How about this: if Geo isn't able to post a new location by Sunday evening, then maybe Rex could post a new location on Monday?

Penguin... I have no idea where you are going with the train reference.
Rex... Besides the race track, I spent a lot of the weekend preparing for our baby, which is due next weekend. Shopping, cleaning, baby shower for mom, etc. I probably should have gone to MS Quin Rally today... |

FYI: The La Jolla Methodist Church building was formerly part of the La Jolla Hermosa train station, a stop on the San Diego Electric line. I think I also read that it formerly housed an electrical generation substation. There's some more interesting reading online at the San Diego Historical Society.
I had the picture composed in my mind every time I passed it on La Jolla Blvd. Just finally had the reason to shoot it! |

Quote: I heard a rumor that it can go 20 miles past the county line is this true? For me, even going north of Solana Beach is impossible without planning a whole day around it. 20 miles over the county line is way too far. And that's coming from someone who lives on the far north side of the city (UTC). At that point, you might as well start a combined South OC/North SD thread, since they're having the same issue with north vs. south OC. I mean, I'm probably in the minority here and that's fine. But, as we saw with the B&B in Fallbrook, taking it up that far just slows things down since a majority of players are at least an hour's hard riding from there. Not to mention the fact the locations and local roads are less familiar. So, I would vote to set the boundary at one hour from a central point. (the harbor?) That way, the majority of people could hit the locations in an easy ride after work, rather than having the game sit idle all week until someone can take a day to ride out and tag it. |

Ian,
I'm fine with whatever rules the players want to adopt. My opinion is that one of the fun things about this game is riding to new places and seeing new things. You mentioned that you can't make it from UTC to Solana Beach (about 11 miles) without planning an entire day around it, that may be a little too restrictive to include many people. What do those of you who have been playing so far think about boundaries? I do think someone should have to get the newest pic, since Matt & Patty got the last one. Karen, Rex, Geo, what are your thoughts? |
