North American Wild Card Moto-Tag Game

Here you go Fred



I could email the mega size if you want.

Maybe another adventure could be made of this. For the locals like me around all the Va battlefields, memorials, D.C., Race horse country, etc, maybe people could request remote vacations. Suggesting places, (that they don't have time or money to visit), for one of the locals to take a picture tour of. Would definitely bring new purpose to the places they see often.

Here ya go, Fred:

We have boatloads of stone bridges in the MD/DC/VA area, including battlefields and aqueducts. I'll try to get what is left of one of the bigger aqueducts on the way to work this morning, as most people have no idea what the remaining stone structure is.

I like MtnHighs idea.

 

[ionbeam]

...Wish I didn't have to wait two days. I have some really sweet (antique but still in daily use) dry stone bridges I could show you. Got any closeups of that sign about your bridge? Would be interested to see it.

I have a feeling Fred will be taking us to Gleason Falls or another location along the Beard River.

 

[Fred W]

Yeah, that was one of the places I had in mind, Alan. One of a few really cool spots around New England where I feel a certain vibe about the past life and times here. It probably doesn't come through in a photo as well as in person, but your photos are always significantly better quality than mine.

Since it's highly unlikely I will get around to grabbing this tag, I'll go on...

The significance of the Gleason's Falls bridge (in ionbeams photo) and the other remaining bridges in Hillsboro, NH, is that they are dry-stone masonry bridges (no cement used to bind the stone work), and most of them are still structurally sound and in vehicular use today. Hillsboro's Bridges

But not as historically cool as mtnhigh's bridge. I do love me some history with my photo tags.

 

[Checkswrecks]

Alan

Nice shot. I am assuming that it was not the grabbed photos since there is no bike. If that's the bike behind the trees then you got it.

Otherwise, we can't ride into DC without passing stone bridges somewhere. Here is the grab with the Memorial Bridge that goes from the Lincoln Memorial to the Arlington Cemetery.

[Fred W]

Checks, you got it.

I can tell you that Alan's photo shot was taken last fall (note the fallen foliage strewn all about) when I dragged a group of our NERDY friends down the dirt roads out to Gleason's Falls Bridge on a day ride, to show 'em what I dun found in my wandering around.

A new tag is definitely in order!

 

[Checkswrecks]

An airport with less than 20 airplanes. Preferably with flight instruction!

 

[RacinRay]

I thought the tag was changed to beaver themed campgrounds?

 

[Fred W]

No, it was an optional tag. Checks got it with the stone bridge, We can re-use the beavers later if you get a chance.

But, damn. I just went by one of these today on the bike. One (exactly) airplane on the field in Hawthorne-Feather Airpark on the Hillsboro / Bennington line.

I was temped to go out on the airstrip and do a 1/4 mile "test"!

 

[mtnhigh]

I guess it depends on where you live. While the historic sites we have around Checkwrecks and I are interesting to you, I find the engineering of bridges in Freds area to be cool as well. I do appreciate what we have, but I have access to them all the time, which makes them less inticing then the sites in other states.

 

[Fred W]

That is true. Grass is always greener... and all that.

It's part of what makes games like this fun, seeing some different stuff to ride and find.

 

[Checkswrecks]

Then tag an airfield and make the new tag what interests YOU!

 

[BkerChuck]

Managed to get a few pictures on Sunday at a small local airfield but couldn't find a suitable follow up tag. If I can find a new tag to post I'll post the pictures.

 

[user 213]

Grab - Airport with less than 20 planes.

This is the closed St George, UT municipal airport, currently with only one plane left.

New tag - A selfie with your bike, must be a reflection, not just camera held at arm's length.

 

[Old Guy]

Ha! Well done and good idea

 

[Fred W]

No sense reflecting too long on this one...

From "Small Tubes" to "Small Cars". Go find a Kart track. [edit] ...or a small lighthouse.

 

[Fred W]

Test... test... is this thing on? Did I break it?

Prior tag modified to help move things along (I thought Go Kart tracks were pretty widely available)

 

[user 213]

I have a cart track not too far away, but have just been too busy lately to go ride and get tags.

Bike is apart now for some clutch modification.

I'll go get the cart track tomorrow if nobody beats me to it. I can't guarantee go carts on it, but I did find a track. Unfortunately, I was in a car.

 

[Old Guy]

OK. I couldn't get close enough to the track from the parking lot to get a good photo, so I parked on the road. And since it was very close to raining, there were no riders. But will this work?

And the new challenge:

A sign with a name that can be related back to a board game. For instance, Col Mustard of "Clue." We can grant a lot of latitude on this, so it should be relatively easy. Try not to take too many liberties here. For instance, "Park Place" is fine. "Park Street" would be too loose.
