lots of time passes between tags, which is okay as we probably all have lives... of a sort. but, let's see who can get the next Effin tag first?

... dont forget that time to find/ride to tags is limited to weekend daylight hours for those of us working silly office jobs. With so few playing, we wont see quicker tag turnarounds until days get longer, or the Effin weather gets warmer.

Glad you found this one!

that's an effin good tag. some of the daily specials there looked like they might be good for after a summer evening scoot.

anyone up for coffee and a ride to the big top?? I'll check back here earlish in the am. I think DR's tag is only going to be around until the 24th, so can't let tooooooo much time go by!!

I agree. I had taken pics at 2 other locations and they were blurry.
I will give a hint to get the boring tag over. A community college by highway 15.

I am surely guilty of some boring tags, or tags photos that might seem familiar to me, but don't leave enough visual clues for the rest of the players.

As for blurry photos, I ended up ditching my cell phone camera and older Olympus 790w for a better camera (Nikon AW100) to help with capturing higher resolution pics with little to no blur.

With so few players in the game nowadays, I lean toward less cyptic tag photos in favor of photos that yield a faster tag turn around.

I'm sure one of us can make the trek to this mystery water(?) tank this weekend...

Hint: be sure to snap a pic of the plane, not any 'sensitive military locations' in the vacinity, or you'll get a few MP's hustling your way.

not a great place for vegetarians. possibly not for veterinarians either, but I don't know that for sure. chocolate bacon brownies are a winner, so are the macaroons. the lines, however, can be long... always a good sign for good eats!

it's a little hole-in-the-wall so pretty easy to miss as you ride by
