SoCAL:Tag

[SoloTotoCoyote]

Area: Southern California

Here goes...... the location is a DQ located on hwy 371. Have fun. :D

[tommyboy]

Is it a Dairy Queen? About the only town I can even think of is Anza, and that looks way more developed than I remember.

Sorry, yes...the location is a Dairy Queen. I've edited the original post. Since I've given the road it's located on and the fact that the road isn't that long, I won't specify the actual location. Have fun on the road and keep your eyes open for it. :D

[Capt_Gruuvy]

Found it .... Beautiful ride there and on home.

You must have been lost though that is way out there.

[SoloTotoCoyote]

Bravo, sir. :D Nope.....wasn't lost. But when I saw the DQ, I had to stop for the photo. Now I gotta find a new spot to get a pic...................

[Onicabbit]

Wait isn't Capt_Gruuvy suposta post 2 pictures? your place and the new tag place?

[dteel]

Wait isn't Capt_Gruuvy suposta post 2 pictures? your place and the new tag place?

+1

Yeah, I read the rules, he's suppose to post a follow on picture for us to go to. Hey, Capt. how about the next shot? I know you're a free spirit and all but can't you just this once follow the rules?

I'll get Fred to translate if necessary... :D

[Capt_Gruuvy]

No worries. Here is a photo. The clue is under the flag. This is easy in an effort to get people out there to play.

While you are there .... get some pie.

Hmmm................I think I know where this is.....theoretically. :D Road trip time.

[Onicabbit]

Poopies haven't got a clue... must be out there in the boonies I see 1hp vehicles!

[dteel]

Not 100% but it looks a lot like Julian to me. I'll have to take a run out there later and see...

Can always get some pie even if I'm wrong. Hey Capt. how about focusing that camera next time? LOL

FWIW, I don't think this is suppose to be a mystery game where you have to find the location, I think you're suppose to post the location, the idea is to get someone else to ride out there and get a picture of their bike in the same location then post a new one.

[Capt_Gruuvy]

HINT: I just did a ride report and told this location. The only hard part might be the location of the bike as this is frrom an intersection.

Sorry, it was my camera phone I will do better next time.

Across the street from the liquor store is Mom's Pie Shop. See ... I have nothing but love here ....

[BigTom]

I know right where it is. Place right there used to serve Spam on the Breakfast menu. I've had it.

I don't know when I'll get there, it is so darn hot between here and there.

Capt. was trying to be funny not critical. Hope that my comments didn't offend. I'm not going to get out there today and tomorrow starts the work week. Maybe next weekend, I'll have to see what the wife has planned.

Everyone have fun with this one, no matter how you choose to get there, it's going to be a good ride!

[agia]

Main St., Julian.

[Capt_Gruuvy]

You would have to work a lot harder than that in order to offend ... No worries.

[Onicabbit]

heh guess I better get those parts so i can pop the Tupperware and get it all installed before I get lost out there. lol seems kinda far for pie:eek:

[SupraSabre]

Not if you live in San Diego or Inland Empire! :D

Doubt if I will be able to get there anytime soon...:(

[dteel]

...seems kinda far for pie:eek:

I can't believe you said that. We have members that drive in from Phoenix and Yuma all the time for pie at Julian. Heck compared to those guys, Julian is practically in your back yard.

[Capt_Gruuvy]

... seems kinda far for pie:eek:...

:pie1:

Does your Mom know you talk like that ?

[elkhntingfool]

I've got to pick up some Port from the Winery right down the street this weekend. Maybe I can get this one.....

[dteel]

I'll bet I beat you to it!

[AzDesertRider]

I'll bet I beat you to it!

yeah, unless some guy from AZ gets up for an early cruise.. :eek::D

[dteel]

Yeah, except I'm a guberment employee and my weekend has already started and I'm thinking this moring is a terrific time for a cruise.

[BigTom]

OOOHhhh. I forgot about that extra day off stuff...

Well, enjoy the pie and ice cream, Dana!

[dteel]

Ok, managed to get to Capt. G's location and get a picture.

I also have another picture for you, so it's tag you're it!

The intersection is Barona Rd. and Ketuulluunyaa Way. Good luck! :D:D:D:D

[Capt_Gruuvy]

I was expecting a Pie Report ....

[AzDesertRider]

Good job Dana... So, G-Men get an extra day off? Very cool.

Now to route in the Barona intersection with a trip though Barrett Jct.

Sounds like one of them Big Tom type "short cuts"

[dteel]

I also used the Old Julian Hwy just for the heck of it. Seen a lot of options for the next tag, but I didn't want to make it too difficult. After all this is suppose to be fun! Sorry Capt. I know it's just not suppose to happen but I skipped the pie in Julian, wife says that I seriously need to loose some weight. Doctor says the same thing. Everyone is ganging up on me! Only one not telling me to loose weight is Fred!

If you put a hole in the pie, all the calories will leak out........it's called "Caloric Seepage". Same thing happens with broken cookies.

(Just backing you up...:D)

[NoBull]

Did someone really say kinda far for pie?? Can a ride for pie be toooo far? If its al a mode I dont see how?

[Onicabbit]

xP ya I said it LOL. too far for pie with no GPS. Indian pie flavor at the new tag location?

[dteel]

Ok, this isn't really all that difficult, the new tag location is along Barona Road which is all of 7 miles long. How difficult can it possibly be? I've attached a map, just to help out those that are having problems finding the general area. So can I help it if the location can't be found using MS S&T, or Goggle Maps? Ride the road and keep your eyes open.

[Finewest]

...Only one not telling me to loose weight is Fred!

How can one fat guy tell another fat guy to lose weight? I'm still trying to figure it out... Now if I can just get you to stop talking for one hour so I can get a word in edgewise... (J/K) :D

As for translating for the Capt... Here goes...

Dude! Trot on down the groove to mainline and cool your heels with a pic of the mile. Far-out on the pie in the sky! Stay left of the cleft and peace-out! :confused:

That's some funkadicious rhyme bro, how bouts we slide some eats and puff the wild flower ?

[BigTom]

So. Any of you youngsters ever been to the drag strip in Ramona?

No? I've been to where it was. My buddy Ray has pictures of him racing at Ramona...With a '56, matter of fact:)

[Finewest]

Cap.. some 7-11 is trying to bogart our thread, and change the sub-ject... :D

[Finewest]

That's some funkadicious rhyme bro, how bouts we slide some eats and puff the wild flower ?

My flower puffin' days are gone dude... since the nodes on the toads struck fear in my tears... :(

[Capt_Gruuvy]

All I know is somebody better get out there and snap the photo .... do I have to ride down there myself and then take a picture in dmulk's parking space to get people to participate ?

You cats are harshing my mellow ....

[dteel]

You won't have to snap a picture, according do Dan, he's going to web link the security cam so that we can all view it live for him. We'll see you there and just hit print screen!

I'm beginning to wonder if it's against the rules to tag your own picture. Figure if I did, my next one would be of my bike parked at a scenic overlook of the Pacific Ocean just north of Oceanside, at least I know Fred will show up there eventually to catch a sunset

[Onicabbit]

whats the rough play area we talking about for SoCal tag?

[dteel]

You're in it. Try not to get too far north of LA though. You'll start infringing on the middle CA area. We don't consider anything north of San Francisco to be in CA, really they are just southern Oregon residents.

I know this is open to interpetation, but I consider LA south Southern California, anything much north of LA & above Ventura to be in middle CA and San Francisco to be Northern CA. I don't know any ST-Owners in CA north of the SF area.

[kempco]

Hey Dana, I'm in grass valley which is north of SF. I was in Ramona until last year and I rode with you back from Julian on a RTE.

[laterob]

We are STealing this tag....

Okay, Kemp...I am in Sac...the Central tag is in Yosemite (100 miles) and the NorCal tag is in Oroville (86 miles)....same question as Solo......what is the central area and what is the northern? I may just do a double-tag tomorrow if nobody has either of those yet

[dteel]

same question as Solo......what is the central area and what is the northern?

I did my best to answer this. It's not like an exact science or anything. So you can either accept my guesstimate or you can post your own definition of Northern, Middlern & Southern.

[dteel]

Hey Dana, I'm in grass valley which is north of SF. I was in Ramona until last year and I rode with you back from Julian on a RTE.

Ah heck kempco, that's still in SF, is it still foggy when you eat lunch?

Thanks for letting me know that there is ST life in CA north of SF, you could have knocked me over with a feather. I guess I was the last to know.

You'll just have to play with the Northern SF guys around SF then....hehe

[kempco]

OK, I divided a Cal map into thirds so now So Cal stops at Delano, Nor Cal stops at Clear lake and Central Cal is every thing in between. Now that is a scientific approach. Ha!

[motown209]

Dana..
I just made a 250 mile circle from Modesto and called it good..??:biker:

[dteel]

Dana..

LOL, that works for me.

The bottom line is that if you get too far afield then I guess you'll get the wrong set of guys playing in your sand box. I certainly wouldn't want someone posing a picture of their bike at the end of the pier in SF as the next tag spot for SoCal. If I was headed to SF anyway, I might make the attempt, but you can bet I wouldn't make a special trip for it, would cost way too much in gas to make it worth while.

LOL .....S.F. is a good road trip...:D..:biker:

[SoloTotoCoyote]

Holy Crap............150 miles one way for a slice of Mom's pie and to get a photograph of a sign. It was fun though. :D

The directions that I wrote down suddenly didn't match with what I encountered once I got to Ramona. Thank God for a knowledgeable and helpful local. Once back on track, my directions were still all screwed up. Heading down a road, I started to get the feeling I was going the wrong way. As I decided to turn around, I just happened to pass the sign. Sweet.

For fun, I decided to get Capt Gruuvy's tag as well. (1st pic) Due to the traffic and parked cars, this was as close as I could get.

So, new tag. Hwy 79 (3rd pic)........pic is rather obvious.

[dteel]

Whoohoo Adam, way to go! I didn't think anyone was ever going to tag my picture. The out of the way location and the fact that it's not a prominent SoCal landmark made it a bit difficult. I wanted to make it a bit tougher since you couldn't just Goggle it and know where to go. I gave enough hints to lead you in the correct general location, but not right to it.

[Capt_Gruuvy]

Nice ....

I have a location in mind for the next tag that will allow our L.A. members to play.

Anyone up for a ride ?

[SoloTotoCoyote]

Heck yeah. Believe me when I say that I found it strictly on luck and was just about to turn around when I stumbled across it. That was a definitely a hard one......but worth it. :D

[dteel]

If you would have kept going you would have been on Wildcat Canyon Road. Back in the 70s before there was a casino out there, that was one fun motorcycling road. I have fond memories. Now the road is so crowded with BDC it's hardly worth the trouble. The rest of that road you were on all the way to Barona is worth the ride though. It's only 7 miles long from start to finish so you couldn't have been too far out of the way.

[Onicabbit]

Nice ....

Doh.... Got called out! :eek:

[SDGeorge]

Looky what I found, just some low hanging fruit :) This one is not too hard to find, but your going to have to take your cool vest to claim it.

George:cool:

Sweeeeeeeet. Guess I might have something to do next weekend if I'm bored. :D

[dteel]

TAG! YOU'RE IT!!!!


105ºF in the desert today, I suffered, but I got the shot. The next tag spot was at a cool 100ºF

Thanks for the nice challenge George.

[SDGeorge]

Hey there, that didn’t last long, aren’t you suppose to be working on Fridays? I need to review the rules here :)

[motomac]

Geezolpeezol, I'm from Ohio and know where that is!!!

[SoloTotoCoyote]

Hey there, that didn’t last long, aren’t you suppose to be working on Fridays? I need to review the rules here :)

I'm thinking we need to bug his bike so when he takes off to get a TAG, we can follow just out of sight and get it right after he does. Can you see his expression when 5 minutes after he posts his TAG we respond with the match? :D

[islandstar]

lol, cool setup you have with this tag game.

And while you're getting apple pie, try some ice cream inside the store there!

[SoloTotoCoyote]

"TAG" is just a cleverly disguised pie run..........:D

[AzDesertRider]

Tag...sMile Yer it!

Followed the full moon up the mountain to tag Dana, then watched the sun rise on the way down to my Tag Pic.


New tag local is on the north frontage road, just east of the I-8 & S-2 intersection, (the road to pie) at Ocotillo, ca.
N 32 44.283
W 115 58.909

[dteel]

Hey there, that didn’t last long, aren’t you suppose to be working on Fridays? I need to review the rules here :)

I work a compressed work schedule 36 hours one week 44 hours the next. Pay periods are two weeks long, that works out to an average 80 hour week. So I get the leg up on the tags by doing them on Friday.

I'm thinking we need to bug his bike so when he takes off to get a TAG, we can follow just out of sight and get it right after he does. Can you see his expression when 5 minutes after he posts his TAG we respond with the match? :D

Good luck with that Adam...hehe

Wow, that had the be the shortest lasting tag to date. I detected some frustration with my last tag spot so I didn't want to repeat the hard to find tag again.

What's up with the AZ guys getting in on our SoCal game anyway? Just teasing Bob, I know you road about 100 miles in some pretty intense heat to get this one, so my hat is off to you!

Now, when can I get back out to the desert, I know I rode right by that yesterday, but I don't remember the smiley face. Hummmm, pretty busy today, maybe a nice Sunday ride?

[BigTom]

How did Bob get my helmet with out me knowing? That's what I'd like to know.

He didn't ride in intense heat, Dana. It's not even 100º yet:)

[Capt_Gruuvy]

Golly Molly ... what's with all this desert nonsense ?

I thought that was Mellow on the bike for a minute. I'm headed to Mexico so maybe I'll have to find the smilie ....

[SDGeorge]

Hey there, I get up early to go and TAG Dana. I walk in the door, TAG in hand, and what to I find :confused: Some night owl swoops :eek: in for the easy pray while I catch some zzz’s.:turtle
Well at least I have picture of my bike in front of a big rock with a blue sign.:turtle

That Bob guy is pretty sneaky, I'll have to admit that. I'd like to see the excuse he used to get out the door that early, I'm thinking Ann isn't that easy to fool.

If I weren't so busy today, I'd go out there and tag it just for fun. Heat, who cares about heat. I've crossed the desert when it was blazing away, highest temp around 119ºF, can't say I enjoyed it but I know I can bear it.

Bob's probably taking a nap now.

BTW, nice picture of the blue sign George!

Yeah, Ann is out of town, I needed a good early morning ride, Bike was ready to flip past that 69,000 mile mark & thats all the reasons I needed. Made a pot of coffee, filled the thermos & followed that big full moon west..

Smiley is just at the bottom of the hill. I figured Capt Gruuvy would pick it up on the way to Mexicali. Sure can't count Dana out tho...:p:

Nice ride this morning, only 140 miles and the temps never got over 99º. That blasted loose gravel near the tag spot had me in butt puckering mode on several occasions. Please, keep it to the pavement from here on out Bob, or at least well packed dirt or gravel!

http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_08_17/IMG_5163s.JPG

Now for the new location, a well known San Diego area land mark.

http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_08_17/IMG_4445tag.JPG

And a bit more help in case you need it, this is the rock in the previous picture blown up a bit so it's easier to read.

http://www.dmulk.com/bikes/dteel/2008_08_17/IMG_4447plack.JPG

This one should last at least a few hours and might be safe from marauding Arizona riders....hehe

[SoloTotoCoyote]

This SoCal TAG thing is getting out of control!! 3 TAGS in 48 hours!!!

[dteel]

I could be mistaken, but I don't think we've seen the end of it yet!

[SoloTotoCoyote]

I could be mistaken, but I don't think we've seen the end of it yet!

I don't think so either.......:D

[AzDesertRider]

Good Job Dana!

Hey, I thought you were a gravel rider from way back...hehe

I remember that great picture from Mt Helix, been wanting to go up there since you last posted it..... hmmmm prolly not enough time today tho.

I still feel like a cali guy cuz I was born & raised in So Cal & only live 12 miles from the state line now.

[laterob]

I wanna play! You guys are doing some serios tagging. Up here, everybody's too busy to play.....I have had the NorCal and CenCal tags for awhile. Maybe Fireball will get one soon, but I dunno what happened to the others (sigh). Work starts again tomorrow, too :mad:.

Nice job, youse guys!

[dteel]

You're absolutely right, drove my motorcycle on gravel every day. The road I lived on was paved with gravel. But loose gravel still gives me the willies. I like nice packed gravel, or even better packed dry dirt. I've seen dirt roads that are smoother than any paved road I've been on.

What I find amazing is that with all the ST-Owners in the SD area, that my tag lasted the day. I'm pretty sure it's closed now, so unless it's already been tagged, it will hold up for at least 24 hours.

[SDGeorge]

Well it's not for not wanting too. I can see the TAG spot from the end of the street, it's about about 5 or so miles away from the house. I did take a ride up to the top but the lot was full, so I figured I'd give somebody else a chance at it. :rolleyes:

[dteel]

Ah, I hadn't considered the full lot issue. Could be difficult to get that shot or one even close to it with all the people that frequent that location. Best of luck all!

Yeah, I googled it & found Mt Helix is only open daylight hours. My evening ride was foiled , I been foiled I tell ya..:p:

[SDGeorge]

Well it took some doing but I finally got it. Like they say third times a charm, 1st run too many cars :mad:, 2nd time no cars and no card in the camera. :doh1:
1st pic is the TAG :run1:
2nd pic is what is at the top of the mountain
3rd pic is the view of the next TAG………….from the top of the mountain.
4th pic is the new TAG :woo, it's not far from this one so this may be close enough for Bob to beat out Mr. SD Dteel ;)

Game ON :popcorn

[SoloTotoCoyote]

Do those silver clouds on that tower actually make it disappear into the surrounding landscape?

"Wow. I could hardly tell this big rusty tower was here thanks to those little silver cardboard clouds made by the local kindergarten. They work fantastically." :D

[Onicabbit]

O.o;a wooooh that thing is huge!

[dteel]

LOL, I never even considered the difficulty of getting a shot of my tag spot. I think I was there on an early Friday afternoon. Excellent pictures from the top of Mt. Helix George! Impressive that you actually got a shot of the new tag spot from the top and then rode to that location for a good close up. Nice work! :bow1:

I'll give others a chance to tag your spot before I head on over, I might even wait until Sunday afternoon; I was thinking I could get that on my lunch break today.... naw, savor the experiance... no need to rush.

You're right about one thing, the game is on! :yr1:

Yea, I figured that an "out of towner" would have to go to your TAG :hun1: to get the directions to the new TAG location.:D

[Capt_Gruuvy]

I saw this on my way home this morning. Thought I'd snap a picture.

