Well the gate thing I hadn't counted on since I sort of BS'ed my way through without paying. In that case I will give you a choice. I also took a picture of the following tag the same day and it's real close (same area) as the other tag. Take your choice. Hope this helps.

If you know where it is, you should ride there and tag it yourself.

Here's the new tag, moving closer up the coast to you No. County peeps. It was absulutely beautiful riding to these tags this morning! The weather was perfect and the traffic was super light. I guess the only way to move this game up north is for one of you No. County peeps to make the trip south and bring the game back with you. We do have some nice tag spots here, though, that's for sure!

Here's a hint ... the statue depicts the founder of the city in which the tag is located.

Nobody has got this one yet? It's an easy one. I have not been able to ride for over a week because of knee problems and now that I can ride my camera took a dump. Shopping for new camera. My wife also came home the other day and said she found the next tag spot for us to use.

Give these guys another clue for where to find this tag.

How 'bout if I just give the address? Seriously, I think the problem is that no one wants to ride there to get the tag. If your wife already has the next tag location picked out, you'd need to get this one to be IT!

It is an easy one. Like plenty of us have said... we know WHERE it is, it's just a matter of getting time to get over there. I actually rode my LX to work today, and while I live in Ladera Ranch, my work is in Tustin (kinda the opposite way). I won't even have a SHOT of getting til this coming weekend.

Last weekend I had hoped to get there, but I ended up being in Anaheim all weekend for the Ace of Cakes deal... so... unless someone beats me to it, I should have it by Sat.

I will happily give up my tag and just let someone else go tag something in another area ... it is up to the rest of you. The game seems to have halted and perhaps it is time for me to throw in the towel on this one ...

I can't speak for everyone, but my problem has just been Summer. Too many other committments and too much traffic through Laguna on the weekends. I just haven't found that bit if extra time at the right time to bunge down thhere and snag it, but I will keep thinking about it until I do, or until someone else does it first.

Ugh! I guess I have less time than all of you together, but if I only knew where this guy's statue is, I'd much rather ride over there than do what I have to do instead.

From the picture and the clues, I have an idea of who it could be (starting with a D?), but I haven't seen the statue (or don't remember seeing it), so I'd be like blind, trying to find it.

Maybe Orange County is too big for the busy lifestyles we all seem to have. What happened to having time to live?

Right you are!

I'll see that I make the detour tomorrow after work. Funny thing is, I had a hunch where this could be, and now that I know, I realize that I never saw that statue there--the stupid stop sign always has me look for the non-existing traffic.

What? Now you come from out of your county, into our county, to snipe it last minute? Good job, Karen.

It was a nice ride, though. Very refreshing to get over the top of the hill on Niguel Rd, down into Dana Pt, and enjoy "the breeze".

Oh well. Here's what I had in mind for the next one, but I guess it is now just up for discussion and ID.

Oh, and I passed by the greeter on the way back, of course

Besides, it's been over two weeks. You OC peeps need to get out and ride more.

not too late for a ride (ok, enough with the taunting)
By the way, your mural was going to be the tag - decided to keep with the statue theme instead. The mural can be "it" if you want.

No, no, no, you call the shots. If you decide so, you may choose my mural as your IT. Your statue is more exposed, though, in both directions, if I may spill. One must go NE to see the mural.

Ooooh George... that one IS trickier. Hmmm.. I KNOW I've seen that before... now if I can just remember where. Those hills in the background should give me a clue...

tricky tricky tricky..
