Everything-But-Street-View Scavenger Hunt

The scavenger hunt returns! The last few have been devoted to Street View imagery. This time we'll do everything else but Street View imagery. So Google Maps, and Google 45 degree. Bing maps and Bing Birds Eye View imagery are the viable sources.

Where possible appropriate More Info links must be provided to identify the object.

The Scavenger Hunt will end at midnight Pacific time on Tuesday, March 15.

Good luck and happy hunting!
