• Tag Game Rules
    1. This is BY STATE
    2. Post a picture of your bike AND something easily identifiable
    3. The next person posts a pic with their bike in that same location or close enough to prove they were near that tag
    4. You can't posts back-to-back pics, you have to wait for a person to post the next tag
    5. If the location sits for more than one month, the person that posted that is open to move the tag. Previously Rule 8

    The Global Tag game is, obviously gloval and the North America Tag is for North America.

šŸ—ŗļøNorth America Wild Card Tag

Old tag: Museum. This is a firefighters' museum in Cumming Georgia--Forsyth County.


New Tag: Since Thanksgiving is coming up and traditionally this holiday has involved being thankful that the Native Americans
(Indians) were initially friendly towards the first colonists and helped them survive for the first couple years in their settlement here,
let's say the next tag is something related to native American history. About or involving the indigenous peoples of the North American continent.

If you can't read that historical plaque in front of the Chevron gas station on Georgia Highway 369, it talks about the Old Federal Road dating to 1803 when this land was all Indian land under the control of the Cherokee tribe. White settlers got to use this road with permission through a treaty --for about 30 years. Then came the great Cherokee removal of the 1830s when we forced most of them to march to Oklahoma
( "Trail of Tears") where the western band of the Cherokee Nation was formed.

Nice. Whatā€™s the new tag?
 
New tag is something that tells about the history of indigenous people. It doesn't have to be a roadside historical sign like this... it could be something else.
A historical site, for example.
 
That old tag is long expired ā€”-subject to an [edited for correction] RULE #5 move.
It was meant to be relevant for Thanksgiving Day and honoring the assistance of Native American Indians.


NEW TAG: A train station / railroad depot.
Older & historical is better, but a new modern one is acceptable. (Amtrak, anybody?)

This is the historic 1915 Toccoa Train Depot in downtown Toccoa, GA. (It has been repurposed and is now home to a museum of military history. I stopped here on my way back from South Carolina two weeks ago.

Keep those tags a rolling Gunsmoker. FYI it looks like it's a Rule 5 type move now!

From the game rules:

5. If the location sits for more than one month, the person that posted that is open to move the tag.

no ā€¦ there is no ā€œcurrent oneā€.

The old one has been satisfied and a new one has not been named yetā€¦.

Unless, Mellow, you are saying that failure to name a new challenge means you didnā€™t really satisfy the old challenge, and it remains open??!?

If thatā€™s the case, Iā€™ll get a picture of my bike at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Marietta, GA tomorrow after church, then IMMEDIATELY RIDE TO A DIFFERENT BUT NEARBY LOCATION TO PUT DOWN A NEW TAG.

Correct, the current one is the one with a previous and new tag... just posting a previous one without the new tag doesn't complete the cycle. So, someone can jump in and still move the tag.

This has historically been called being Bruced, since one of the 1st members in the past, named Bruce, jumped in and moved a tag after someone posted the current one but waited to post the new tag.
