Okay Mandi, I considered the pic showing the rr tracks to be a "wild" area based on aerials and the area near the abandoned house to be an urban "nonwild" area. So this gives:
1x dumpster
1x wild/no cush/ upright
2x non upright/urban
2x upright/no cush/urban

Pokey has:
3x Urb/Upright/No Cush
1x Urb/Up/C
4x Dumpster
and 2 pics that I can't tell if they're urban or not, as soon as she get's me the locations for those pics and i check it out i'll announce the winner.
It looks like Pokey's last push brought her within striking distance of Mandi, it may come down to these last two photo's locations.

Sorry I was offline most of this weekend. I have now answered Nic about the locations of my sofas so he should be able to figure the final points soon.

That's ok... Makes for a dramatic wait.
This last push made the points really close. Had those last two pics been "wild" areas Slow would have won by 1 point, but unfortunately for her they were apartments in the city.
Thus Mandi is our winner! Winning the gift card & title!
Here are the final scores:
Mandi - 77 pts
Slow - 68 pts
GC - 26 pts
Redox - 15 pts
Congrats Mandi! Check your msg for prize collection details.

Woot! Thanks for hosting this little scavenger hunt Nic. It had been quite a while since we'd done the last one. Of course now that I'm back in the habit, it will take me a while to stop looking for sofas at every dumpster I pass.
Congratulations Mandi!

Yay! Good job everyone! Thanks for the 'grats.
I was thinking it would be cool if we do sort of a hide and seek thing. Kind of like geocache, but for UE. It would have to be area specific, I'm sure, but it could be fun! |

Just like the first time I participated in this contest, I find myself actively searching for street sofas for months after the damn thing is over with.
Lol, so annoying.

FYI:
The next one is set for the whole month of May. A time when they are a plenty near college dorms and the like.
Also, City & dumpster couchs felt they weren't given fair share last time, so the point structure will be simpler.
And the challenges will be weekly rather than weekends, to give more people more time to try doing them.
