Like the subtitle says, the photos are grainy because I used my Blackberry for the photos. Al did a great job driving; I guess we cheated a bit since I lived in Tahoe City from 2000 to 2005, and I know the lake pretty well... either way, it was a blast!

31. A Bentley -- what, are you kidding me?!?!

32. Yourself -- this one's kind of a stretch, too. It is my reflection on the window; it looked better on the Blackberry screen!

Thanks again to everyone who had a hand in setting up this great weekend of events. And thanks especially to Computers4Kids (Mark) for giving me a ride from Sactown to Tahoe, Al Weidman for the open seat during the photo rally, and Jake O'Doule (John) for the open seat on Saturday. I hope to see everyone again for WCR 2011!

Wow! 31/32 unless you have a Bentley I didn't see in there. Someone will have to tie or run the table to beat Geoff and Al! But if they do, that grainy blackberry photo thing will hurt you... sad.gif

There was even a '70 914 on the lot. Every car had a sign stating the car was waiting extensive quality restoration and a phone number to express interest. Looks like if you were interested, restoration might start. Al.

The ruling on the faux icicles is as follows: It counts but, if someone comes up with a photo of a real icicle or icicles - the faux icicles melt and you go to 30/32.

You two have an incredible eye. I bet you had fun doing this. biggrin.gif

That 914 has been in that same position as long as I have been going up to Tahoe and noticing 914's which is around 10 years..it hasn't been touched yet and I doubt if it ever will.

Who's going to step up and stomp out the photographic technology invasion? Weidman and Straw are looking to grab the honors with a Smart Phone entry... Hmmm... Did they Google the photo instructions and know just when to shoot??? dry.gif
