Geepers, I am not only late, but late twice.
Here is a cabboose, well, two of them, and a box car, and a coal tender, and an engine,... and a tipple.

All right then, game on.

I don't know if it went national, but this tower is 1/4 of a mile from, Big Tree Park. Home of "the Senator" the worlds oldest cypress tree, that was burnt down by a meth head, back in January.
It was the fifth oldest tree in the world and back in the day a major tourist attraction. Now, sadley the quaint little park is or was a fag tag or pickle park as we call them down here.
For some reason these nice little parks where families took their kids to play and have picknicks, have turned into perverted meeting grounds.
It just make you sad when you think of where this country has become in the last 20-30 years.

No I wouldn't be able to find one around here, they've all been turned into pickle parks. AVOID THE RESTROOMS!
So I picked a local political office. It used to be our Obama central, but after posting the photos i noticed the big poster of Obama has been taken down. It used to creep me out, like big brother stareing at you, like in the movie 1984.

That big empty window in fron of my bike is where the annointed one would stare at you. I could swear his eyes followed you as you drove by.

. Next Tag, old train station depot.

This is one of the two old train depos in town.
Was a Pere Marquette depo, the railroad that had the engine in picture I posted a couple days ago.
http://user.mc.net/~louisvw/depot/grhvn-pm/grhvn-pm.htm
This depo sat abaondoned for years and years. Was a demolition crew hired and on-site ready to start when some one put in an offer to buy it.
Is now a dentist office and an archetectural firm in there.

ANd another old depo. Is downtown next to the river and boardwalk.
Was a Grand Trunk railroad depot. Is now a museam.
http://www.tri-citiesmuseum.org/Train-Depot-Museum.html
The museam includes a exhibit showing what downtown was like in early 1900s. Was something like 12 parrallell set of railroad tracks going to factorys and fishereys and docks and such .... and this depot.

Not per my understanding of the "rules" and the intent.
Suppose to ride and find such after the tag is defined. (when I say rules, I mean what was stated in first few postings and a couple others early on)


Idea is to figure out where can find such and ride to it, not see who has a photo in thier collection.

Would not really know when you went to that place, other than you said it was days ago and we have seen that picture before (both pictures actaully).

Nice GK in vinyard overlooking water. Is some scenes like that about 3 hours north of here in Traverse City area.

When I posted the jail tag a few days ago I already had it from a previous riding game I play a couple of months ago but I didn't use it. I went out to the jail again and took the pic again. Just saying.:p I'm happy either way.
 
I would have to ride through snow and over the pass for over 250 miles to get the shot with vineyards in it. :(

Eric
 
Well I will check before I leave work tomorrow and if it is still the tag I will go take the. Same picture maybe facing the bike the other way and sunshine
 
I will operate on the assumption that you will take another pic, so I accept it as a valid (temp) tag.
Of course, there is a vineyard near me if I can find its entrance, so I have a vested interest. Hehe.

Will you be riding a Suzuki on a Suzuki site to get the tag?

As I understand and have played the game, only photos of same day tags are elegible. That said, the train depot after the political office, is the valid tag, going by origional rules. I do think by concensus there can be some eceptions to repete tags, like the caboose that was used a couple of tags ago. There should be a time frame like at least 6 months before it can be used again, and like it was here, it will need to be completely different. But if someone can post another such item within say an hour or two of the posted time, the second post gets preference. It sucks for someone to make the effort to get a tag to find out they were betten by someone that already use the tag before. Please post input on this.

The train depot posting (#2188) after political office/TrainDepot (#2185) was a picture from 2-3 days prior to the political office (#2185). We know that because we had seen the same picture (#2188) a couple days prior in an other posting. And the poster (NY) was reasonable enough to stated that it was days prior and asked if that was acceptable, so I answered. No, are suppose to find and ride to such a place after. Is a riding game, not a photo archive game.
I am farily non-confrontive, had he not asked I probably would not have said anything.

We do not really have a judge nor a moderator for this.
THe closest thing we have to a judge is the owner of the tag.
Tag remains: Old Train Depot.

(The situation of repeat tags is a different / seperate issue.)

I was agreeing with you. Your's is the valid tag. The train depot is still the tag until it is matched. What I'm trying to clarify is how long it must be between using a tag multiple times. Repete tags are bound to occure, my concern is about being able to grab a tag because it is convient and has been used so reciently that it sticks out without searching. I would suggest that anyone interested in playing search back a little to see what tags have been used reciently. Also like a recient tag for a gambling est., I decided not to use a dog track near me, since I used it as a race track tag about a month before. I do suggest that if someone has to use a repeat tag, that they state that it is a repeat tag and that someone else can get the tag within a couple of hours they will have the right to name the next tag.