OK ... am I the only one who thought this was a crazy idea ? Loose gravel is not your friend.

If I had coal in my $#%@$% I would have made diamonds !

[Capt_Gruuvy]

BTW ...

Nicely done SD George. Good pix. Someone wanna change counties for the next tag ?

[dteel]

Ah, but that decision belongs to the next person to tag the spot. If only the far south SoCal riders and Yuma guys are tagging, then we get to pick the spot. I do believe that's how it works.

Good job on tagging Bob's, kinda late, but wth. :hat1:

Congrats on the late tag. I figured you would get that one since it's close your your Mexico commute. I thought the gravel brought a certain amount of excitement. I'm sure a photo from the frontage road would have been just fine for the faint of heart. :D


I had to do a 600 mile cage ride yesterday, went right though El Cajon. Just for fun I wanted to nail the tag shot with my Diesel PU & 24' enclosed trailer on the way to help my sis move, but, no time for fun, it ended up being a long work day.

[dteel]

Well, it's Sunday afternoon and no one has tagged George's spot so dteel to the rescue; I'm up for the challenge. The new tag spot is a bit further north. Still in San Diego and still in San Diego County. I didn't have a lot of time to devote to it today, so I just did the best that I could with the time I had. It was a pretty day in Grossmont :D, but the marine layer hadn't burnt off at the new tag spot yet so it was grey gloom. :(

Best of luck everyone. Let the game continue! :toot1:

[motomac]

Here I am back in Ohio and can't go take a picture of those!!!! Dang, Dana!!!

[SDGeorge]

Hey Dana, you missed the TAG :confused: ...it's the manhole cover under the bike :cool: not that big brown thing :D: http://www.st-owners.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=34803&d=1219371573

Not really, :pig1: ...... game ON

Dana ... nice TAG. I thought about that temple but the 5 is like another state away from me.

This should get someone in Oceanside, who has a camera, to get in the mix.

[motomac]

OK, I went all the way to Ohio and now I'm back in Ocean Beach and no one got the Mormon Temple. to quote a famous STer up in MI, Unbelievable. I have passed this thing so many times on the way to Ladera Ranch. Note the positions of the bike on our find!!!

[Capt_Gruuvy]

Stay off the sidewalk !

Actually, I go "in" there all the time...not as often as I should! :o:

As for your new one, I worked in the building just to the right for about a year! Good one though.....I doubt if I'll have time to get to it before someone else does though....

[AzDesertRider]

Nice tag Mac & Carole. :bow1:

[Onicabbit]

egads! I can't seem to locate any of these places :confused:

[dteel]

I'll be on it first thing tomorrow! I can't let this slide! All the way from Ohio to tag my spot, and you brought trikerwoman with you for verification just in case someone accused you of photoshopping...hehe :yr1: :hat1: :bow1:

I don't think the rules state that the bike has to be in exactly the same position, only that you can see the land mark. I'm not driving up on the sidewalk!

Already thinking about where to make my next tag spot....:scared2:

[Onicabbit]

probably no parking on the street or red zone!

[motomac]

Dana, the photo has been shopped, and when you get the picture you may pick up what she did to it. Nothing to do with the bikes on the side walk, that is real enough. Carole said she thought the handicap ramps were for trikes and bikes to get off the road!!!


Ed, the street is very busy and on a curve, so not a good place to stop for a photo op.

It looks like she blurred the road sign...................

[motomac]

It looks like she blurred the road sign...................
Yeah and one other little detail!!!

[dteel]

Something on the side of the building has been blurred out.

Won't help though, I already know where I'm going.

[motomac]

Yeah, the name of the company was on the building way up at the top.

[AzDesertRider]

Ok, I know I'm gonna be in trouble for this,:eek: but, this is a <snip> cut n past from the original "rules" of Tag. ( Clicky (http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42085))

PHOTOSHOP and Archived Photos are not allowed as they are not in the spirit of the game of Tag!

[motomac]

We knew that, but several folks from around here already know where the tag is, so no harm, no foul.

[womantriker]

Bob....Hey you...forgive this newbie...I guess I didn't read all the rules, only the ones on the Tag post I saw. I thought the idea was to figure out where the site was...and the street name, and building name would destroy the hunt. I can repost it with the info on it, if that is what is needed. Sorry

womantriker...Carole

[womantriker]

Hope this clears things up...had to put my trike in...changes in pic with the Wing are all I saved.

Carole

[SDGeorge]

I'll help you out here Carole.....recheck the first pic........... you didn't get rid of all the clues about this TAG. You left just enough to find this http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM2P2D

George :pig1:
Now all I have to do is beat Dana there:03biker:

[motomac]

Wow, that is a pretty old rendition of what's at the location now!!!

womantriker...Carole


Carole, you are soooo forgiven! :D I only learned the "rules" when I started thinking about tagging AZ & found the original tag post with said rules. I almost broke the "No archive pics" rule when I made my socal tag. I was gonna use a picture from a previous ride, but was just LUCKY that I changed my mind & stopped for a new pic that day.

Absolutely agreeed.... no harm, no foul!

[dteel]

All, just created a new thread (http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48763)in the California forum to discuss this. Would be good to get more discussion on this, but I don't want this thread so cluttered we can't tell where the last tag spot is.

[SDGeorge]

Ok, here's the new TAG, your going to have to do some homework and keep a keen eye open once you figure it out. To get here is a nice "slow" :turtleride......just be careful as the road can be narrow and sandy in spots……good luck.

Game On:03biker:

George:pig1:

[motomac]

We know where it is George, but won't get there today and thanks for participating!!!

[dteel]

I've been led on a merry chase this day. First over to get Mac & Carole's tag only to get home to find that George had beat me to it. Dratz morning chores anyway! George, you're not a goberment worker... aren't you suppose to be working today! So anyway, back to the computer for some fast research, then plotting a route that I hoped would lead me to my target (it didn't but it got me into the area). I had to search around a bit. Found several unpaved roads. Finally found it. I'll bet I drove almost 300 miles today and I didn't go anywhere!

So without further Adieu, here is the next tag.

[AzDesertRider]

Nice work George & Dana. :yr1:

Hey, I know that bridge..:D

[motomac]

Gee while Carole and I are were cleaning our bikes, Dana off chasing tags!!! Nice work Dana.

