Last summer Give Back Cincinnati sponsored a scavenger hunt around downtown. It was all on foot and it was almost as much about stamina as it was about getting the stuff. We had a marathoner on our team, though, and he helped keep us motivated. We ended up winning by five points and going home $200 richer (divided five ways). If you want to see some photos from our exploits there's a gallery at the bottom of this web page.
This Saturday we're taking it back to the streets. This year's hunt is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. It's not just downtown and it's not just on foot so we'll be a little out of our element. Also there are only three of us going (but we'll still have the marathoner). I'm sure it will be fun no matter what happens but it would be nice to win. We could become some sort of Cincinnati scavenger hunt dynasty and people will tell tales of our exploits for years to come!

Cincinnati could certainly use a dynasty...even if it's just the newspaper's scavenger hunt team. I know you'll do your fans proud.
It would be cool if you could get Marge Schott's estate involved in this somehow. Or Larry Flynt.
Shawn, hope springs eternal here as the Bengals get ready to kick off another season. Welcome to the Jungle, sucka!
Josh, I do like the Marge Schott/Larry Flynt idea. They could also throw in Jerry Spring, Pete Rose or Charles Manson. Maybe I'll plan my own infamous Cincinnatians scavenger hunt.
Oh, you're in front of a Lincon statue. That is awesome. I love Lincon. More than one man should love another man.
Trevor - Whatever you do, don't ask her about Thomas Jefferson. You think you love Lincoln? Eileen's got you beat for sure.
Eileen - It's Saturday night...did you win or what? Are you too drunk to post? The world is waiting...
