TX: Tag

[UNTMatt]

I'm prolly doing this thing all wrong but here we go! Directions in first post here (http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42085).

It's kind of fruity.


UPDATE: The location has been discovered. Crabapple, Tx.

[STill Fiddlin]

"Fruity?" What the heck kind of clue is that??? (I'd've guessed Grapevine, but it looks a bit out in the country.)

[Silver1300]

+1 Grapevine
Other than that I have no idea what else would be "fruity"...

[Mellow]

Yeah.. at least Robs was a little easier.. it's not meant to be a puzzle.. just a reason to go get a pic then submit a new one.. leave it to Matt.. LOL

I was gonna take one of the Blue Hanger Cafe..

[UNTMatt]

:D

It's supposed to be easy? Geeze...

Hill's and a small ghost town....

It's no where near Grapevine...

[KrazyKooter]

Is it in Orange, TX?

[UNTMatt]

Is it in Orange, TX?

Nope....Orange, Tx isn't a ghost town.

Let's go over the hints:


Kinda fruity
Hills
Ghost town

There are only a couple of buildings in town...and a cemetary. It's actually an accidental find by us and turned out to be a fun one as well. The building in the photo is a Lutheran Church.

[guardian_dfw]

Let's see.........It's off of Hwy 290 isn't it? I don't want to give it away so that I can go and get a pic and tag someone else.

PM me with your answer and I'll let you know if you're on the right track.

[guardian_dfw]

PM sent.

[KrazyKooter]

Sorry, I meant Orangeville. It's not off 290 though.

[UNTMatt]

Sorry, I meant Orangeville. It's not off 290 though.

It's not Orangeville.

[dmilb45]

Grapetown?

[dmilb45]

Or is it Minters Chaple?

[uptoblackwood]

Center City, Tx......
Center City Methodist Church

[UNTMatt]

It is not Center City, Grapetown, or Minters Chapel.


Kinda fruity
Hills
Ghost town
Gillespie County


A good place to search would be Texas Escapes (http://www.texasescapes.com/default.htmhttp://www.texasescapes.com/default.htm).

[uptoblackwood]

Albert? LBJ's school town...

[UNTMatt]

Albert? LBJ's school town...

Nope, think of a type of fruit.


On a side note, I'm really suprised someone hasn't tagged this one already. I didn't think it was that difficult. :o:

[Mellow]

This isn't supposed to be a puzzle so unless someone figures it out soon or the location is exposed, I'm pulling it.

[ligito]

San Francisco?;)

[dmilb45]

crabapple

[STratus]

Grapetown?

[Kevin_56]

Crabapple it is. Click Here (http://www.texasescapes.com/TexasHillCountryTowns/CrabappleTexas/CrabappleTexasGhostTown.htm)

[UNTMatt]

crabapple

Bingo.

:D

[UNTMatt]

I took it as part puzzle part ride. :confused:

I wasn't supposed to give the location and the hints just about pointed out the location. Anything easy isn't worth it (at least in my mind). I did post the location on the first page...now someone just go tag it. :)

[Mellow]

I guess I didn't see it that way since Robs original post specifically stated the item must be easy to identify.

[UNTMatt]

I guess I didn't see it that way since Robs original post specifically stated the item must be easy to identify.

Oh well. I took that as easy to identify not easy to find. Since there were only two buildings in Crabapple I figured it would be easy to pick out once someone discovered the location. :shrug2:

According to the directions, I'm not supposed to reveal the location until someone tags it w/a photo. :(

I think the confusion is rob posted how he does it then I posted something a little different.. I'll try to be more clear next time.. :nuts1: I was just thinking if it took too long for someone to figure it out the thread would get stale, as opposed to someone going out there the following weekend and tagging it.

I need to get on Robs site and see how it's working over there. Then make things more clear here... you'd think I would have learned by now... :doh1:

[Texason]

San Francisco?;)

ZING! :spank1:

Is that the ST Forum? I can't log in anymore, unless I pay up first.:(

Next time, why not have a sudoku puzzle where the missing numbers are a jumble of the routes you need to take, or latitude & longitude (you guess which!). Jeepers, this was too much brainwork for me...

[UNTMatt]

They are having a grand old time tagging photo's. This one's got four pages and no tags....:p:

I know you in South Tx could tag it in no time flat...what the deal?

[Tankereng]

Here's the tag and the next photo...look closely...

Not trying to take advantage of my close proximity, just trying to keep this TAG thing lively and getting folks on the road. :)

Round Trip was 168 miles

[UNTMatt]

If I had a new rear tire I'd tag it. I know exactly where that is! :D

[Texason]

Rats! I rode right by there today and didn't know it was the next "tag" picture.

[guardian_dfw]

If I had a new rear tire I'd tag it. I know exactly where that is! :D

I believe that there is a famous song written about this place. I'm out of town for a week, but if it's not tagged by the time I get back then I'll do it on my way to Kerville next Monday.