[womantriker]

Thanks to Bob...and George..and Dana..for "forgiveness" and participation! Can' believe more aren't participating in this FUN Tag game! I love it...
We've got our next tag set up...just have to get one to earn the right to post it....hard to find time with all stuff going on...like RTE today! See you for breakfast!

Womantriker

[womantriker]

Gee Dana...you must have gotten here on a weekday...before ANY cars were in the parking lot! There was a huge party going on there today...pinatas, kids, signs...I had to walk into the party to even find the tag...then ask kids to get off the statue/seat so I could get a picture of Mac...who had to park on the grass so the Tag could be seen and photographed! We rode on a bike path to it...but I "think" it's for unmotorized bikes! It we keep this up we're going to get tagged, and you guys will have to bail us out!

Here's a new tag.....the right one for the beginning of September, we believe!
Think this is going to be a tough one to find...good luck!

Supertag Team - Mac and Carole

[motomac]

When we finished our tag on Coronado, we saw an ST on the bridge heading to Coronado while we were on the way back to OB. Anyone on the board looking to score the tag???

[AzDesertRider]

Great work "Super tag team" Love the new tag pic!!

Mac & Carole. :bow1:


Now, if only I did not have to go help my sister put up horse corrals tomorrow...

[womantriker]

Bob...Horse corrals.....horses? When you get to mucking the stalls, cooling them out...let me know, I'd love to help! My trike is my metal steed...to
"replace" the four-legged steeds I grew up with! Sure do miss them!

Oh No, no stall cleaning for me, that's the end of the horse that I don't mess with.:eek:

Sis has a few Horses & she just moved from Wildomar, CA. to Bouse, AZ.
Little geographic shock for her & the horses! If ya want to seem em, we could all do a RTE to the Kofa Cafe for breakfast & then out to Bouse some time.

Great looking trike by the way... Love the sound of them Valks.

Carole
I rode "everyday" until I was about 17. I graduated from High School and got over that in a hurry. I sold my horse when I was about 22, funded a MC. Not the first, but cost $250...I haven't swung a leg in 35 years, and don't miss it a bit. Those horses are serious dangerous...

I would be ready for a meal at the KOFA, however.:)

[womantriker]

OK guys...this would be a RTE and reminisce about four-legged steeds...name the date!

[John_Diego]

Carol & Mac beat me to Dana's tag. It was crowded when I got there too. The only open parking space was just about as good as I could do.

Dana's Tag, Carol & Mac's, new

John

[motomac]

Way to go John, glad to see another participant in the game!!!!

[dteel]

Excellent job John! :toot1: :hat1: :yr1:

I have to go to Mac's tag spot and get a picture of my bike there just because it's soooooo cool. Glad you decided to join in. Tag is always a lot more fun when lots of people participate. If my bike wasn't still in pieces in the garage I'd go look for your tag spot John. But I will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest. I installed a new air horn and the stupid thing doesn't work.

[womantriker]

Dana...
If tomorrow is the earliest you can go for John's tag, then it's too latest already! Mac and I got there tonight....it was closed....but still got a picture!
No way we were going to throw the bike over the fence (says Mac!)

Maybe you can get this tag tomorrow!
Supertag Team...Mac & Carole

[motomac]

Holy Moley!!! You guys have created a TAG monster!!!

[SoloTotoCoyote]

Holy Crap!!!! We're starting to get tags not lasting for more than a couple of hours!!!:eek:

[John_Diego]

Damnit my 1st tag and it doesn't a day!

The sad part is a squirrel gave up its life on the way to the new tag. I know they are disease carrying rodents but I try to miss'm. Hit the breaks and missed with the front but as they do sometimes it reversed direction and ran under the rear. No high five with his buddies after that one.

Mac isn't time you went home?:)
Let's Ride, John

[Onicabbit]

Geeze only way to slow it down is to require a 3 bike minimum hahahahahaha. Holy molly some of you are itching to get out on the bike i see. :D:D:D

Sorry about the squirrel John, I think we saw you on the way to Coronado the other day. We were on the way back. We will be leaving here next week for at least two weeks so you will be able to make your tags last a bit longer. Dana works, so he will have to wait till after work to get the pictures.

[womantriker]

I keep asking Mac the same thing, John....but his return to Ohio wouldn't stop ME, and the tag monster is me I'm afraid..this is such fun! I've got the club I ride with starting this game now!

Some of us just don't need much of an excuse to "Go Ride!" This has been a lot of fun and it looks like it's just getting going.

You know, I'll bet Joe wouldn't have a problem starting an LA area Tag if you guys feel left out by us SoCal dudes and dudettes. I know there are a lot of quality tags in your area and several members from that area expressing an interest. Obviously it's not in our best interest to let you "steal" our tag away from us.

[John_Diego]

Looks like I'm about an hour late :( Plus 30 minutes ago I rode right passed Deerhorn Valley.

Dana, I'm surprised we didn't cross paths.

Well I can't say I'm sorry that I beat you to the tag spot John, but it would have been good to run into you and your buddy on the FJR. Do I know who he is?

Go get the current tag spot, it's not hard to get to and there's plenty of day light left. Of course, Mac and Carole might beat you to it.

[SDGeorge]

Well after three days of non-stop running around :twist1:and missing the last 3 TAG's by hours :mad:, I have finally been able to get back on the board. Dana’s was an easy one…….it was on my favorite road. :) Hopefully the next one will be a little more challenging for all ………….good luck :03biker:

George:pig1:

[AzDesertRider]

Hoo boy, you guys are on a roll... Very cool.

[motomac]

We know where it is George, but we ain't gonna go on a moonlight run to Descanso. Maybe tomorrow. Nice to see you catch one. Carole has the Wanderers doing it on their list.

[John_Diego]

I keep asking Mac the same thing, John....but his return to Ohio wouldn't stop ME, and the tag monster is me I'm afraid..this is such fun! I've got the club I ride with starting this game now!

Dana, the FJR belongs to Micheal, he has ridden with the ST group before. I think you were there. He has a Yamaha Strat-o-liner cruiser. He just got the FJR 3 weeks ago. I rode it for several miles and I was impressed, it's certainly a competent competitor to the ST.

Hope to see you in Crestline next weekend, if not maybe we will meet at the next tag.

