Today Heidi and her friend did the Great Urban Race today. It is a scavenger hunt/race all over town. About 150 people competed. Everyone was given 12 clues and 5 hours to complete 11 of them. The clues were things like a word search to find a location, Lat/longs to find a location, picto-gram to solve... once to got to the place you had an easy task to complete and take a picture. You could use only public transportation. They didn't know the bus routes well enough and ended up walking close to 11 miles. It was really fun! One of the clues was a tic-tac-toe game where you had to do 3 of the 9 items in order. We did -find a dog and shake it's paw, find a stranger that will let you honk their horn and get a picture of you pretnding to jump into a fountain. You had to be in matching outfits or costumes. There were some great costumes! They do this all over the country. There is one in MSP in September. If you can, I would highly recommend trying this. You get to see a bunch of the city and have some silly fun!

Wow! That was some race! Is there a winner? Or just satisfaction by completing the list?
I liked the pictures!
Sounds fun and challenging...were you raising money for a charity?
Looks like you guys had a great time.
Oh I heard about one last year I think it was for the Salvation Army. I would love to do it. The one in Mpls is for the MN Literacy Council. I wonder if Peder and I could find someone to watch the babes?
