations was WAY up Vista, a steep, long climb. I had to walk some of that. But hey, it was worth 3 tickets!

I seem to be raffle-lucky lately. The last 3 times I've been someplace with a raffle, I've won something each time! Last night I won a $25 gift certificate to Title9. Which is a little like giving honey to a honeybee....