Here's a little History on Luckenbach, TX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luckenbach,_Texas) It's a bit off the "Beaten Path" but amazing little joint. If the grill is open when you get there....mmmmmm good eats...

North of I-10, west of 2855.

:D OK, y'all can help a newbie here. How is the Tag thing supposed to be done?

Rules in first post (http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42085)

Stripped down version:


You ride to the current tag photo.

You photograph your bike at that location showing both your bike and the object in the photo.

You then take a photo of your bike in front of another landmark, geographic location, etc.

Post both photo's following the rules.

Another rider then must tag your photo.


Just remember that whatever object is to be tagged is easy to identify when the location is discovered. You're allowed to give hints as to the location but not disclose the location until a new photo is posted. Read all the rules in Robs thread.

[Tankereng]

Thanks Matt. Still learning about this site, and missed that post by Rob. Yours and his will be a big help, and I hope I can contribute to the adventure soon. Maybe while I'm breaking in this :07biker: ?

Yes Mark you can, but first you have to show up at the Blue hangar. :D :D BTW, I just sold my Suzuki so Momma is happy.

[Tourin']

That's good news. And yes, I'm hoping to make the breakfast thingy Saturday. Home sick today, but being good. I'm sure my co-workers think I'm scootin' down the road.

Already thinking of some sites to take pics of too, and help the Tag keep going.:)

[yeliab]

Well I'm off tomorrow (Friday 25 Jul) so gonna try to make the tag. Good ride for the new scooter, plus this thread needs some action.:D

[yeliab]

Well, here is the tag and the next location. What a perfect opportunity to get a feel for the new ST. I think I'm going to be VERY happy with her. Gosh I hope I did this right!

[UNTMatt]

Hico Texas?

I need to empty the tank on the ST before the tech day....Hico could be the ticket.

[yeliab]

BINGO!!!!

Hico Texas?

[yeliab]

You betcha! Stopped there for an excellent breakfast along the way to get the photo. About 440 miles round trip, but had a blast. Can't wait to see the next tag location.

Tank, one of us is thinking about going over there soon, haha. What time will you be there that day? :)

[Doobage]

Yeah, Hico is a bit far until the temp drops for me, or I build my "chill" suit. The heat is just kicking my butt.

[yeliab]

Somebody please tag this. I promise the food is worth the ride. ;)

[Tourin']

Maybe in the morning. Did a long ride yesterday (three Stater), in part to find another Tag pic to use if I get to tag one of these places. So, either I will or won't tomorrow...or can try and meet anyone else there juST for the fun of that?:07biker::)

[Tankereng]

I wasn't able to get over that way...I stopped at my sister's place in Frisco and it was insanely hot so I pressed on to Oklahoma City

The Koffee Kup is tagged....but in order to follow the rules I have to get another Tag photo....hopefully this weekend before someone else gets it...:D

[Mellow]

The CA and AZ folks are putting us to shame...

I wish I could participate in this more ugh.... I have about 20 good tags in my head... LOL

[motomac]

I am going to be dropping Carole at the San Antonio airport on the way to CA from FLSToc. You guys better get that tag before I'm by myself or ya'll may have to leave TX to get it back!!!

[Coop]

Better get it this time Tank. I'm closer this time to really gettin' down there, and already have another pic to post for the next round.:07biker:

[Tankereng]

I've got the pic at the coffee cup....just need a new tag pic to go with it...have some stock photos but that would be cheating....:D

Here's the tag photo....just to show I've been there. if someone else tags it and posts another photo, I'll bow out and try for that one....just to have some fun... :headbang:

Aiming for a new tag saturday morning...got a location in mind already....:D

I too hope to tag it soon, and have at leaST one photo in STock waiting now. But a family emergency this week is going to distract me. But looks like we're getting some spirit back into this.:07biker:

[motomac]

You guys and gals procrastinated tooooooo long!!!! I was going to take it farther west, but didn't want to make it too easy for the El Paso bunch. Now GO RIDE!!!!!

[Tankereng]

You're my hero Mac... See you in Santa Fe :headbang:

[motomac]

Hey, when I tagged that restaurant, I didn't know it was a more than one, so in all fairness, the one I tagged is west of Abilene and east of Colorado City. Look around the Sweetwater area!!!
Tanker, not sure I'll have to go all the way to Santa Fe.

[Onicabbit]

hmmm looking at the brick work looks like you guys got the same one.

[womantriker]

Mac....if you go to Santa Fe without me...we're going to have to go back! Just like you to put some energy into Texas' tag....you could stir up every state in the union! Keep heading west young man....see you soon!

Ride safe!
Carole (womantriker)

[motomac]

Ed, I posted my tag first and his tag second. I did the post in the K-Mart parking lot on the pillion of the Wing.