George:pig1:

OK George,

I must have ridden past that sign more then a few times. The last time was probably Mon. But I don't have a clue where it is, how about a hint?

Good job getting back in the game!

John

[SDGeorge]

A hint:confused:....like Mac said; "Descanso". As for riding past it? I'd never been on that road, and it's a oneway in / oneway out road....unless your riding a KLR. Heck I even got the GPS confused a couple of times.:cool:

George:popcorn

Thanks George,

That doesn't narrow it down to much but I know of 2 good possibilities. I will try and find it. If not I'll be begging for another clue.

Let's Ride, John

[womantriker]

Mac...you'd best get out early! John is on the search!

Take the road that heads North out of Descanso (not the 79) :confused:

George:popcorn

[motomac]

OK boys and girls, I have found George's tag. I have included two of my own. One of them is on the road George said you needed a KLR to get to, but that wasn't the case. I rode the Wing for at least 8 miles on this road George refered to. At the other end is my tag. The one in the middle is optional. If you post either of the tags I have posted you can post your own. Good Luck.
I saw some beautiful country this morning and an '05 ST heading west on the 8 at 1000. We were about 12 miles from El Cajon when I passed you.

[motomac]

After extolling the beauty on the dirt road George referred to, Carole insisted we take a run at it together(she wasn't with me yesterday). So off we went, me on the Wing, her on the Valk Trike. We pulled up at George's tag and she asks "how long before the road ends?" I tell her around a couple of more curves you'll see the "end pavement" sign. Well sure enough the pavement ends and the 13.1 miles of dirt start. The big problem, Carole didn't have a card in her camera and now we have to go back again!!!

And just to prove Carole did ride the dirt road I have included a picture of her coming to the end of the road at the tag spot!!!

Yeah, there is some great scenery in back hill area of SD county. I stopped were the pavement ended because the sun was going to be setting in about hour and didn't want to chance it (and I had to get back ASAP to post the TAG :) ). On the way back there was a kid jogging (of all places) and I stopped and asked him what the dirt road was like. He said that there was some big ruts in the road so I felt that I had made the right decision to hightail it home. Sounds like I need to make a return trip to see what's up.

George

[motomac]

Believe me George, you owe it to yourself to do it. I only went about 20-25 mph the whole way, but the panoramas are fantastic. The ruts are from rain runoff across the road. There are many places where there is washboard also. I met two cars yesterday and none today!!! I meant it when I said we were making another trip. It will probably be early next week and you're welcome to come with us. With Carole stopping every 1/4 mile to take pictures it will take a while.

[womantriker]

Yes Mac...it took a while..but this time I promise to get great pictures..even if I have to glue a card in the camera to prevent my forgetting to load it! Would love your company George!

Carole

[dteel]

Well, I got home from work on a early Friday afternoon and Vicki said she wanted to go for a ride. I had the perfect destination in mind.

So that be tag for the old spot. Nice ride out there BTW. Vicki and I both enjoyed it!

So here's the new tag.

hmmm.. I seen lots of trucks on blocks.... This is new to me... truck on Pine cones :bow1:

So is the flooring cheap over there behind ya? :D

[motomac]

Your bike is too clean to have ridden Boulder Creek Road, so you went out Engineers Road!!! I have seen that old truck somewhere, but I can't remember where.

Nope I rode Pine Hills Road to Eagle Peak Road to Boulder Creek Road.

You've got an eagle eye Mac, now if you can only jog the memory free...

[motomac]

Weekend is booked Buddy, so it will be John or George that will have to tag that one. If they don't have it by Monday, Carole and I are going back to Boulder Creek with a card in her camera this time!!! Maybe I'll remember where I saw it by then.

[John_Diego]

I know right were it is. Rode passed there 3 weeks ago.

Going to Dan's for the BBQ tomorrow, but will try to get it sometime this weekend.

Let's Ride, John

[kempco]

It looks like a Julian Floor covering truck in Wynola on hwy 78.

[SDGeorge]

Well no one is around to play............so I'll play by.......oh never mind. Here's the old TAG and the new TAG.

Good Luck:03biker:

George

By the way Dana, there are two trucks that look like that on the same road. Some guy didn't like me pulling into his yard :confused:. I figured it as soon as I didn't see the pine cones :)

[dteel]

Excellent job George. You tagged my spot while I was up at Dmulk's having a grilled steak. I rode up with John_Diego, so you're right, Mac is off who knows where, and I had John showing me all the back roads on the way to Dan's place. Seen a whole bunch of neat tag spots, but man, the game would take on a whole new character if they were that far north.

BTW, I don't have a clue where that buggy is at. Maybe we could get together for a bit of a ride tomorrow? Seems you know some SD county roads that I've never seen before. Time for my education to begin!

That's a classic....hehe :D

[motomac]

Carole forgot the stick, but she rode her own on Boulder Creek. We had a picnic for the Wanderers and were at the park to save tables from 0300 to 1000. Cleaned up from the picnic and went to a baby shower at 1600 and are now waiting to get in a 60's concert. We have a household move tomorrow for a friend, so the new tag is safe from us till Monday.

Yea if you take it too far North, well never see it again :pig1:
As for the current TAG, I’m sure that you’ve been past it a few times. You must have preoccupied :F1Car1: as you went by :)
If you want to go out tomorrow AM, PM me and we’ll meet up somewhere, just need to be back to watch part of the game :)

Waiting to see if my wife wants to go out for a ride after she gets home from work. Playing EQ2 with my guild this morning.

Probably be better to wait for next weekend. I'll have 3 days to play vice 2.

Thanks for the offer! :hat1:

OK, What's up:confused: I know the TAG team is out of the area.........so now nobody wants to play? Where am I suppose to ride to tomorrow? :pig1:

Dana, I know your out there somewhere :rolleyes: It's really not that hard to find, just head out East on the 79 :03biker:

George

Now with a clue in place, I expect to wake up in the morning and see a new TAG.....I can hardly wait :popcorn

[dteel]

East from where George? I'll see what I can do about it come morning. Last ride on the old rubber.

[motomac]

Oh, man what a clue!!! Dana, you know where your last tag was, so if the new one is on 79, then I would look around Jumal. John was probably heading home when he tagged the new spot. I have passed that buggy just like the old truck, just can't pull it out of the clutter. Good luck!!! We have beautiful weather up here in Mammoth.

