It's all small stuff.
Re: NM Tag
I may have to get that tag on the way back to San Diego after I go to Ohio from Big Bend. I know of a couple of nice tags in Grants.

Re: NM Tag
wow I figured with the above threat someone would have went to Fiesta Park. OK, here's the old and new tags. Hopr it doesn't last as long as NoBull's!!! I think because the old tag lasted so long, I'll give you two choices. Good luck folks.

Re: NM Tag
Mac, we googled away and Im pretty sure we found both....We wanted the one with the Bulls on it. However you saying it is off 60, we might have the wrong spot...An old game show comes to mind with our location...

Re: NM Tag
I didn't say you could see the second one from 60!!! The second one is in a different town.

Re: NM Tag
Well, it took a call to Mac to get'er done, but I got'er done:
I had the towns crossed and spent a half hour looking for the coffee shop in Truth Or Consequences.
There's lots of potential Tags in New Mexico. For instance, the motel I stayed in Saturday night:
Or the Very Large Array antennas:
How about the Continental Divide?
Nah, too conventional.
My original intent was to tag Pie Town (the spiritual heart of st-owners). Got a photo of both pie shops
but both were locked up tight. This is my third trip to Pie Town in the last year and I've never found'em open.
My foot prints were the only ones in the fresh snow.
No car tracks in either lot, too. So, I decided they no longer deserve our respect, or our tag.
Moving right along, could tag the restaurant I _finally_ found open in Quemado:
Finally (yeah, we're nearly there) I decided to go right to the edge. The sign is in Arizona but the bike and the foreground are in New Mexico. Tag THIS!
This pic shows the stone state-line marker off the north side of the road:
All the other pics should be hint enuff of where these pics were taken. Now, all ya gotta do is get there before the next snow storm hits.

Re: NM Tag
NM tags? How'd I miss this?
OK I don't know how to play, is there a time limit? I only get up to the north side every month or so.
George got the second tag, is there a third tag?

Re: NM Tag
Not every state has a tag running, and not every state that has one is very active. It'll pick up as the weather improves.
I'm surprised Big Tom didn't get the current AZ Tag while he was out yesterday.
River, read the rules at the top of each TAG thread (TAG has it's own forum here.)

Re: NM Tag
Nice George, Im pretty sure I know where that tag is as well. I actually stopped for coffee at that same restaurant in Quemado, but I turned north and headed for home at that point. Pie Town was closed when I was there as well...

Re: NM Tag
George, you beat me to them. I was going to head out next week and get those tags. Your new tags are better (good route) for me. I should be able to get all of them in one loop.
Don't feel bad George about the pie. I have been through Pie Town 5 times and only ate at the Daily Cafe once. All other times both were closed.
River, post your tag and its replacement. Maybe I will be lucky and get that as well.
Later!

Re: NM Tag
Michael, I met up with a guy from Albuquerque in Socorro. He was on a 990 KTM, feeling the cold.
Only the last "tag" pic really counts but all those pics were taken along the same route. Easy enuff to find. Scenic route but not real twisty. I prefer the AZ side, especially headed south down the 191.

Re: NM Tag
Bump!
Has it warmed up in NM yet? I'll be headed that way next weekend and I can't get my own tag!

Re: NM Tag
George:
Looking at two pictures in your Post #12:
and
And, assuming that you left the bike in the same position for both pictures, it would appear that the granite marker should be on the south side of the road, rather than the north side. You'd obviously have to be looking west in the first picture (if your bike is indeed on NM property), which would suggest north is to the right side. But, given the orientation of your bike, and how it appears in the second picture, it would suggest that the granite marker is on the other side of the road - the south side.
Am I correct, or am I confused?
(99% sure I know where this is, but I won't be in NM for a couple of weeks - this one will probably be tagged by then)
