Right down to the wire. We have until the 31st of December to get our Moss Motoring Challenge photos in the mail to California, so we are out and about racking up the final few points available to us in the “near” neighborhood. Kershaw County, Florence County, City of Quinby and York County. We also snagged a couple bonus points by taking a picture of a business that had Moss in the name. The photo above will not be my entry, I will submit one of the others taken because of the sort of stupid look on my face in this one.
What happens is we arrive at the photo location, I get out, line up the shot I want and hand the camera to my able bodied assistant. I then go pose in the spot I think I should be standing in and wait. Because I almost never know when the photo is actually being taken I often end up with an odd look on my face or my normal unsmiling one.
Tomorrow we head further west and north to fill in the last three spots on the National Park ledger of the contest. The spots don’t have to be actual National Parks, just sites run by the NPS, so we will get Kings Mountain National Military Park, Cowpens National Battlefield and then the Blue Ridge Parkway. Fortunately for us you don’t have to go on or in them either, as the two Revolutionary War sites are closed for the Christmas Holiday and aren’t open until Saturday. And the Parkway goes in two directions from the closest to us entry and both of them go the wrong way from where we want to go at that point, so all we will be doing is getting photos of the signs at the entrances.
When we swapped drivers just outside Bishopsville I noticed that the Emperor’s odometer read 147002.