Or he might have ridden just a LITTLE further east to take his picture:)

You better get it today, I'm thinking!

:attentio: :attentio: :attentio:

oops :o: Thers a reason why I won't lead on rides :nuts1: ........I should have said head NORTH on the 79.......NORTH of Dudley's....head towards Tecmecula.

Boy am I going to get :nuke1:

Ok, George, I'll call your tag....

***Warning***

If you are going to attempt to tag this spot, the road has a lot of loose sand on it. It is paved, but the corners are sharp and frequently covered with sand.

Nope, not, incorrect, nada.

I know where it is, but I've put myself on time out for giving the wrong directions

[motomac]

You guys have to fight this out among yourselves. Carole and I won't be back to play until sometime around the 26th.

Sutherland Dam

Tony, you're good! So why haven't you been out there to tag it if you know where it's at? I've kept Geroge busy helping me change tires this morning, but he's on the loose now and he told me he knows where it's at. I don't doubt it one bit.

[agia]

No time! I only know that area as I used to patrol it. In fact, I'm working today so that's my excuse. Sorry for letting the "cat out of the bag" on this one...

[dteel]

Hey no problem Tony, I don't mind. I like it better when there's a lot of activity! If you have a day off during the week you might get it yet. With Mac way up north we don't have much interference from the retired crowd....hehe; those guys have unlimited time to cause mischief!

According to George he has stuff to do around the house before the weekend is over and coming over to my house to help me change tires (http://www.st-owners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49804) has compressed his schedule and he don't have time to head out there this weekend.

Best of luck to whoever goes for this tag spot. Please take my warning about the road condition seriously! I don't want to hear of any accidents. :eek:

[John_Diego]

We found it!

Good luck on the new tag!

Let's Ride, John

[DonP.]

Nice one John, looks like another Dam tag...:D

:popcorn

[kempco]

how about sweetwater dam?

[Capt_Gruuvy]

How about somebody bringing this Dam thing north ?

[DonP.]

If I can reccognize anything I'll make a be-line to it after work!:p:

[DonP.]

Ha,Ha found it! :nanner1:


New tag is 106 miles north, welcome to Orange County!

Last photo is a close up of your hint, enjoy the scenery.:D

[Mellow]

You CA guys are definitely the TAG Champions...

Oh yeah.............we kick serious TAG butt.

Nice job Don.

I really thought that that one would be hard to find.

John

[motomac]

Way to go SoCal. Looks like they got a little action in CenCal too. Carole and I will be back next weekend. We're in Tulsa now and will be in Eureka Springs tomorrow.

Ditto I agree .............way to go Don!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what John was thinking when he picked that spot and made you ride all that wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[dteel]

Nice job Don.

John

+1 Good job Dan, I didn't have a clue where that was at, heck if I hadn't stumbled across my last tag, I wouldn't have had a clue where it was at either.

Now to see about making a trip up north.... :D

****UPDATE 09-19-2008****

Trip up north complete, the tag is now back in the far reaches of SoCal once again. The guys in the northern counties may have gotten one tag (or two) but the masters of the game have retaken the tag.

Best of luck the the SoCal contingent on keeping this moving. Excellent job Don at moving it north, seems that the guys up there just weren't interested in playing though.

[DonP.]

Oh come on, there is nothing there to google! Play fair!:p:
I'm going to need help here...

I thought Adam or the Capt would have jumped at the chance to bring it further north!:(


If I knew you were in the area I would have bought you a frosty at Cook's.

How did you like that little canyon road?

Congrats on your fist tag Dan! Wow, what a job! :toot1: :hat1:

Vicki and I drove past there today, went on a cruise for our 24th wedding anniversary. Seen some interesting tag spots on our ride today. I will have to keep them in mind next time I get a tag.

Well Happy Anniversary to you and your wife too Don, thanks for the comment.

As soon as Vicki and I got home and seen Dan's post, she looks at me and says, "Let's go ride!". Well, when she so eloquently states the ST-Owner motto at me, I grab my helmet and say, "Let's go!" and off we went.

Sorry Dan to make your tag the shortest lived tag in the history of SoCal, and most possibly the shortest lived in the entire US....

So here's Dan's tag spot...

As you already know Dan, there are a lot of really nice places you can get with your KLR. I wish you only the best of luck my friend. I look forward to the next tag spot!

Oh, I suppose we could get some snow pictures for those Colorado folks, but why they'd want to see more snow, I'll never understand. It's not likely to happen any time soon though, maybe in December or January.

BTW, wasn't yesterday about the most perfect riding day? I found some less traveled roads. The temps were in the 70s the whole time, not too hot, not too cold. I had a great time, not a lot of miles compared to many but 244 miles in a single day just putting around SoCal is a lot for me. All in all I think we spent about 5 hours in the saddle.

[dmulk]

It was awesome weather yesterday.

I made a comment to Ryan when we were in Julian about how it seemed like it was the first day of Fall....the smells....the way the light from the sun was shining....

.....this morning....I wake up and on the radio.....they state that it's the first day of fall... :)

<D>

[dteel]

When is Mac back in town with womanbiker? I know this tag is going to be history soon.

BTW Dan, wanted to complement you again on a great tag. That was way cool, don't know how I missed it until you tagged it. Those sculptures on the top are way, way neat.

[motomac]

It's "womantriker" and we have been a bit busy at the home front. Change oil in the Wing, new tires on the trailer, new roof on the party room, meeting with the Wanderers and ensuing ride. If the ride gets up that way today, we may be able to take it out, but I have no idea where we will be going. Sunday we have a dinner for about a dozen folks and I leave Monday for OH. Tag is safe from us.

[John_Diego]

Tag, your it!

[motomac]

Dang, we just went through Pine Valley and Lemon Grove this afternoon!!!!! Going to Adams Avenue St Fair tomorrow, so the tags are safe from me. Carole and her triker Buddy, Nancy may catch this one after I've gone east. It was fun while I was here. Won't be back until after FLSToc.

[MeanST]

Tag, your it!

I can see you are a fair guy............no way on those other tags:bow1::bow1:

[dmulk]

Ahh I see that you picked up my on stylish "Black" rims :cool:

:pig1: George

[motomac]

Man, I cannot believe noone went out to Lemon Grove to get this tag today. I was busy packing and getting ready for the big dinner we put on for the Wanderers, so I didn't have a chance to get out of the house. I leave in the morning for Ladera Ranch and then Ohio. I may go out there in the morning and get it. Move the tag up to the Mission Viejo area!!!!!!!

