Here is an example of what you will be sending in every week to the contest email:


Don't be discouraged!  This is a sesquicentennial activity, so there will be plenty of time to build those points up.  Challenge your friends and fellow fans to be the first to make Admiral!  Accepted entries for this first scavenger hunt will close on midnight this Sunday, 8 May 2011.  Scores will be tabulated and published on this blog (along with the second scavenger hunt) the following week.
