Got 5 more items on my second attempt, bringing my total to 24.
Sunrise (20). Bit gloomy today.
A friend (21) in a Santa hat (22). Begrudgingly.
Mismatched socks (23) and tracks in the snow (24). I am going to guess they are fox tracks.

Turkey in 3 preps.
Hat hot off the needles, knitted from my hand spun merino.

Thank you! He’s a cutie for sure.
There’s no way I can compete with such dedication and creativity. But when in doubt, read the rules very, very carefully. 
We’ll see just how far a batch of peanut butter cookies gets me!
Hope you like them, @heathercobb3, and thanks for organizing all this!

Here we go! I didn’t get all of them, but how fun the bonanza was! (Thanks @dianahackett for the fantastic word!)
Neighbor’s mailbox - more of my favorite bird!
Discarded pumpkins in the ditch.
No “true” speed limit signs on my road, and I didn’t have time to go elsewhere, so here’s a “suggested” speed limit sign.
I think this young cow was loose.
Turkey written on the sign.
Kit Kat fueling.
I realized today that this is my only piece of FLRC logo/apparel! Gonna have to change that.
Sunset.
Outdoor holiday lights.
Deer and an outdoor decorated tree. I had a worse picture of a tree, until I looked at this and realized this also includes one!
Wreath
Mismatched socks. Didn’t realize until I took the pic that they were the same as last time, whoops!
Flag - I think this might be a private family cemetery.
Weird giraffe statue made out of wood. Another flag in the background.
Snowmobile TRAIL signs.
Hoofprints.
Neighbor’s garbage can.
Run in a hat and a creek.

Hi all…here are my contributions for this week. First, my favorite bell, which is this one above the pond at the Cornell arboretum. Second, a (rein)deer in front of a decorated tree on Ellis Hollow Creek Road.
I hope we can do this again. It has been more challenging than you might expect for me to participate for various reasons, but a good challenge. And it has really made me smile to see what people come up with.

Last lot! The only thing I really couldn’t find was a menorah, but I had so much fun anyway! Thanks again for organising it @heathercobb3 - it has been fun on the runs and great fun seeing everyone’s photos.

A turkey (20) - still no joy with wild ones for me, so this time I present the low-tech bird ID option, courtesy of Nat Geo’s ‘Field Guide to the Birds of North America’:
Running with a friend (21) - the same friend as last time, but this time mid-stride:
And here she is again, modeling her exclusive FLRC dog fleece (22):

Trio of bins (25):
Cow! (26)

And that’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who participated in any capacity for my first virtual event! I had a ton of fun, and I hope we can hold these in the future, maybe during a different time of the year so we can find other unique items.
Out of the 12 participants for the final week, 3 of you were able to find all 31 items! Wowza! And 10 found the special bonus of the bell. You are all amazing scavengers, but the below 3 come out on top for week 6:
This week’s “race director’s choice” is going to @apacheck for the fun tour of Lights on the Lake! Special shout out to @sryan004 for all the great pics of his running companion.
The above participants will have their names entered into the drawing - stay tuned for the winner announcement, which will e linked here once it is posted.
If you have any questions, please feel free to DM me.
