The previous tag, a missile guarding the entrance to the mostly abandoned Chanute Air Force Base outside Champaign.

The new tag, with Halloween approaching, it seemed appropriate to tag a quaint little cemetery in the middle of nowhere as the ghouls get ready to play.

The previous creepy cemetery tag, the Massock Mausoleum in the Lithuanian Liberty Cemetery outside Spring Valley. It is supposedly guarded by a hatchet man ghost and always warm to the touch.

The new tag, also on the creepiest cemetery in IL list.

I could never get an in order down loading of pictures in the past. Tried to renumber the pics in the past but no luck.
I always go back and read previous posts as to not make the mistake of going to a wrong tag location.
The reason that I go back to view previous posts is some members will do a tag move as separate posts to get the proper order. Thus 2 posts to show a tag move.
I also had this problem. With a better camera, I have to resize my pictures in order to upload them as attachments. When I do, I also save a copy to the desktop and rename it at that time to keep them straight. Easy to find and upload, and when complete, I just drag the desktop copy to the trash. That procedure has solved it for me.

Great day for a ride, too, if a bit cold to start with. Had to use the 'lectrics to cope with the 36? to start. Patchy fog at first, but cloudless skies. Went past a couple wind farms that were at a standstill. We'll see if someone a little further downstate picks it up.

Old tag is the White cemetery, supposedly haunted. Near Barrington.
This one is a ways away. It'll get you out into the country.

Nicely done, Bill! Good to see you back in the game. Not sure if I can git er this fall, but if Cyclenut doesn't (don't count him out) the spring it will be.

Good move Bill! I got what I asked for at the RTE by the Bridge! Good to see you Iowa boys come back!!
Sorry about that. I figured it was such a nice day, it wouldn't be unusual for someone else to be out too. My tag was so far away, I had to start early and work fast.

Beautiful day for a ride. The cortisone shots in the shoulder are working, at least for now, so....

The old tag is the very sturdy, well built Wolf Covered Bridge on hwy 17, ESE of Knoxville.

The new tag, Mr Will B. Rolling. He has a twin, Ben Bikin', in Sparta, WI.

Nice to see you back in the game, John. Nice move. I'm going to be busy for a while, so might not be able to get it soon. It's be a nice ride for others to come to the area.

A fantastic 333 mile round trip ride today moving a tag(I thought) only to have my camera crash on me during the return ride home and lose a dozen or so Pictures!!!
What would "FRED Flinstone" do right about now?? I better run down to the Post Office.

The bottom line is that it was a great day to ride! Jealous, I am, but all my chillens and their spouses were here for 4 days. We won't mention the number of beer containers that currently reside in my trash, but it was fun. Still, maybe next week after a quick run to Ohio tomorrow. I am hopeful for at least one more tagggin.

That's why I often try to post before I get home. I thought about going for it today, but thought someone else might try for it. Little cool but nice sunshine day otherwise.
