"Missing Droid X Real-World Give-Away" Contest (1st Post:Updated)

[jdeveloper]

Come on VEGAS!!!! Post something already DroidLanding. I figure that the Reps that were in seattle are the ones flying to vegas. Flights come in at 10:40am and on till 2:45pm. Alaska airlines has the most flights from seattle. So I'm guessing it will be this afternoon for vegas.

Why hasn't DroidLanding posted anything about the last two today... come on!!!!!

I am the one who found the droid x #15 at Washington Park in Denver. I left my house at 11am thinking the clue would be posted around the lunch time frame. I had a team with me so we could find it (Driver/gps person). We were downtown for 4 hours waiting for the initial clue. When it came out during 5pm rush hour my driver made it down to wash park (since that was the only large park down there) within the 30 mins...i literally jumped out of the car from the street and ran across half the park with my GPS guy looking. Yes, the GPS guy was my dad and the only reason he had it was because I initally had it and had no clue how to use it, the unit said he was within 16 ft and it was pure luck he saw the edge of the envelope sticking out. There were about 30 people running around when I got there....

Yeah I don't doubt vegas is going to be the same. There are alot of people here and the city is pretty easy to navigate. Just wish I had an idea where they were going to put it. The clues have been super vague, totally lame clues for a scavenger hunt if you ask me.

It's more about the PR and then well, the GPS. I mean West Seattle Look Outside? That gives you nothing except to be in the general area.

It's like saying "It's near the vegas strip." LOL oh Ok cause there aren't 15 casinos right there lol.

Bring it on!

Hey folks,

I found the droid # 15 in Denver. My brother was searching droid forums and saw references to me winning....figured I would join and say hey. I just got the moto droid 2 months ago for my wife and I, now I have the droid X.

"Droid X designate #16 is hitting a park in St. Louis! GPS coordinates coming down in 30 minutes."

LOL yeah that's going to be a GPS race. A park... hmmm how many of those are in St Louis lol.

The guy who ran the Denver one said they were flying in to Vegas to run that one today. He also ran the LA search the other day.

Thanks for the tip. From here on out there are only afternoon flights coming in from Denver. 1pm and on. I imagine they could have taken a morning flight though.

However, they did St Louis first so maybe they are doing vegas in the afternoon.... just have to wait and see I guess.

While I was talking with them, I asked if there are only 21 and they both kinda gave a "uuuhh, maybe"

edit**i saw you have navigator.** Look in every nook and cranny on signs, between two signs...cracks in walls..whatever. They do not make these obvious...if you look at my pic for #15, that sign has two side and a small opening between them, they hid the envelope between them. i think everyone walked by until my helper saw the lady pointing her video camera at it.

OH! You're clutch21! Didn't realize! lol

yeah I have different nicks lol. So yeah I re-watched all the videos this morning to see the patterns and they definitely hide it.

If it's in a casino it's going to be really interesting.
