ha ha !

you have to take the picture in the same spot at the last person that tagged it

taking a picture of the landmark with your scooter in it does not count

someone give me directions to that thing

Are you serious? I've seen some pics that were as close as mine without being in the actual exact spot. And I got lucky to find an open service road with a parks dept guy working on the gate so I asked if I could sneak in and good shot.

It's a hundred yards away fer chrissake.

Thanks for the vote guys. I wonder if I should wait for tupelosue to chime in for the final word?

Anyway, the scooter tag rules I've been working from:

I say if you had to get through a gate and past a ranger than it counts.

My shot is from Green Island Road. I was trying to get as close as possible for a shot and just got lucky when I went to the end of that road.

Next tag coming up. It should be an easy one. And it's a beautiful day so everyone should get out on the road instead of scratching their head wondering where the place is.

Ok, this tag is harder than I thought!

First clue: It's at a Marina.

That was most definitely me. I have yet to see even a single MP3 anywhere near here. Probably doesn't help that Piaggio only sends of a few at a time and they quickly sell out.

I thought it already had died.

Second clue:

A popular pier that used to extend 3.5 miles into the bay.

I think there's a 'rule' that if the tag's not picked up in a reasonable amount of time, the 'it' person gives a clue per day until someone gets it.

This one was a straight, 10 minute ride from where I work. Couldn't believe it was so close for so long.

So where was the pier post????

Schlagle, I wish I'd realized it was you as the red mp3 at the bastards rally.

so many people there I didn't know or get to meet. I thought of taking a pic of my scoot in front of the welcome to california sign by the cal-neva and putting it up if I ever get another tag!

It was the Berkeley Marina

I was also contemplating posting a pic of my scooter with Half Dome in the background but I thought that may have been slightly out of bounds.

Was all of this before or after the movie? My memory is a little foggy after the movie. But I'm sure I held my liquor well and didn't make an ass of my self... NOT!

I'm still trying to piece together names with aliases.

At the speed this game goes in the East Bay, there's no hurry. The tag will probably sit there for a month before someone stirs themselves to go fetch it

Kind of like the Bay Area tag, which seems to have died on the vine.
