Last year we heard about this amazing event called the Buffalo Scavenger Hunt. It's just what it sounds like, a scavenger hunt, but for adults. Our friends Gavin and Joe have won the hunt the past two years in a row. They made it look like so much fun so we decided to give it a go. The teams are made up of four people, so besides me and James, we had Danielle and her boyfriend Jeff on our team. It was on a Saturday from 12-5pm. You think that 5 hours would be plenty of time, but when 4:30 was rolling around we were scrambling. It was definitely not enough time. At noon we were handed a list with about 200 items on there. The items were listed in different groups: Entire team pictures, one team member pictures, stranger pictures, items, trivia questions. The pictures were pretty straight forward but the items and trivia questions were a bit more difficult. Some of our "items" included a receipt for $.23, an ATM receipt with a bank balance of $20.10, a butter buffalo, a potato with BSH carved into it, a necklace made of "stuff" along the way, a turnip, a bouquet of weeds, etc... I wish I would have kept the list, these items were hysterical.
