Urban Hikers' Scavenger Hunt

It's time for the second annual Urban Hiker's Scavenger Hunt.
Please read below carefully.

Meeting place: Francisco Park at the picnic tables if available or the concrete benches near the restroom if the tables are not available.

Meet 4 pm, Start Scavenger Hunt 4:30 pm
Neighborhoods: Russian Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, Marina, and possibly Telegraph Hill or Cow Hollow.
Teams of 4 people, and 12 Clues/Locations
A paper list of Clues/Locations to be distributed to each team at 4:30
Regular walkers with our group are encouraged and prioritized to participate and will have an advantage in figuring out some of the clues.

We would like the game participants to be walkers who regularly have done walks with us. If not enough people in that category sign up, we will open it to others. So sign up by putting your name on the wait list and we will move the regular walkers to the join list. Anyone from the wait list can come and hang out with us or be a stand by if someone a team late cancels. The scavenger hunt team players will be on the actual attendee list.

Must be back at start point at 6:15 for judging and prizes.

Each team must go to the site directed by the clue in each section and take a selfie of all 4 team members visible, and the location clearly visible. All selfies must show team member faces unless otherwise noted on the clue. The judges will determine if you have found the correct, intended location and selfie acceptability.

Prizes, some admittedly silly, for the first team to return with acceptable selfies for all 12 clues, or whoever gets the most, if no team gets all 12.
No cheating with vehicle transport (no Uber, taxi, MUNI etc). Also, we'll have prizes for the best team story, told MUNI diary style.

We will have a picnic style after gathering at the start point while we judge and give out prizes. If it's good weather we will just have the picnic. If bad weather, we will have a quick picnic and have an indoor gathering to follow.

Participants can bring picnic items to leave with the judges while they are on the hunt or give money to judges to buy items for the picnic. Judges will go to TJ's while the hunt is going on to buy provisions.

Please note: Phone help is not available for latecomers. If you are late it is very hard to catch up with us. We walk at a medium pace. Escorts or sweeps are not provided, so slower walkers should be completely prepared to finish the hike on their own if they become separated from the group, and they may want to consider bringing a friend to walk with them. I reserve the right to make small changes to the route as needed.