[dteel]

Vicki and I had just arrived home in time to put the ham we were having for supper in the oven when I seen the post by John tagging our spot. We spent the day on the bike riding out to Santa Ysabel then off to the East Grade to Palomar then down the South Grade. Seen a lot of bikes, most of the cages were pretty courteous and moved out of our way. On the way up the East Grade, we were tailed for awhile then passed by a fast '07. Sure would like to know who that guy was. I was in the groove and even two up I was humping up those curves and I couldn't' even place two car lengths between him and I. I finally slowed and motioned him on. After about 2 minutes I never saw him again.

Anyhow, I mentioned to Vicki that John Diego had tagged our post :bow1:, and asked her if she wanted to go get then new tag spot and she said no. Not with dinner in the oven and a full day of riding under our belts.

The good news, she "MADE" me stop in Santa Ysabel on the way back for pie. Had a slice of Strawberry Rhubarb, and she bought a full pie of Mountain Apple Wild Berry pie with the crumb top (Dan's favorite if I'm not mistaken).

So even though I didn't get the tag yesterday, I'm quite pleased with my day of riding and the adventures that I had.

Now I get to work and find that I can't log into my NMCI comptuter because I forgot my CAC card at home so I guess I'll just have to ride back home to get it and then ride back to work.

[motomac]

I am on my way to Lemon Grove!!!

[motomac]

OK boys and girls, the tag has been moved to Ladera Ranch. Went through a tremendous rain storm in Oceanside on the way up the 5!!! Good luck.

[dteel]

Well, all the guys from the northern part of the SoCal area have been clamoring to move the tag north. I swear if that tag is still there next Sunday, I'm going to be all over it and I'll move it to the Mexican border.

:toot1: The challenge has been made. :toot1:

[motomac]

Good on ya Dana!!!

[DonP.]

Ok, too close to pass up! Thanks Mac... I know I should probably have moved it further north or east but...I think I'm on an island up here anyway.:rolleyes:.

Sorry the lighting wasn't so good at the Avendale shot, but while standing in the intersection to take the pic an OC sherife deputy pulled up and was giving me the evil eye. "You see officer I had to stand in the middle of the road at rush hour to get the tag for the" "ouch, hey, wait, no, no don't tase me BRO"....

So here you go,,, Thought it kind of goes along with the Chad Vader thing..."if" you need a hint, try to line the shot up with the torpedo in the center...:p:

Enjoy the ride!:D

[motomac]

I passed that building on the way to or from Turbo Tom's TechSToc, I know where it is, but will let someone else tag it. In fact I will probably pass it again on the way to the 91 in the morning!!!!

Don, I'm not going to tag it, I just let you know I know what and where it is!!! If I tagged it, I would move it somewere near Barstow on the way to I-40!!!

Don't push him guys, or he'll challenge us to get a Tag in Canton, Ohio!

(gas up the bike capt gruuvy)

[dteel]

Nice tag Don. Wow, I don't have a clue where that is. I guess I live a sheltered life. Sure looks cool though, very futuristic for some reason; looks like it could be a shot right out of Battlestar Galatia. :yr1:

You're lucky Mac is other wise occupied.

What is SoloTotoCoyote doing, why hasn't he tagged it yet?

womantriker (your partner in crime!):confused:

Carole,

1. Click "User CP", pretty sure this means User Control Panel
2. Click "Edit your details"
3. Scroll almost all the way to the bottom and look for a box labled "2008 Miles", there's an input box there and you need to ensure that you use six figures, for example mine is 017150, or the change will get rejected.

Hope that helps!

I'm still trying to get caught up from when I was unemployed for two weeks. It's amazing how such a short time period can can set you back pretty good. I hope to be back in the game soon. :D

[DonP.]

I hope to be back in the game soon. :D

Dooood. It's in OC, come and get it before it returns to the Mexican border!:06biker:

[SDGeorge]

Better make it quick....guess who has to go the Beverly Hills tomorrow ? :rolleyes:

Not to worry I have to cage it this time :(

[islandstar]

ahhhh, I found the location of the new tag. Now to get out of work to get over there so I can move the next tag closer north

[SoloTotoCoyote]

Dooood. It's in OC, come and get it before it returns to the Mexican border!:06biker:

When I have the funds, I don't care where the tag is...........I'm going to get it and I'm going to relocate it nicely. :D

[AzDesertRider]

When I have the funds, I don't care where the tag is...........I'm going to get it and I'm going to relocate it nicely. :D


Hmmmmm, I wonder, what does "Nicely" mean to Adam? Does he sport an evil grin while pondering a 'nice' tag location....only time will tell...:p:

[dteel]

Not to worry I have to cage it this time :(

Darn George, you shouldn't have let them off the hook, it wouldn't have hurt if you left that last piece out.

I don't really care where the tag is either. I'd just like to see it keep moving. When I was last up to Dan's cabin, I saw what I thought were a ton of great tag spots. I was having fun searching out the tag spots left by my fellow San Diego area riders. I was actually being introduced to a lot of new locations that I've never visited before. The bottom line is that I was having fun, I believe this is what the game is all about, learning new things about the place you live and having some fun. My wife is actually starting to get into it and wants to help me locate tags and find new ones. I think she's caught the bug!

So you guys have fun there in the northern part of the SoCal tag game. But don't count us San Diego tag players out. We are willing to "Go Ride" to get the tag!

[motomac]

I have to say I am very remiss in not mentioning that George and John's tag was a rather pleasant ride down a dead end road for about 3 miles. No one in their right minds would go exploring that road unless the little sign at it's beginning pointed to a Rod and Gun Club somewhere on the dead end road. Not how far in or anything, but enough to get two guys out riding south to stop and make the right turn!!! Nice job guys, but it googled and was an easy find.

Now DonP's tag is a bit more of a challenge, but my son who is in the know about logos immediately picked up on it and when I told him I thought I had seen the building, he googled the company and sure enough it popped right up and indeed I had passed it. Don't know who will get it, but I miss being out there already and just got home yesterday!!!

[islandstar]

Hmmmmm, nice ride down there. Here's the first tag and the second
