[...] You asked for a photo of Ramses the Great and I, and I delivered. Ok, so this photo is more of me than Ramses, but the statue of the Egyptian ruler was a little large to fit into one photo. [...]

About the JCLEVY recording. This item is probably copyrighted. Any of his arts are included. He is a well known photo picture taker. Anyone who tries to slip this threw the system better watch out for the sheriff, maybe even the boundy hunters. Just a little curious, what and why are you collecting these things. Have you started a business called SCAVENGERHUNT?

Hello, my husband's family is having a family reunion in Memphis this July. His cousin his hosting the reunion mainly by herself (she is the only one who lives there). She wanted my help coming up with ideas and planning. I do not live in Memphis nor have I every visited, but I am trying to help her plan something for the meet & greet. I thought about a scavenger hunt. My web search brought me to your blog. I need something more concentrated in one area for tourist. Most event will happenin and around Cental Station. Can you help me with ideas for a list of things that can be found around that area? They can be items to collect and or take picture of. List should be simple but provide a challege. Teams will be no larger than 8 and will consist of all ages, 7-77!

I have a Libertyland workers shirt you can borrow for a pic. I'm also pretty sure I could find a coliseum ticket stub as well. Two for one pic!
