    I know of 4 mill stones in riding distance. All 4 are still in use. 3 in historic sites and 1in a organic flour mill. The 3 historic are all water powered. Would make the trip but getting the bike into the grist mill for the picture may be a problem, historical societies and partnerships, county government ect. would all frown on my riding the motorcycle up/down the steps for the picture.

    Here is the closest one. In a restored and operational grist mill.

      If no-one gets it by tonite, tomorrow you can get a pic of the bike in front of the mill and a seperate pic of the stone, thats ok, it a working mill after all.

      Otherwise....I'll post an easier backup to move the game along for a new tag.

        Mill stone found outside of St. Paul. It's from the first functioning mill in Minnesota. Hard to believe I touched something that was used before the Civil War.







        Next tag coming...

          I can't help on this one, even if it stopped raining. This is citrus country.

            Have we had a roundhouse yet? How about a functional one? This was used during the train's heyday and is now a museum. The functioning roundhouse is used daily.

              Wow!
              The last time that I saw a working round-house was over 30 years ago!
              Not counting the man-powered ones for the cable cars in San Francisco.

                Nothing turns around here, they just pass on through. Atleast I have a tropicalstorm to blame for my lack of tags lately. Seeing that fine example of an L over and over, has got to be driving tkent nuts. He must have been thrown from one in his younger days.

                    Closest one to me is over 3 hours each way, although I drove right past it when I went to get my bike.
                    So I suppose I'm out for this one.

                    Good luck everyone!

                      Have you driven a TANK in San Francisco lately!
                      Those people are insane!!!
                      They play this game that I call "changing lanes JUST to change lanes!" for miles and miles with no one going even one mile per hour faster in any lane!!!!
                      They are crazy!!!!

                        Take the beefed up 750 and ride it like that Russian in the video awhile back. They'll never know you were there. Don't forget to mount the Go Pro.

                          Nice tag and tag


                          We have an old unused roundhouse still in Cleveland, I won't be riding again for awhile, have to pick wife up from the hospital and will be home for quite a few days after, but anyone else playing in the Cleveland area, here's where it's located.

                            I think he said it had to be a functioning roundhouse ?

                                Hmm.....I didn't think of that. We have one that functions as a community center.
