GA: Tag

OLD TAG
P1011412 (Custom).JPG
Oak Hill Cemetery, Cassville Road & Erwin St, Cartersville, GA
Interesting Marker -- General Young was George Armstrong Custer's room mate at West Point.

NEW TAG
P1011416 (Custom).JPG
This site lies at the foot of Vann's Valley named for a famous Cherokee family. In fact this community was part of the property owned by that Cherokee man prior to the removal in the 1830's.. People still come to get water from the spring here -- and probably have been doing so for hundreds of years. My Dad's mother was born in 1882 on a farm near here.
This site is only 41 miles from Dallas, GA, 52 miles from Acworth and Powder Springs, and 38 miles from Cartersville. Somebody needs to get this tag -- the weather is perfect for riding lately.

Georgians were relieved that Georgia School for the Deaf was established here in 1847 for their children. Prior to that their only option was to send them to Hartford, CT for education.

Peculiar sign on the way to the new tag at the "Big Spring" in Cedartown. I like it when you're given enough information to make your own decision. They could have just posted a "NO SWIMMING"
sign.

Hey guys,
Looks like this has been sitting for a while. I just picked up a 93 ST11 last week and joined here today. The TAG is not very far from me, so I may head that way my next off day and grab it.

Go for it Brad!! It's only been 4 months since I posted that Tag -- I guess the N Georgia riders have all been riding up in the mountains. I was born & reared in Lindale and my brother lives in Silver Creek so it's all good for a Floyd County ST rider to get this Tag and set another one.
Rgds,
Terry

Friday will be the first chance I get to go after it, unless I can skip out from work early one day which is unlikely. Saturday I'm heading up to Tellico Plains for some good mountain riding, maybe on the way I can move it higher up in elevation so it will be cooler for folks to go after it.
 
Finally got a chance to go get it.

Old Tag:
Rolater park in Cave Spring.
Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics, once I got to the park I found that someone had swiped the new batteries from my camera. I stopped and bought some on the way to the new tag, so a better pic for that.

In an attempt to move this thing, I'm putting it in a good riding spot and making it obvious with the sign. Enjoy goin after it.

Go get it.

I think you'll enjoy the ride up there and the view from some of the overlooks. IMHO, one of the best bike roads in the state.

You were right! Nice ride, nice roads. And a great view just around the corner. I even talked 5 other bikes into going with me and the weather cooperated. Cloudy (cooler), but no rain. Thanks Tagalong!

Decided, long as I was there anyway, buy a pie: strawberry/rhubarb! Weighed about 6 lbs!!! Delivered it to Tim 'n Ernie at Two Brothers Tires!!!! Made their shop the new GA tag!!!!! Ate pie with good friends. :D

Tim is feeling much better, still complains about a stiff neck. Otherwise, all is good. The fresh hair covers the scar very well.

Now THAT is a good way to make a TAG. Good on ya George!
 
Well now I feel stupid. I was thinking it was a hole in the wall, hard to find in the middle of no where, not on the internet at all kinda place. Didn't think to Google the sign. DOH! Teach me to ask questions.

Way to go George.
 
It was 61 misty degrees when I stopped at Keel Brothers. Tim had a doctor's appointment, but Ernie was happy to pose! The new tag can be found by following my SPOT track and finding a two named town along the path! It was 59 when I got to Barber!!!

Wow, you don't mess around Motomac! You did swing South :D Looks like you went thru Birmingham as well. I wonder what tag was over there?! :) Will be watching what State you take that one to.. Between you and George, I need to be more spontaneous. As I said to George, would be glad to meet you next time you blow thru Atlanta... Wait a minute. George's pic has Ernie AND Tim in it. Don't you have to have the same picture?! Buyahahaha. Seriously tho, nice job on the tags! :hat2:
