No worries. :D Good tag by the way.

[womantriker]

Hoping next tag is in San Diego area...not into trecking up to LA on my own right now...but would love to do a tag while Mac is on the road....he's in Vermont at an ST event right now.

I might start a VT tag when I get home!!!

I guess all I can say is you're lucky it's a long ride home taking back roads. Very lucky.

The next tag wouldn't have been in San Diego Carole, but it would have been in San Diego County if them guys up north would have been just a bit slower.

Next time I'm going to talk the wife into bringing her laptop and we'll stop at the closest Starbucks and upload the pictures. Not riding 200+ miles and not getting the tag again.

[dmulk]

DOH!! I hate when that happens!!

<D>

You ought to try just under 700 miles with that same threat...
I was dieing!!! :)

I can foresee some Tag-Rage incidents.. LOL.. you guys are great...

Dana I was thinking the same thing when I was heading north on the 5 with John's tag. I found myself riding faster and faster thinking some darn San Dieagian was home uploading a new tag! :D

Pretty cool looking building there at Oakley's isn't it, you should see it lit up at night!:hyp1:

Good job islandstar!!! :headbang:

[islandstar]

Hey Dana was that you I saw at the traffic light? You were turning left onto Glenn Ranch? I snapped the photo at Oakley and left all within 15 seconds.

Sorry about the timing, but at least it was a nice day for a ride.

I actually got lost and turned off at Portola an exit North of Lake Forest and it was closed. :( With no GPS I figured let me just ride around a little more and got lucky.

[dmulk]

Oh man....insult to injury. 'would have been great to get a picture of Dana sitting at the tag taking a picture of his bike.... could you imagine? :D

<D>

Yup, came home today with an awesome 700 mile Ride & a day old AZ Tag photo .... Good thing it's all about the ride....:bow1:

Well, I did see a fast red ST-1300, I made a point of waving at you, if I would have known you were after my tag, I wouldn't have used so many fingers....hehe

:D :D :D :D :D

[Mellow]

Tag-apoluza.... LOL

[motomac]

Dana, Dana, Dana I called and told you where it was and what it was when you posted you had no clue about it. You have to admit you waited a mite toooooo loooong to go get it. I should have went there in the dark the morning I left my son's place and took it to Barstow!!!! Or Needles!!!!

[dteel]

Yeah, I was itching all day Saturday to go and get it but Vicki wanted to join me and couldn't get out of work until Sunday. I can't blame it on my wife so I decided to take my irritation out on islandstar. Seems like a perfectly normal thing to do to me. Vicki is starting to get into this game and it gives her a good excuse to say let's go ride. Sounds good to me too as we just don't get out often enough. Heavy sigh.... I had such a good tag spot picked out too....

Besides, you know I'll ride to needles or Barstow to get it but those guys up north won't even travel to San Diego County to get a tag.

[islandstar]

Its all good Dana. My ex-wife used to take it out on me too, I got used to it :D

Its rare that I get to ride down to San Diego and never find enough time to see the sights. It was one of the few tags that I could actually locate and ride too lately.

PS: There's a starbucks near the new tag, I promise I won't go after it :rolleyes:

[Mark]

The tag or the starbucks?
:)

[John_Diego]

Dana,

I appreciate the effort. 200+ miles of slab for a tag. I haven't ridden 200 miles of slab in one day since Dec '06 and that was only because I was going to the MC show in Long Beach!

I just like the back roads. I don't care how far the tag is, I just don't want to slab it to get it!

We'll get it back!
John

[motomac]

If I come back to CA via my son's house I go by there, but if I go straight to Carole's I won't be any where near Rancho Cucamonga.

[dteel]

John

John, it wasn't 200 miles of slab, yeah, we slabbed it on the way up but then hit the back roads to the Ortega Hwy over the pass, then slab again down to the 79, after that it was back roads all the way home. We had a good ride, and I managed to drink almost all of my 2 liter camelback. Got a bit warm in spots but really cool in others. When we drove through Ramona it was 68 degrees, but when we got back to El Cajon it was 75.

[islandstar]

Pssssst, they have Alligator on the menu :rolleyes:

[BigTom]

Yep. Bob and I had our "amazingly clever two man tag strategy" worked out to perfection.

Until Mark and Chris got there first, then it was just a nice ride in the rain and stupid traffic...Man, I would live in LA before Sedona, I think.

Or not:)

[dteel]

Pssssst, they have Alligator on the menu :rolleyes:
LOL, I don't need hints. I know exactly where it's at. Had it plotted on my GPS from the day we got back from our foild tag attempt. Unlike Mac I have to work, as the tag spot moves further away, the less I can do about it. All I can do is hope that some one moves it closer or wait for the weekend, and take my chances with being foiled by the time I get back to post.

[motomac]

And I ain't coming back out there until after FLSToc!!! So it may end up in the redwoods before the snow flies!!!

[dteel]

I'm oh so glad that the tag spot has moved north since all the northern section of the SoCal tag guys were so anxious to have it in their neighborhood. So there it sits languishing, dying for lack of attention. Apparently no one but Islandstar and DonP have any interest in playing. Would one of you guys in the northern area like to bring it back down south were people do play?

I was having so much fun teasing the guys in AZ and CO about how long it takes for them to get a tag done. They even gave it a acronym TTT (Tag Talking Trash). Now I have to sit here eating humble pie. :(

This is what's waiting at the AZ:TAG... :)

[dteel]

Yeah, really I should just ride over and get that tag, would probably be a lot more fun. I'm waiting to see what my wife has planned for tomorrow, might just be a good day to go get that darn tag spot. Thanks for chipping in Mark!

[motomac]

So I go home to Ohio and the tag stops???!!! Noone in the northern part of SoCal can find that alligator serving Florida cast off restaurant???

[Onicabbit]

to the lookout place? i know where it is just been too buried in work to go :bow1:

[DonP.]

I'm getting itchy for a ride!:D

[motomac]

Do you need the address? 7777 Vi.... Rancho Cuc..... Dang my keyboard is skipping some letters.

[DonP.]

Do you need the address? 7777 Vi.... Rancho Cuc..... Dang my keyboard is skipping some letters.

Thanks, but i've known exactly where it is for a while. Trying to let some others play. Maybe I'll move it closer to San Diego again...:rolleyes:

[Onicabbit]

oh.... I missed something here....:o: lol not surprising.

[motomac]

Yeah, I've known where it was since it was posted, but I'm 2400+ miles away and won't be back until mid November. The folks up in Cen and NorCal aren't moving things either. Remember your Gov's famous line, "I'll be back".

[Capt_Gruuvy]

I know where it is .... it's that pesky thing called WORK.

[DonP.]

I know where it is .... it's that pesky thing called WORK.

Come on Skipper, you can grab it on the way home from work!:D

[Capt_Gruuvy]

I'll hit it tomorrow on my in. Just 50 miles out of the way ... but I have a new location that will be fun to hit for the next rider.

[islandstar]

I guess the delay clearly shows the SoCal part North of the 91 works and the part South of the 91 doesn't :D

[Onicabbit]

I'll hit it tomorrow on my in. Just 50 miles out of the way ... but I have a new location that will be fun to hit for the next rider.

Doh! OK I'm on the right TAG location. Capt if you don't get to it today I can get there Saturday.

[Capt_Gruuvy]

Here you go ....

I got up very early and tagged this thing in the morning before sun up. So I took another picture of the sign to prove I was there.

Then I went back in time for the next photo. You have to go East really really fast ....

[motomac]

Dang, progress in SoCal!!! And this time I haven't a clue!!! Nice Tag Mark.

TeeHee.....................I know where it is.:twisted:

[motomac]

OK, I think I found it also, but I still won't be out there until after FLSToc. I have the address just in case noone gets to it before then.

[Capt_Gruuvy]

OK, I think I found it also, but I still won't be out there until after FLSToc. I have the address just in case noone gets to it before then.

From the original tag the "go EAST really really fast" is your MAIN hint. I could tell you this "10" more times .... but I think you can get the message.

When was the last time you looked behind a BURGER KING ? You can find various outlets back there. Three prong outlets, 220v outlets CABAZON Outlets ... you name it.

[Onicabbit]

no clue where that's at. :(

[motomac]

I think he's trying to tell us it is in Cabazon behind the Burger King off the 10. You can get the exact location for the Wheel Inn Cafe by Googling it.

[Byron]

You mean here: (see attachment)

Well it's a good thing I can't lie, I took that shot back in '06. :)

[John_Diego]

I know where it is. As a kid I watched it being built when we drove by in our '53 Chevy Station Wagon, it took years to complete.

I'd have to ride hwy 243 to get there. Hmmm 243 is a nice road and this is the time of year to ride it!

John

[dteel]

Go get it John, I'm rooting for you! Of course, don't mark me or George off yet...hehe

[Onicabbit]

LOL dang! I'm going to try Saturday anyone else planing on hitting the TAG?

[islandstar]

Ed, its all yours.

I was going to go today but my Garmin 2730 just arrived and I was fiddling with that.

If you go in the afternoon, expect traffic on the return ride of the 10.

Good Luck

Ya suck on afternoon i bet! I just got asked to take someone to the airport at 11am.... and feed the cats....

[islandstar]

They can take the airport shuttle and as far as cats go, all I can say is I feel like Orange Chicken :D

[John_Diego]

Tag your it!!!!

[motomac]

When I first looked at the tag, I thought I had seen it. I gave my partner a call and she left a voice mail mentioning the town it is in, so, yeah I'd seen it. Carole says it's too far for her to go get it on her own. Her side kick is in HI and I'm still in OH.
Tag your it!!!!

Nice job on getting the Tag John. You beat me to it.

No matter, it was a great day for a ride out east.

[dteel]

Awesome job getting the tag John. Man that must have been some ride. :yr1:

Can't believe a Chula Vista guy beat islandstar to the tag spot; isn't that in your back yard dude?

Anyway, I think your new tag spot looks kind of familiar, I'm going to have to see if Vicki is up for a ride!

[dteel]

Well, Vicki said that she had work to do and couldn't ride along so I had to go without my wife.

Just got back from a very nice ride! Wow, John, you sure know how to put a Tag spot out of the way. :bow1::bow1::bow1: Much better than in some urban mall though.

So this is the tag of your spot.

http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_10_18/IMG_5413s.JPG

And a link (http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_10_18/IMG_5413.JPG) to a full resolution picture if anyone is interested.

Now for my tag. Eat your hearts out guys and good luck at finding this one. A bit harder than my normal tag spot.

http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_10_18/IMG_5421s.JPG

And as usual a full resolution picture (http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_10_18/IMG_5421.JPG) in case some additional detail helps to figure out where it's at.

This tag spot should last until next weekend!

Well maybe not, it's getting pretty close to those fierce competitors down in the southern part of the SoCal tag area.

[DonP.]

WOW!!! A 4 hour tag! That must be record time to re-tag! Good job Dana!:yr1:

[SDGeorge]

Nice job Dana,

292 miles to get that tag and it's gone before I get home. It's a good thing I posted from the road or Islandstar would have beat me to it.

Let's Ride, John

[Onicabbit]

Ah poopies! Guess it didn't pay to help out the HD guy who was still there at 3:40 on my way back home. Well after sitting out on the 210E for almost 6 hours the tow truck finally showed up and i helped them get it onto the trailer and tied it down. bah... If I knew you guys were going to go tag it I would have worked on my photoshop project!

JOHN! was that you that flew by me going westbound on the I-10?

raaaaaaaaaaa I was thinking I should upload the tag using the air card.....:rolleyes:

LOL posted the pics anyways since might as well finish what i started.

It would have been friggin hysterical to hear you all arrived at the same time to get the tag. I can just hear the high noon music and see the shifty eye glances as you guys eyeball one another........followed by the mad dash for pictures and the scramble to be the first home to post...:crackup

[motomac]

Nope, wasn't me. I was only on I-10 from the 60 to Cabazon then back to 243 to Idyllwild.

[motomac]

Thanks George, I can go to bed now. Way to go by the way. I gotta get a lap top before I get back out there, 'cause you guys are getting waaaayy tooooo faassst. Poor Ed finally figured out one and got beat to the punch.

Good job!

Us SD area riders REALLY know how to keep a tag moving. Dana's tag was actually easy to find, I was going to go get Sun. Yours on the other hand is a little more difficult, I'm thinking Point Loma?

Let's Ride, John

[islandstar]

lol, my backyard? I am from NOO YORK, not the sandpile.

I did meet a fellow ST'er at a new charter signing in Indio (if you read this, please chime in) and was pre-disposed with friends.

I'm glad the tag is moving around, guess I'll have to go back to Mexico (anywhere south of the 91) to bring the tag to another shopping mall. ;) This time there won't be a sign, just a little gnome.

Its nice to see everyone get out and do some riding, the more the better.
Hats off to everyone that participates. And beware :rolleyes: its only gonna get more challenging


Can't believe a Chula Vista guy beat islandstar to the tag spot; isn't that in your back yard dude?

[islandstar]

Whereabouts on the 10? Was it East of the 30/215? I was heading west around 4pmish

JOHN! was that you that flew by me going westbound on the I-10?

[Onicabbit]

Whereabouts on the 10? Was it East of the 30/215? I was heading west around 4pmish

Hmm must have been someone else I though I saw a black ST roughly 12:45ish problaby around the 215 area.

[dteel]

Well, my tag sure didn't last long. Oh well, it's all well that ends well. I'm glad it was a good day of tagging. Now to see if the wife is up for some exploring tomorrow... maybe that tag spot can be mine twice in one weekend!

[dteel]

Oh man, you guys are riding now. I'm waiting to see if George gets to Warner Springs before I go to bed!!!

Gee wiz George, I didn't know we provided that much entertainment value. I have to admit I was worried that someone would get to that tag spot before I could get there, but nothing more gratifying than a successful tag run! Much better than the frustration of tag gone awry.

As for your comment about us riding now, well, what did you expect. We're tag-a-holics.

Now I'm about ready for bed, got to get up early if I'm going to beat Carole to that tag spot. hehe

[womantriker]

Dana...no fair! I was up at 4:00AM Ohio time, and spent the whole day traveling (by plane) to get back to California...hoping to get that tag...YOU BEAT ME!
Oh well....hope you had a good run...that tag was in one of my very favorite places!

I'll try for the next one....
womantriker, Carole

[dteel]

Hey Carole, you just let me know and I'll ride with you to go get a tag. Mac isn't the only one that appreciates intelligent and stimulating conversation. Besides, you know where more tag spots are at than I do....hehe

[John_Diego]

OK, I'm disappointed no one got the tag today! I would have, but I have no clue where it is.

Howsabout a clue, George?

Let's Ride, John

[motomac]

Some how, I think when we were running around trying to find the thing on Coronado, I think I saw that structure. Don't remember exactly where, but it was during that time and it may have been something else like that framework.

[John_Diego]

I scoured Point Loma & Coronado with goggle earth and still can't find it! I know it's close, but where?

John

[SoloTotoCoyote]

I scoured Point Loma & Coronado with goggle earth and still can't find it! I know it's close, but where?

John


The closest thing I've found is that it may be one of the micro stations used to track the sputnik satellites. But nothing solid..........

John

Ok, here's the clue of the day;
The TAG was one of three and your not going to find it from the air, as they no longer exist. At one point in time they were a San Diego landmark and the lake (in the foreground) is still there but you have to younger than 15 to fish there The facility was commissioned on January 26, 1917. When it was operational, the station broadcast its signals at 200,000 watts, making it for a time the most powerful transmitter in the world.

:popcorn

[Mark]

I thought I recognized some thing about that shot... I knew I recognized what that metal *thing* was! :)

They were still standing when I was there in '72 and '73 for bootcamp and Corps school at the Naval Hospital...

Good luck taggers!
:)

Mark

[islandstar]

Pssst: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/chollas-heights.htm

[dteel]

Well, after all those clues, even I could find it! Good thing I'm not punching a clock at work.

So here's your tag George and a new one to keep things moving. I'm keeping with the Navy theme since you got it started off right.

[Onicabbit]

well airport is near with that low flying plane. LOL no clue though.

[motomac]

Way to go Dana!!! I told Carole where it was, but she wasn't going until tomorrow.

[dteel]

I waited for that plane on purpose, it's a big clue.

Carole can still go, she just has to head for a different location now. Do you know where this one is at too?

[motomac]

Ahh NOPE!!! That one has no ringing bells for me!!! As Ed said "must be close to the airport."

[Onicabbit]

hmmm... no clues... darn bike and GPS is off! LOL:D

[DonP.]

Ahh NOPE!!! That one has no ringing bells for me!!! As Ed said "must be close to the airport."

North Island?

[dteel]

North Island?

Ok, the two clues so far (besides the picture).

1. There's a Navy theme (as stated in the original post)
2. There's a Southwestern plane in takeoff formation (pay attention to the angle)

North Island only fits one of the two clues.

Here's a hint (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=san+diego+airport&ie=UTF8&ll=32.732346,-117.197299&spn=0.031588,0.065918&t=h&z=15) planes take off into the onshore breeze.

[Onicabbit]

1. on a hill.
2. a "downtown area" to the right behind the building.
3. airport (looks like a 747)
4. old WWII flak cannons? (pointing westward i would think)

[SDGeorge]

Here's another clue for you;

If you want to "Rock" out .......church is close by (OK 2 1/2 blocks away) ...:confused:

:popcorn

[dteel]

1. on a hill.

No, I don't think I was 15 feet above sea level, neither is the airport.


2. a "downtown area" to the right behind the building.

Absolutely Correct!


3. airport (looks like a 747)

I haven't a clue, but doesn't SouthWest only fly one kind of plane?


4. old WWII flak cannons? (pointing westward i would think)

Well, I'm not a gunners mate either, so you're guess is as good as mine as to what kind of guns these are, but one looks big enough to be a 5" gun to me.

I zoomed in on the area were I was at and I can actually see the guns on satellite photo.

[motomac]

Well the fact that it is down town explains why I haven't seen this one. Carole took me down there when the tall ships were in town and that is my exposure to San Diego proper.

[John_Diego]

Dag Nabbit missed another one.

John

[Onicabbit]

oooooh crap long way off from a friday!!!!!!!!!!! oooohhhhhhhhh nooooooooooo going to loose out to on another one!

[motomac]

Southwest flies out of Montgomery as well as San Diego International.

[Onicabbit]

hmmm if i do a night run LOL I would have to use the headlights to light up the guns! 8PM minimum. blah! ;)

[islandstar]

[dteel]

Good eye islandstar. :hat1: :yr1:

Good thing I don't have to worry about tagging this one.

[Svl-1300]

I'm pretty sure southwest doesn't fly out of MYF.

[motomac]

Well thanks to Islandstar, I now know exactly where the tag is, but I'm 2,500 miles away. Obviously George knows where it is, wonder if Ed has found it???!!!

[womantriker]

Ok guys...when alone I can't find my way out of a paperbag...Ohio support is not here...
so I imported my dear friend Ellen from Alaska......HERE SHE IS....but I found the tag...
with the clues you guys gave a ROCK could have found it!
Am sure you will need clues to find the one I have posted

womantriker/Carole:06biker:

[Onicabbit]

:D you win anything? I see they got rid of the grass!

[motomac]

And I can't help because she never took to that place!!! Congratulations Carole and Ellen!!! Way to go. I kinda feel bad for Ed, maybe he knows something about the new tag.

[motomac]

Gosh Ed beat me to the punch and by his remark he does know something about the new tag!!!

[Onicabbit]

Can't tag it it would be too long of a drive for me. I don't think i can handle 10-11 hours of riding yet. I got uncle duties this weekend and Friday I need to head up to SF. I'm at a loss for the central tag though.

[SDGeorge]

Am sure you will need clues to find the one I have posted

womantriker/Carole:06biker:

I know where that TAG is............take your loose change when you go and you may come back with more than you showed up with :confused:

:popcorn

[Onicabbit]

Go for it George! Make sure you spread out the weight on both sides of the bike when you come back! :D

[dteel]

Good TAG Carole! :yr1:

Wasn't all that long ago you wouldn't have been able to get that tag without a military ID or base pass. Now that its been turned over to private developers and renamed Liberty Station you can ride right in. I was thinking about using the buildings made famous in the movie Top Gun, but decided against that too. You're right about one thing, the clues (not left by me) sure left no doubt where it was at; heck the only thing more they could have done is drawn a ST in the spot in the satellite photo.

HA! I know where the new tag is at, don't need any clues. I've thought about using it myself but always decided against using it. Now I have a good excuse to head out that direction. Maybe Vicki will be up for a ride after work.

Seems that the tags aren't lasting very long, I know I was feeling some fustration when it moved up North, I just didn't have the time to go tag it other than on a weekend. I'm glad that it's back down here were it belongs.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Why don't you guys in the LA are just begin your own TAG thread for the LA area? Heck, CA is big enough to support multiple tag games, it seems that there is enough interest and you guys have a ton of great places you can move the tag to to keep it interesting. One word of advice though, keep it out of the malls unless they have something like really interesting art or a land mark.

YMMV ;) :D

What? And end the north vs south battle? No chance. :D

[George]

Go for it George! Make sure you spread out the weight on both sides of the bike when you come back! :D

I know where it is, too. Won't be over there 'til Friday, tho, so one of youse guys will beat me to it.

[illzoni]

Good TAG Carole! :yr1:

I brought the CenCal tag far enough south that those on the north side of LA could make a nice ride of it.

[Svl-1300]

What? And end the north vs south battle? No chance. :D

I agree with Adam. Now that I know how to post pictures on here "THANKS TO DANA". I'll have to help the north bring the tag north.

Bill

[islandstar]

Oh "CRAPS" :rolleyes:


Does anyone know how to "GET A GOOD HANDle" of that new tag spot? :D

[Onicabbit]

Grip firmly with the right hand and pull it towards ya :D

[dteel]

Ok, finally got on the bike with Vicki and we went to play tag. Thanks for the opportunity to eat at the buffet and Vicki played some slots and doubled her money. So the trip was successful on multiple accounts. So here is the tag spot left by Carole.

Is that on base or require any special military only access?

<D>

[motomac]

Dang Dana, ya got up close and personal with that Phantom din't ya???!!!

[dteel]

<D>

Nope, I know that would be unfair and I wouldn't do that to you guys.

[dteel]

Mac, why yes I did, it was sweet. I was thinking the whole time that it would be a lot faster if they painted that thing red... :biker:

YMMV

[womantriker]

Okay guys...the "terrific twosome tag team" is working again (even if we are currently 2,400 miles apart!) I can't find my way out of a paper bag...so MotoMac gets the credit for finding the tag (WHILE IN OHIO)...but I went and got the tag for the two of us!
Am keeping with the military theme...easy to do in San Diego!
Apologize for the strangeness in photo quality...new lens, am not sure there isn't something wrong with it! Pics are good enough to identify though....good luck on my tag!

womantriker/Carole

[motomac]

Babe, way to go. Sorry you frightened Ellen off the pillion!!! Just remember SoCal, I'll be back after FLSToc!!! I know womantriker's tag will not last long as it is such a big land mark, anyone in 50 miles of San Diego knows where it is. I didn't even have to google that one.

Ed got the CenCal tag this afternoon, so he's a happy camper.

[SupraSabre]

Dang your hide Dana!

I got back an hour ago (240 mile ride), ready to make you ride you're arse's up north but you beat me to Barona! (I guess it helps when you live so close! :mad:

37712

I'm expecting an offer next week, and if I get it, I'm going to go taggin'! And get it out of San Diego! Be ready to ride! :D

[Mark]

I believe I was a crew member on that ship in the early '70s!!!

womantriker/Carole

[Mark]

A bit farther than I can ride in an afternoon for me to tag that one...

[SupraSabre]

ok you guys...stop jabbing...start tagging!

womantriker/Carole


I tried, but Dana beat me to it...by 3 hours...:mad:

Just wait until next week...if the offer comes thru...then you will have to do some searching and riding to find the tag that I'll hit you folks with! :D

[SDGeorge]

Night TAG;

Sorry for the out of focus TAG as I had to dodge a cage or two to take the picture.

George:03biker:

Hint; Well is "not" a “full moon” and the light to the right is actually a flame (torch light), so it may not be lit during the day.

Sorry about the timing there Bob, I hope you had a good ride though. Best of luck with that offer, I sure hope things work out for the best for you! (exceptin' tags...hehe)

I'm a bit disappointed that my tag lasted such a short time but that's in the nature of the game. One minute we are co-conspirators, the next fierce competitors.

It's all in good spirit though and it does bring out a bit of the competitive spirit. I know how you feel Bob, because that's exactly how I felt the day Vicki and I rode all the way up north to tag the Oakly corporate office only to get home to find that some one drove across town to tag it there in LA. Sort of a let down to say the least. Carole, if you didn't take the time to go inside and chat with the people there you really missed an opportunity.

For those that have not visited the Flying Leatherneck Air Museum (http://www.flyingleathernecks.org/index.html) near MCAS Miramar, it's well worth the visit. Not as robust as some of the larger air museums but they have some pretty nice exhibits and as Mac pointed out, you can get up and personal with most of the displays.

A few more pics that didn't get published the first time around.

Posted via Mobile Device

[motomac]

Dana, a visit to the Flying Leathernecks is on Carole and my agenda when I return to Wonderland!!!

[DonP.]

Dana, those pics of the F-4 bring back some fond (and not so fond) memories of working on the flightline in Yuma, in August!

We had a photo in the ready room with 2 of our squadron aircraft flying side by side, straight UP! Great birds, and proof that a pair of J79's can make anything fly! FAST...:bow1:

Man, George, you slid that one in at the bottom of the page and I missed it. Good tag Sir, I can't find it, haven't seen it, and don't have a clue where it is. Carole says maybe Imperial Beach, but I have never been there (I don't think). Maybe Dana knows where it is and will get it today or tomorrow.

[dmulk]

Ok guys....go get it:

Someone around here better go grab it before George from AZ moves it north! :)

[womantriker]

Hey guys...here's the tag...I got it.
Having trouble posting two, for some reason...so I'll post the new tag by itself..
womantriker/Carole

[womantriker]

Well..it worked this way
Let the game continue!

womantriker/Carole

[motomac]

I've been there before. Boy we really chased around that day. Way to go Babe.

[SDGeorge]

Well..it worked this way

womantriker/Carole


Great TAG Carole. I won't give it away but I'll add a hint for the guys...:rolleyes:


:popcorn

[motomac]

I didn't think to try that!!! Neat perspective George.

[dteel]

I went there tonight and took a picture with my camera phone. I was so disgusted with the quality, I refuse to post it. The other problem with this tag spot is that the gate closes for public access at 5pm. Good thing I'm an employee of SSC (SPAWAR SYSTEM CENTER), so I just took my badge along and the guards just waived me through. My good camera was still sitting in the computer room from downloading pictures from Rick's BBQ yesterday. Such a bummer. It was a nice evening for a ride so not all is lost. Maybe I'll have time to get it during lunch or something tomorrow.

Did you know that they host an autonomous submarine contest there every year. Many universities from all over the world compete.

[womantriker]

Wow Dana...didn't know about that competition...will have to look for it. See what can be learned by playing a game like tag? And you get to ride too!
Looking forward to your next tag...

Carole
P.S.Thanks for compliment, George.
Mac...I'd do a better job with you here!

[motomac]

Mac...I'd do a better job with you here!
I think we'll get a few tags together after FLSToc. See you next week here in OH.

[womantriker]

Dana...you need to get back there..with a real camera!

Carole

[motomac]

I really thought this one would have been a done deal by now.

[dteel]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I need to get busy. You retired guys are driving us working folk to distraction. My co-worker are already wondering why I'm going around talking about playing tag...

So here we go, I got busy during lunch today, since some people are impatient for me to get this tag and to move on to the next one (I'm thinking retired players here).

So here's Carole's tag spot (full resolution shot here (http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_10_28/IMG_5488.JPG)).

http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_10_28/IMG_5488s.JPG

And an additional facts shot.

Now for the new tag spot.

The writing on the base says (no photoshop smear here, it's really that bad)

http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_10_28/IMG_5494s.JPG

So tag, you're it, now get out there and RIDE!

[Onicabbit]

lions, tigers, and bears, oh my! :D

[Mark]

Love that place Dana!
Lot's of memories from Corps school...

[womantriker]

Come on guys...doesn't anyone want to come out and play tag...I'm going to have to go and get it today if no one else wants in.
Carole

[motomac]

I too am surprised George or John hasn't tagged this one. Carole and I discussed letting someone else play, but I guess she's getting impatient, can't imagine that!!!

[dmulk]

I think John had the flu the past few days....


I know where Dana's is at.... you better hope I don't get one of the tags... I have a really good one planned for the next one I get. :)

<D>

[Onicabbit]

I'm stuck at work! but i know where it is... hehe till you guys move it!

Carole

I don't know what to tell you Carole, other than most of us are still working and unless it happens to be close to work, it's not easy for us to play tag during the week. You have to give us a bit of a break, it's only been two days! Heck most of the rest of the country is happy if the tag moves twice a quarter...

I too am surprised George or John hasn't tagged this one. Carole and I discussed letting someone else play, but I guess she's getting impatient, can't imagine that!!!

LOL, I'm staying away from this one Mac. You might be able to bear the brunt of an attack, but I'm chicken through and through.

I think John had the flu the past few days....

Go for it Dan. I like it when you play tag! I'll bet you know some interesting places.

[motomac]

She called from Balboa Park and was on her way to another tag. Haven't a clue where she'll go.

[womantriker]

Okay you guys...I promise to let others have a chance (think I've caught Mac's competitive spirit)...but here's the tag...
Dana...did you get a ticket getting this shot?

Let's see who finds my new tag...think this may be a challenging one!
We'll see how many posts I have to do to get three pictures up...here goes!

Carole

[SupraSabre]

I was going to go get it yesterday and a friend called asking for my help in moving an office for him. So I got side tracked big time. :o:

Seeing that Carol got a parking ticket, maybe it's a good thing I didn't go get it...:p:

So Carol, was it a :money1: type ticket? :mad:

And BTW, I got the job! Starting on November 10th.

Got a ticket to go with that picture??:eek:

[womantriker]

The "Ticket" was a joke...I was riding with friends...who decided to make the park employee's day a little funnier than usual. He told her he was my parole officer, and that she should write me a ticket for parking in a driving lane...and that he would show the picture to the other inmates...She LAUGHED and got right into the game. We just shared the antics with all of you!
Actually...we've all got a ticket....to ride!

Nope, nary a ticket did I receive, not even a warning to keep moving. I'll have to slow down if for no other reason that I'm running out of ideas of things to tag. I was thinking of tagging my home, figured that way at least someone would drop by and maybe ask me if I'd like to go for a ride.

Hoooboy, glad there was no trouble.. that shot looked like it was snapped during a serous altercation between two strong willed individuals regarding parking & picture taking...:D

Carole

[dteel]

Dana, I've been to your house more times than you've been to mine!!!

As it turns out, you're right, but how do you know that I don't show up to your house in Ohio when you're in Ocean Beach and you house in Ocean Beach while you're in Ohio?

(Besides I work for a living?)

It's kinda quiet 'round these parts....


<D>

[motomac]

Yeah, I really am surprised this one went this long. It seems there are enough cluse for anyone to find it.

[womantriker]

I figured someone would get it this past weekend...guess Trick or Treating Candy made a louder call....
You've got clues, gas prices are down...MAC AND I don't get back to town until 21st of
November....someone needs to get tagging! Stop lagging!

carole

[dmulk]

I even posted the exact coordinates and address.... sheesh.... ok....someone better get this one or I will probably grab it on the way to work tomorrow morning....

<D>

[motomac]

I got the OH tag today. I'm going to have a list of states that don't have a tag on our way back to CA from OH via FLSToc and grab a tag or two on the way. TX is really dragging their feet. Tankereng posted a picture of the present tag, but he hasn't posted a new one. Carole flies out of San Antonio the 18th, so I will be solo and can grab that one with a bit of a run up north a ways. If Tankereng would post one in the SA area, which I know because I lived there for a while...:p:

[dteel]

I even posted the exact coordinates and address.... sheesh.... ok....someone better get this one or I will probably grab it on the way to work tomorrow morning....

<D>

Go for it Dan. I'd like to see you get another tag, looking forward to it as a matter of fact. If you don't maybe I'll swing out that way on my way to SeaSTOC and move the tag spot to the Salton Sea. LOL

[motomac]

I was actuallly thinking Blythe would be a good ways away for a tag, but then noone would go get it!!! Or Death Valley. George would be on those two in a Kingman minute!!!

I have no time during the week and I've spent the last 2 weekends laying on the couch trying to get over this crudd I've got, got to get better before SeaStoc.

[DonP.]

HA, TAG! Youse guys is it! :D

[dmulk]

I knew if I posted something like that Don would grab it!! :)

<D>

[motomac]

Guess you had a good ride today!!! Nice tag Don. Caught those SoCal guys napping. Now they have a distance to go.

[dmulk]

PE: Here's the new one:

Trabuco General Store
31021 Trabuco Canyon Rd
Trabuco Canyon, CA 92679

All you got to do is come and get it! :nanner1:

[motomac]

Prezackly!!! They wouldn't even go to Encinitas.

[dmulk]

All you got to do is come and get it! :nanner1:

I can think of at least *1* good reason why you're going to bring the tag directly to me.... :D

<D>

[dteel]

Great job Don. Glad you could ride down and get it. Query; isn't parking in the bike path illegal? Glad you didn't get a ticket or assaulted by some angry cyclists. They can be pretty belligerent.

I asked Vicki several times if she felt like going to a ride, but she's been working so hard at work and she never seems to have any energy left at the end of the day. I'm beginning to think that it's about time us way south guys give the rest of the SoCal crowd a bit more opportunity to play. But don't count us out. We might make a group effort to snag your tag away again.

To my way of thinking, Don has firmly placed the ball in the more northern reaches of the SoCal tag area. Now all that remains to be seen is if they really do want to play tag up there...

If you think that's a challenge, well pat yourself on the back, you're absolutely correct. :toot1:

:D:D:D

[DonP.]

An open invitation to who ever ventures to my neck of the woods, PM me and I will meet and buy you a cold beverage!:capwin:

[John_Diego]

Nice job Don!

I'll get back to tagging soon after SeaSToc.

Second Successful TAG! Woops GPS system was pointing to "Cook's Corner Store" Sorry DonP Lunch was pretty good at the "Cook's Corner". Dang! not even 5:20 PM and it was this dark!

3828138282

[DonP.]

Nice one ED! :07biker:

Lunch was good and the GPS was stuck in place well! Nice new tag, should be easy to find but a long haul for the southern SoCal contingent... It may hold thru to next weekend.:p:

[steamroller]

hi guys....mind if a VTX1800R play too?....:04biker:

[SoloTotoCoyote]

hi guys....mind if a VTX1800R play too?....:04biker:

Anybody's welcome. The more the merrier. Go for it. :D

[womantriker]

Hey all...doesn't really matter where the SoCal tag is...Mac will be back in town around the 21st....

Hope you guys got to Salvation Mountain when you did SeaStoc....Florida trip kept Mac and I from joining you. But we did The Dragon while you were at SeaStoc, and that's something I have always wanted to do!

Ride safe...we'll be back tagging soon!

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c310/steamroller1/tag/flypig1.jpg






the HINT...the new spot is between CSUN and here...i highly recommend this spot...cause its a GREAT place to sit and watch the surfers and eat Taco Bell from across the street...Combo # 4 is the best with a super size root beer....

its ST related because there were about 4 of these guys running around CSUN...one of um even gave me the biker wave while lasering a cage...

:policeST:

[Onicabbit]

hmm by chance that LA smog in the background? Congrats on the tag heh i picked that spot cause I know its less likely you would get squished by a cager there.

[dteel]

Nice tag Steamroller! :bow1: Get your first SoCal tag on post #3, wow! I really like the tag spot too, don't have a clue where it's at, but love it none the less. I've seen police STs like that on my way back to San Diego after an Experianced Riders Course I took in Long Beach, wonder if these guys are from the same little town?

[Mark]

I don't think you're far enough North Dana...

[SDGeorge]

hey a :pig1: can always find another :pig1:.....:D

Bet it don't last long.

[Mark]

I really wish I was visiting my brother-in-law in Pearblossom this weekend!
:)

[Capt_Gruuvy]

Looks like I have a reason to drive on the "Singing Road" this weekend.

[dteel]

Wow dude, what's wrong with your camera? That's one nasty blue shift.

Nice tag

I did a bit of adjustment on it for you, how's this? Better I hope.

[Capt_Gruuvy]

I'm thinking there was a Coyote following you around today ....

[Mark]

I forgot about that road... 1812 overture and all... might want to check if you want to ride it... I hear they moved it...:)

[Svl-1300]

Yep! Feisty little thing, I just couldn't shake him off.

A little thing?
I don't think so!!!!

[John_Diego]

I hope Capt_Gruuvy gets this one. Only because I want to see where he puts it.

Let's Ride, Gas is cheap!!!!

Ohhhhhhhh, AFP42 must be WINDY over yonder:)

Andrew,
It was very windy. The Cajon pass was killer today. I almost pulled over and walked down the hill.

[islandstar]

I give you a lot of credit for riding through that. The ST's toss you around quite a bit...at least compared to my Roadstar.

I love that tag, huge fan of the Blackbird :)

[Svl-1300]

The F-117 is sweet!!!

[George]

2 years ago, coming home from Big Bend (great ride, BTW) I was passing thru El Paso when I heard this _noise!_ It was an F-117 headed north to south (as I headed east to west) just above US-54 (maybe 250 knots and higher than my estimate, but...) I remember thinking:
a. It might be invisible to radar but no the naked eye
b. Or the naked ear. LOUD!!!
c. he better turn pretty quick or he's gonna be in Mexican territory!!!!! :eek:

This was less than a week before the official retirement of the bird.

Awesome tag, I need to take a shot at it if it don't get picked up sooner.

[Capt_Gruuvy]

I went up to Crestline and down the back last night to burn off the "new" of my tires.

I was blown clean off Hwy 18 ... it had no grip.

Pucker Factor = 9.5

Back when I was riding my little CB250, I had a Santa Ana sized gust of wind suddenly take me from the fast lane to the slow lane. As I was suddenly hurtled sideways among the other cars sharing the road, I was yelling "Excuse me pardon me pardon me excuse me Auntie Em......It's a twister!!!!". I ended up all the way onto the shoulder, wide eyed and white knuckled.

[islandstar]

Still EXTREMELY WINDY here, so the bike stays in the garage and the cage comes out.

I couldn't open the lid to my trash can because the wind was that strong holding it down. Damn! This never happened in NY unless it was a hurricane!

[Capt_Gruuvy]

It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood ...It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood ... should I start my... should I start my ... Oh, yes ... I should. :D

[Capt_Gruuvy]

First let me explain that to hit that TAG perfectly would require me to park in a No Parking zone. So what to do ..... pull up next to the Blackbirds themselves. With permission of course.

Your hint for the next TAG is found in the Star Trek TNG epsode: Carbon Creek.

Either way you get there you should have a great ride.

More pix from the Blackbirds are in my Album.






<--- click on the camera ....

[Svl-1300]

Gruuvy,
Nice job. Way cool!! I work across the street from the SR71's.

Bill

[motomac]

Well, I'm in MS and you have moved the tag so ya'll can tell me how to get to the SR 71's as they are the most fasinating airplane (at least to me) in the whole world. My Wing is Blackbird.

Palmdale Plant 42.....corner of 25th St & Ave P......GPS type in..... 2555 E Ave P, Palmdale Ca... Los Angeles air traffic control center is right across the street. If you come this way let me know and I can give you a tour of the facility.

Bill

[George]

Got it spotted, now just gotta be the first one there. Doubt it, tho, too many local denizens.

Come out and hit your new TAG along the way. I am not too far away so you can use my computer to upload your pix. :)

[Onicabbit]

Doh! we were on the 138 today toooooooo. Dang!

[Capt_Gruuvy]

Doh! we were on the 138 today toooooooo. Dang!

I saw a silver ST on 138 on my way to the new TAG spot. I was racing with an orange Road Glide. I think I saw you if that was you pulled to the right with another bike.

I was moving very quick so I didn't get a look other than at the type of bike.

[Onicabbit]

Hehe probably not we only went from Frazier park to Newcomb for the Pony Express ride. On the 138 you would have seen all 7 of us. :)
