How to complete the PHOTO CHALLENGE #BEARNECESSITIES 

This week’s photo challenge requires you to take a photo of the Ford Focus RS 2009 at the Farid Rueda Bear Mural in Playa Azul.

Located on the East Coast of the map, this mural can be found directly to the north of the dirt road next to the Playa Azul Circuit Road race.

An easy way to find it is by heading north from the race icon, drive past the dirt road and turn into the next unmarked road on the left side. The mural should be located on the yellow and white house on your right.
