VA-Western: Tag

SilverBullet · Jul 18, 2008

Looks like VA needs to get on the ball so I thought I would get something started.

This picture took place somewhere on the Blue ridge Parkway. Can you find it?

Re: Western VA:TAG

I re-titled the thread so we could play tag in other parts of the state, too.

With this tag being on the BRP Im surprised no one has tagged it.

stinger_06 · Sep 2, 2009

Ok you Virginians, another North Carolinian has moved your Tag. Here's the old one that's been sitting for almost 2 months.

Here's your new one. You will have to go on the Parkway for this one. It's somewhere between the old one and Fancy Gap.

I got to race a deer going to the old tag................of course I slowed way down and let it win, because I knew it would cross the road in front of me.
Then on the road going into Fairy Stone I saw 3 more in someones yard, they were happy where they were so no worry there. Then on the Parkway, a rather large doe came bolting out of the woods in front of me.:22yikes: Luckily, I had plenty of time to avoid her, but she still scared me to the point of shaky leg syndrome. No, this was not the end of it, saw one more, a good size fawn that still had it spots. It just turned and ran back into the woods
without crossing the road. Needless to say, I was very alert with all these sitings. In six hours time I saw 6 deer, that's 1 per hour of riding if you want to break it down that way.....................way too many for me.

The new tag is on the BRP and if I'm not mistaken the parkway is in the western part of the state. This tag is just a bit north of Fancy Gap.

There is no reason to split VA into a western segment... and WV already has a thread. This one will be closed.

Re: VA: TAG

Actually, this had the most recent tags so I killed the other VA threads... just one per state unless the state is a large one and needs to be split. VA does not qualify.

No problem...............now hopefully someone will move this Tag soon. I'm surprised it has not been moved yet, considering a lot of us like getting on the Parkway.

I'm going to reply to this in a separate thread, because I think it merits discussion.

Re: VA: TAG

It is confusing when a tag is labeled Westen VA or Central FL and there isn't a Eastern VA and NoFL and SoFL. We had a fairly intense discussion at FLSToc about the CenFL tag. It was agreed FL needed 3 different areas, but noone wanted to define them. It is a good days ride from Tallahasse (sp) to Key West. So the same with VA, I can speak for VA as I lived there for 21 years. I agree it should be at least two areas, east and west would be OK, I don't think it warrents 3 sections. From Eastern Shore to a line north and south through Charlottesvillle???

Looks like it will be a while before this one can be moved.

This one has been sitting a very long time. Was a great day for a ride and a wonderful destination.

New Tag

This was just a little farther West on 58

The Paved pull-off just up the road was full, so either place is fine with me
It's all Lover's Leap

stinger_06 · May 29, 2010

Well................It's about time it got moved.

Thanks T-Ray, and BTW nice tag.
Hopefully some of the Virginians will get in on this.

T-Ray · May 29, 2010

I was on my way thru, and couldn't resist. Looked at the WV Tag but didn't have any luck finding it. If nobody snags the Ohio Tag early in the AM I'll move it South.
