I kind'a got this tag the last time it happened, so thought I should leave it for someone else. Of course I'm not really sure where I could find another big thing either.
I forgot we'd already had something along this line. My bad. Game had sat almost a month when I posted my shots last weekend. I was running out of daylight and just grabbed the large gun safe on my way home. It's only about a mile from my house.
Repeats are not necessarily bad. I was the only one who got it last time, so other folks can give it a go this time. Can't expect folks to keep track of every tag category that has ever been used. Then the game more like work and ceases to be fun.
I've been keeping an eye peeled for weeks now, and then remember this local place.... so - grab:
New tag: your bike seen through a structure of some kind. Doesn't have to be a building, maybe a gazebo, or a covered walkway somewhere. Nothing so easy as your carport, though! Has to be covered, as in someone can shelter from the rain.
(If this actually proves difficult, I have an alternate I can use, but surely.........)
Grab...found a couple veteran memorials while riding today. One at a remote cemetery and another at a city park. The second one I couldn't back up far without stepping into traffic.
Grab... "Living Dangerously"...a narrow, curvy, canyon road.... in winter. Does this sign count?
I wanted the sign that was about three curves up, it had the curvy road sign next to the warning that this road is closed from Nov 1 to Mar 1 to vehicles without chains or snow tires. But the ice and snow prevented a safe place to stop for a picture. Do the PR4's count as snow tires? And I don't have a 'biker wallet' with a chain attached...so no chains, definitely living dangerously.
And Tag...... a picture of your bike next to something that appeared in a movie..... in this case it is the High School from the 80's movie 3 O'Clock High...Ogden High School.
Not the best photo of the mill, but they frown on motorcycles behind the fence.
This is the Old Mill in Sherwood, Arkansas. It was featured in the opening credits of "Gone With the Wind."
Opening scene is at
and you can forward to about 1:32 for the mill.
New challenge. How about a pedestrian bridge? This leads from North Little Rock, Arkansas, across the Arkansas River to the Clinton Library in Little Rock. We'll make it easy and accept any bridge limited to pedestrian or non-motorized traffic.
This rather uninspiring bridge is for the 5-Star Bike Rail Trail in Greensburg, PA. Traffic was a bitch and I was on a steep inclined driveway, so it is what it is. The green 5-Star Trail sign is on the power pole.
It's March! Time to ride. I was just giddy today and put in about 200 miles in SW Pennsylvania on the back roads down to Uniontown, then back up through Ohiopyle and rural Westmoreland County. I should have taken a picture of the bike bridge over the Youghiogheney in Ohiopyle.
