Buffalo Scavenger Hunt

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.
