I hope we see a leader board soon, if it isn’t too much trouble. I don’t know if I’m nailing it with my submissions or seriously behind other rally participants.
I am truly enjoying this rally. The somber moments when you stand in front of an airplane memorial, or look down the symmetrical rows of white marble tombstones at a national cemetery, or the frustration of not finding a town sign or anything indicating the town you are on, or the joy of finding one or more war plaques or a bonus town location that falls in your rally path!
There will be "leader board" type reports, but not for a while yet. When we started this project we committed to building a registration and scoring system which did not exist. That has taken a while but we are in final beta testing and it's clear this system will be worth the effort. However, we do have a bit of backlog processing submitted messages. Once we get on top of that, we'll post some current totals.

Might I enquire what 'bonus bucket' this photo represents, Enzo500?
Don't see a Humpty Dumpty no wheres, and the GS is resting comfortably on the sidestand....
Mind U, it appears to be a charming picture of 60's Americana...
We'll be CoddiWomplin our way toward Montana in just two weeks.

I also am curious what this Coddiwomple scores?
I made a serious error in not registering my spouse in this rally. Our trips now consist of my saying "one more rally site.....ppllleaaaasseeee?????"
Our road trips now consist of taking every minute I can fit in for a rally site. Wondering where everyone is sitting for their points? I've hit a lot of sites so far, and loving it.

The Coddiwomple Registration is still open, and will be into the summer. So, you can register your wife if you would like.

Boxflyer and I just spent bits and pieces of 3 weeks riding 3700 miles to get 10 of my 15 letters for the Platinum Challenge. We only took one pic together, because Boxflyer had already completed his challenge in 3 days on the east coast. Ahem. Here are our bikes in Adams, OK.
After that, we found it quicker to have Boxflyer take the pic using my phone, while I tried to hang on to the increasingly tattered number plate while the winds whipped us. Here we are in Rhame, ND when the ambient temp was 104F and the winds were 30+ mph.
Only 5 states to go! I needed to mount my new set of Bridgestone T31's before the last sortie. They should last me for the rest of this venture. Boxflyer started with new T32's, and he shredded them during the 3700 miles we rode together... no reflection on the quality of the tires... Boxflyer is hard on rubber.
I still think that those of us in the west should get a bonus!

If that's an entry for your platinum it won't count. There's no state in that picture. If you read the rules, you have to have photographic proof of both the city and state in order for it to count for the platinum challenge.

Good Eyes bstran!
You’ve saved his bacon so he has some time for a Mulligan!
You really should read & follow the rules (Team Strange are indeed sticklers for following Rules!)…
Stopped for the evening in Kamiah, ID (on our CoddiWomple). Bikes think it’s 107 in the sun.
Ciao, HSV-Phil & HSV-Karen

Yep, too late for me, which is why I mentioned it in hopes that he has time to scramble and get one to replace it. Of the ones I took on the way to Great Falls for the Platinum challenge, only one would count (The post office at Neihart, MT had its mailing address on their sign). 107! Been there. Once drove to Phoenix from Hoover dam and got to the hotel in 113 degree dessert heat and it wasn't even summer yet..

This guy strikes me as a tough one.
My reading of the rules for the eggscellent challenge would say that brands don't count. But I'm not an official judge.
