These things are so used to people you could walk right up to them... But having lived in that area for a good 6 years, I'm not that stupid. And sorry, national park so no easy kill for you hunters out there!

Definitely not an easy one!I'm glad you finally posted a grain elevator picture. I was beginning to think it was going to be another "hard" one like my Drive-In challenge back in the summer .

This will be an interesting challenge! I may have to bust out the tripod and figure out how to set my camera to use a long exposure time. We get quite a few deer at my parents' house but it seems like they wait until it's pretty dark out before getting on the lawn.

Yeah, no roadkill or hunting kills... let's keep it living (at least until the picture's taken)!

No, do it now while the muck is liquid... then you can get that dirty-vibe pic you've always wanted!!! (or a stuck-vibe pic )

I'd love to, but it'd also tear up the yard, which isn't something I want to do. I'll make sure I get it somewhat dirty.

Okay, all this is set up. You're in for a bit of a treat if it goes well. Steve is going to get me into the pasture, and we're going to see if we can get a buffalo up next to the Vibe!

You may recognize the bobsled track from the movie Cool Runnings!Here's my Vibe in front of Center street bridge in Calgary. The opening scene of the 2001 Steven Seagal movie Exit Wounds was filmed on the bridge.

He had a gravel driveway, so I don't think it took too long. If not than any of the gravel roads we drove on last night to get to my grandparents' house in IA should have done it. Thanks!

Since I live out in the country in Germany, it's quick and easy to drive just beyond view of my village and take shots of unpopulated areas. These would have been better this morning though, when all the roads and everything were snow covered. This would have also been good for the challenge awhile back where you had to take a pic of your car in an area where cars are not supposed to be (that's what the sign in this photo means).

OK, the next challenge ... a little harder, but I think most areas can find one. Take a pic of your car with a military monument. Any era, any military unit, but it must have a statue or sculpture of a soldier (or sailor, marine, airman, whatever).

Haha, unfortunately I'm out for this one. According to a list of all war monuments in my province, none of them have statues on them.. Just plaques with names engraved.Edit: If you decide that that would do, I can go out and hunt one down in the next couple days.

Well, OK, let's try a new one. I think there are many locales that have something that would fit this. I hope!Take a pic of your car with a tank, or other military armored tracked vehicle (no army trucks, wheeled armored cars or such - tracked military combat vehicles only). (Visit your local National Guard armory or VFW hall ... or tank museum

I'll go check out the local base sometime in the near future, we'll see if they have anything of the sort
