    Wow... Did we all quit? I haven't seen the tag in my travels yet. Though I haven't ridden in a few days before today...

      I've not been out and about anywhere near a commercial area with the motorcycle since we got back from our hike. (not our pictures, but it'll give you an idea of the area where we were; Garibaldi Park)

      I think the inflatable dazzlers are not all that common around these parts. I'll have to grab the camera and go for a spin tonight to see what I can find

        One gift shop.

        And a close up.

        And the sign in the parking lot

          The next tag is a restaurant in a park. No hotdog stands, or fast food. Eric's special tag is a hot mechanic.

            I call foul!

            The hot mechanic... is your wife!
            I guess that counts.

              Nope its a local shop that only hires female mechanics. Apparently it is very difficult for girls to enter the trade. The owner told me that it makes female customers more comfortable, the girls don't try to tell him how to run his business, and dirty old men like me keep coming back.

                Is 1 1/2 hour ride and a 1 1/2 hour ferry ride too much effort to get my tires changed?

                  Depends on how much you have to pay.

                    Absolutely not!!! Ted has constructed the shop so there is an L shaped bar with stools facing the bays.

                        Hey guys. I assumed our American friends do this in their parks as well. If that is not the case, let me know and I'll change the tag.

                          Perhaps the municipal parks are a different story, but they do exist in the states as well...at least in one of the National Parks.

                          Yosemite National Park offers a wide variety of restaurants to satisfy every palate. Most of our restaurants are open all year, and many offer outdoor seating during the warmer months.


                          I have an idea of where I would go, but I'm not getting there today!

                            There is a really nice restaurant in Yosemite National Park.
                            Pricing is not too sky high and the atmosphere is great.
                            It is a long ride from here though.
                            There might be one close by. I will have to look.

                              What about city parks ? I don't want to slow the game down. Lots of our former run down beach houses that used to house hot dog stands have been converted to nice restaurants.

                                When I drove by English Bay yesterday, I hadn't noticed that they converted the bath house into a Cactus Club.
