Riding Game

[gsrick]

Here is what is left of our local fire tower. Its a pitiful state of affairs since it was closed three years ago. It was dismantled since vandles and druggies used to break in and climb it. No its used by one of the local business for radio transmission.(Waste Management CO.) Is it acceptible for the tag?

[trevor]

Yes. in my opinion it does.

[gsrick]

Next tag if the last one is acceptible is a local political office. I had Hannity cranked up on the sterio when I took these.


You never see any activity around there, and it looks like they took down the Obama poster they had in the second window. I wonder if they know something?

[DanTheMan]

Sure, it'll do. I can recognize it as a has been fire tower, looks just like ours, just missing the shelter on top.

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 *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$ 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. Its just make you sad when you think of where thiscountry has become in the last 20-30 years.

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.


So tag is unchanged,
"local political office"

It certainly does!

But the Libtards want EVERYONE to be gay! What is wrong with YOU!???
You are just not right.

What's the next tag? Avoiding being in a gay park?

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.

[7981GS]

Perhaps they took it down to instal the NEW one?...

[Redman]

Ottawa County Republican party office in Holland MI.
Humm .. has Ron Paul sign in lower corner (my windshild obscuring it mostly.)




. 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.

[ny_redneck04]

next tag

maybe the guys on the west coast can use this one if the depot pic is accepted.picture of vineyards with the lake in the back ground but i would accept just the vineyards

[Redman]

this was taken sunday does this count??

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.
