Going back to the very first post and picture in this thread, how would a person ever know where that street was unless they had driven by it a dozen times? I still don't know where it is..
You are right, that was a hard one to find. I thought it was fun, though, to give tips and clues, which is actually part of this tag game--give cryptic clues that don't give it away but help a creative mind to close in.

My first tag was within Camp Pendleton, southbound. A very nice place to ride through.

That's what I mean ... hardly anyone rides through Camp Pendleton, so how would they ever figure that out? I guess my mind is not creative enough to remember a street that I have never been on, and if you can't google it, how would you find it?

Speaking of finding things ... do you guys want another clue to my tag?

+1

Whenever there is no response or no hand raising, after a new tag is posted, it is up to the tagger to help that it can be found.

Progressively revealing clues are what will keep this going.

It is in San Clemente and it is a Historic building. Go back to Yard Sales original clue ... he is partly right on both counts. Any more clues and I will have to give you the address.

Another one for the non-vespa's!
Here it is, I'm not sure the name of the building. If you head south on the 1 (PCH) until you get to San Clemente Metro-Link station then you will see this building. 100 Pico Ave., on Pico and El Camino Real.

It is the old Casino San Clemente (from the 1930's) and later was Sebastians Dinner Theatre (in the 70's).

Got it!
It is a petting zoo in San Juan Capistrano close to the last tag.
I thought he was going to spit at me!

Thanks, although I think any scooter would look good in front of all those colors. It looks like a rainbow threw up

How about a hint
I would enjoy knowing where
to look, other then within a mile
from the other tag. Closer to the
mountains? Some where near the
middle of town, something.....I just
don't know the area that well.

Initial Clues - it looks like a house, but isn't. You would however want to visit it.

For all the North and central county folks, this one is most definitely South county.

Good luck anyone who's still in.

TOO LATE!!!!!
Wife and I went for a ride this morning to find the tag but we were too late. Oh well here is the pic any way and we had a great ride. We also saw the jail house tag. We drove all over looking for this one and I had given up. My copilot gave me crap and started directing me around and we found it. Great day for a ride and to escape the kids.

I know it. Not from memory, but from your clues, which were very good by the way. I haven't gone over there to tag it ... was giving someone else a chance to get it. I might try to get it tomorrow!

Next clue tomorrow before the weekend if Alice does not get it first...

Also - just my observation - but the game seems to have slowed a bit since only South county spots are being focused. I say we open this back up to the whole county, BUT let's be sensitive not to have all of the tags be in central coast spots (yes we were in a bit if a rut). Let's spread it around, North, South, East, and coastal....What do we think?

Here's another clue to the last one....

Arnold the Governator might consider selling this beach property to help pay for the current budget deficit.

It promises to be a nice weekend, happy scooting to this tag...

Taking the game back to the whole county seems fair. I did not tag the last two, hoping to give more players time to get there. Looks like it is more fun to play in your own back yard!

I went to make the tag, but there was a $10 entrance fee to get in to where the tag was located. I didn't pay the fee and therefore, could not get the tag.

Nice pics, Yardsale. You look quite relaxed!
