So, to add a little extra spice to <a href=\"http:\/\/bakkerbugle.com\/blog\/2008\/11\/20\/the-caption-contest-rules\/\">the photo captioning contest<\/a>, we are thrilled to offer a bonus phase called Guess the Number Taken!\u2122 The person who guesses closest to the actual number of photos taken by Will and Anita from Saturday morning to Monday night will win the prize: 200 points toward the caption contest.<\/p>\n<p><em>You heard that right &#8212; 200 bonus BuglePoints\u2122.<\/em> You may only submit one guess of the total number of photos taken by both Anita and Will during the three day trip. Please post your guess as a comment to this post. Guessing will close in seven calendar days.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with your guess! While you are guessing, we&#8217;ll be working on creating <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/willbakker\/sets\/\">photosets<\/a> of an appropriate size for viewing on Flickr.
