Hmmm...Not sure if this is spot on but technically we are minus a MINI at this point (not counting the people that left later in the day).
Didn't Mike & Teresa arrive in seperate MINI's at the start of the day?
I noticed at the Alpaca Farm as they got into the same MINI but thought nothing of it until this picture.
Am I close? Is that the reason for that shifty "Don't follow Larry, stay with the group" words spoken by Daryl?

BTW XLENT photos Daryl & Gary.

Nope, you're still cold. Nothing that abstract. It's something(s) that should specifically be seen in the aforementioned pic -- but are not.

Great pictures one and all. Had a wonderful time. Thanks Daryl! Can't figure out what's missing in Gary's photo. We thought it might be Daryl's 8 ball decal, but we think that is Brian's white car in the photo. Denny says the resonator is missing on Mike's car.

Nope and nope. Something a bit more odoriferous...

That clue got me thinking about horse pucky, which is certainly missing, but still... it's got me stumped.

Bingo! I photochopped out two big horse droppings on the gravel drive (you can see them next to the MINIs in David's pictures). The gravel makes a great backdrop for clone stamping in "replacement" gravel. You'd never know those piles were ever there.

Mike and Daryl win the prize! Now I have to figure out what it is.

I don't know why this is so funny to me, but this is so funny to me
This should be a scene in a movie.

Thanks for giving me a good laugh, David, and thanks for the wonderful pictures. Good work!

If your going to have a "What's missing in this picture?" game...you need to have two pictures to compare.
I want my money back.
The Park & Recreations Board and the Better Business Bureau are going to hear about this.

Aerial Pictures

Here is the link to the un-retouched pictures, straight out of Perry's camera, to you. Thanks for being willing to spring for this!

Maybe our EIM leader could kindly put the link in the next edition of the newsletter for those who don't look at this forum.

Some of these are GREAT!

You must not have come close to stepping in it, or it would have been burned into your memory.

The check's in the mail...

Agree! Cool pics. Didn't realize he'd snap so many pics to choose from. We'll get some of these up on the website soon and will share the link in the next monthly update.

I especially like the one where we're spread out along the full length of the runway.

I don't remember seeing that lion...

Wow! The pictures from everyone are great! I obviously missed a fabulous day Daryl is an amazing event planner!!! I really wish there was some video out there-especially of David's Wild Ride It is just so, so sad that there was no Purple Haze Metallic color in the mix

I swear-NOTHING will keep me from the next meet! (knock wood)
