I'd say I-74 as it's easier to recognize.

Welll, by virtue of the fact that he's a congressman and all that... Aw hell... Who said there was logic involved anyway?Mark, using your logic, a congressman from NY shouldn't be able to dictate land use n Utah (re: current bill to designate more of UT as "wilderness"). D'oh!
At any rate, here's how I'd split Virginia: CLICKY

Awright - someone decide between Illinois 136 and I-74. I see the merits of both and don't think it matters a great deal either way.

Hey who is this Patti F that updated the map that didn't get mentioned for helping ???
Guys I was kidding about Il. Leave it whole. Leave all the states as one, that's what makes it challange.
Seems to me if you split this too much some of these areas will not get moved just because of the split , in other words riders that play tag are not going to those areas much in the first place.

The whole idea of the Tag game is to encourage folks to get out and ride, hopefully to places they've never been. If a state is split into pieces, you're just limiting where folks have to go to get a tag. To the next county, the next city,,,,, defeating the purpose of the game. And yes, a tag may sit awhile. If that bothers somebody, then they should go get it! Don't split states up just so a tag isn't more than X miles away and turn it into a competition to see who got how many tags.
And face it, there just may not be enough ST riders out there to keep these tags moving as quickly as some would like. We are a very small number! That's just a fact.

I would think so, not much use in having regions if they didn't have to stay within that region.
I disagree with that a little.
If a state is split in two then there's twice the chance that someone will get out and tag and there are twice as many tags going on at the same time... in Texas, you can go get the North and South tags at the same time with the current locations and that may encourage more people to ride.
So how come George, Fred D., and I have moved the TX tags for most of this year???!!! What happened to the Texans???
Well, If I was retired I could probably do a lot more tagging but as it stands I can only tag if it's during a trip I have planned.
I don't put a lot of importance on tagging myself as I don't get many free weekends to just take off and tag. I have to save my time for trips that I feel are a better use of gas and tires.

Gotta admit I don't do many tag-only rides. Usually associated with a trip tho I will take a side trip and add some miles and time.
I have the time and interest to chase tags. Adding a day and a few hunnert miles is all part of the game for me. Mac and I are lucky to be able to do such.

I don't think so!!!!
We would need little mascots... not sure what they'd be...
It can't be a dog or kid Tom Padden doesn't get along with either of those.:
