Ditto. Anxious to see the challenges. But of course, it's only Feb 6 and it's nearly 2 months before we can actually DO anything. Oh, and snow in the forecast tonight...

"The Rules" tell me that the Challenges will be released on March 1... I guess that means six more weeks of winter. Yes, I >did< just get done shoveling the drive and sidewalk for the third time this week.

I can't remember when they were released last year but hopefully soon. We have to plan!!"The Rules" tell me that the Challenges will be released on March 1... I guess that means six more weeks of winter. Yes, I >did< just get done shoveling the drive and sidewalk for the third time this week.

Thanks for the heads up! I wasn't going to check again until the 1st. Not as much "easy pickin's" for an Idaho boy this time... this might take some extra mileage for me to score well. Wait, what? Extra mileage?! I'm in for that!
This year's event should be pretty easy to rack up the points since coffee shops are included in the challenges. I already have let the admins know they have one mistake in the Let's Get It On Challenge with Jeff Ament's hometown being listed as Havre, MT. It's not. Big Sandy, MT is his hometown. Havre would have been his birthplace. There is a difference.
Regardless, I don't see myself competing for the top spot so I will go to my normal 1250 points to match the displacement of my RS. However, I am going to up my personal challenge and do all 1250 point BELOW SEA LEVEL. I pretty much have it all planned so it is clear it's very likely to be done fairly early in the event. Hopefully I won't end up 50 points short of the goal.

Not everything, but definitely the coffee shops, and bbq, probably cannons and burros. I only need 25 items to get the 1250 points.What are the odds that everything on the list is underwater?
Death Valley isn't the only below sea level place in California. My couch is 32 feet below, our upstairs rooms are 20 feet below and the places north of me are much lower.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought for a moment you lived in New Orleans. Indeed there are places where one is below sea level but still dry ground.

Anyone know when the rules and list will be available? Also, when should I expect my flag?

Rules and Challenges are up now at
No idea when the flags will get here. Plenty of time for "planning" though.

And in the mail today I received my official certificate and a very nice pin for the 2024 Coddiwomple. To all you folks involved in herding the cats, scoring, sending out replacement flags, and generally providing a great time for us all, I can only say BRAVO and Thank You All Very Much!! (and can't wait to start 2025)

Is there a guide for uploading?
I’ve read the PDF, but I presumed I could upload from my phone/tablet. It wants a link.
What should I use for this purpose? I presume this means I have to upload my photo to a 3rd party then get a link to submit with the challenge.
