starting to worry a little, as I'll be on vacation the first week of April...Mine arrived today in Southern California not sure where you are, but it seems like they are definitely still being delivered.

Just my opinion but if you’re not riding to the rally, there’s little point to even participating this time due to the way that you earn points is structured.

Yeah, I noticed that it seemed to be heavily oriented in that matter. And unlikely to be able to squeeze in a trip to most of the challenges with my existing travel plans. Still hoping to rack up enough points via breweries and maybe some of the mountain men.
I completely agree. I qualified today with 450 points. I should have stopped at 300 but I went to 500 knowing I likely would get a rejection, and I did. My pic of a elongated bell, not like the Liberty bell shape, is probably getting rejected. That is fine. I don't intend on going to the Rally nor do I see myself in Oregon this summer. I will not collect a bunch of brewery pics for personal reasons so that Challenge is eliminated from the mix as well. There are lots of El Camino Real bells around where I live but those too represent a very dark past that I am not going to find benefit from for my own stupid gains.
So for this year, I crossed the finish line on the first day of the Coddiwomple. I'll be at the bottom of the final list but I was near the top at the beginning. All good by me.

I agree with this and since I won't be at the rally, I've chosen not to register again this year. I don't have any personal issues with visiting breweries, but what's the point if I'm on the bike and can't sample the wares. I enjoyed last years challenge - my first time - but as the season went on I found myself less motivated to go out of my way or to stop in the middle of a great ride to get pics for the challenge.
My expectation of the first rejected submission has been confirmed for the exact reason I expected - bell shape. The bell in the pic wasn't shaped like the Liberty Bell. Oh well. It is the last rejection for this Coddiwomple since it's the last submission I will make. I'm not being passive aggressive, I'm simply not interested in any of the Challenges that could get me to a desired total point place as I have done the past two years. I qualified on day one. I'm good with that!

Yeah, that is really the only one of the challenges that is going to be useful for me in generating points. And I don't drink, so no interest in visiting breweries whether I'm on my bike or otherwise. They are really nothing more than photo ops for me.
I suppose there is an off-hand chance I might spot a bell, a cougar or one of the mountain men names. Unlikely though.
