YOUR VEHICLE WITH A DRIVE THROUGH ARCH GATE
I'm visualizing the sort of gate at the entrance to some cemeteries, ranches, etc... some are simple wood or steel pipe, some are elaborate brick... kind of like this:]

To get the game synced back up and back to one current challenge, I am taking
@ MeefZah
’s challenge of an arched gate. This is my 4Runner-like vehicle under one of the entrances to the first place I lived when I left home back in the ‘80s.
New challenge: I defer to

Wow! It got quiet all of a sudden. Guess I'm gonna have to do the water crossing too. I mean, it's not a 4Runner but it ain't afraid of getting wet.

Here’s my 4Runner-like vehicle approaching a water-crossing that was part of series of small creeks and puddles on this trail. I know the challenge said “in a water crossing” but it was 35F and I was only wearing tennis shoes and didn’t want to get my feet wet.
Next challenge: Your 4R/etc parked in a Tesla/EV charging spot. Just for the picture... not while shopping or to protest anything.

Ha ha!

No water crossings near me, but there are shittloads of EVs around here. Hope I can find a vacant charging spot.

Next up, your truck with a local steak place. No chains.

Don't you mean Taco place? Nice Tacoma. Anyway, I've got THE steak place in mind if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Here I am at a local steak place in South Knoxville. It has been here for decades and kind of a local landmark. I’ve never been there other than for this pic. I’ve heard it’s expensive and mediocre at best.
Next challenge: Let’s stick with the food theme. Your ride at THE best hamburger joint in your area. Again, no chains, preferably a legendary burger place.

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO PLAY THIS GAME! Anyway, bear with the Jeep for a bit. I was at the Toyota dealer again today so we'll see what happens.

Good challenge. But I’m discovering that every good burger joint around me I’d consider to be a “chain”. Even if only a chain of three stores.

That's different. I was trying to avoid McDs, Hardees, In & Out, etc. If you like the burgers and they're that limited, where's the pic?

This place opened just about three months ago. Brew City Grill. I had to try it out in the name of research. Burgers, pizza, beer. 20+ brews on tap, 40+ in bottles. Plus wine and cider.
The burgers are excellent.
Campbell CA.
New Campbell restaurant now open at Alvin's Corner
Next Challenge: Food theme again. Your ride at a Middle Eastern type restaurant. Falafel, gyro, kabobs, etc.

You were on Chapman Hwy! I've heard the same about Ye Olde Steak House, not been there myself. Well there's at least one more local on the forum I know of.

Yep, I've been on here for a long time. For some reason this past year I got the Jeep bug again and bought my "dream Jeep". It's great but the 4Runner ruined me and I really miss it. I sold it back in November but wish I had held onto it. Now I'm looking at wasting a lot of money and going back with a '20 ORP that I ordered yesterday. You may have seen my old one around since you are local.

Very possible, only been a local 3 years now moved from Western NC. Love the idea of this game. Is the current challenge still a middle eastern restaurant?
