Hey E, if you know where it is go snap a shot and tag it and then you have 24 hrs to get a different location up.

Bravura · 08-07-2009, 06:51 AM

Somebody going to get this today? If not, I'm going to go get it after work.

JeffInAlbany · 08-07-2009, 09:49 AM

I'll get it if you don't. Damn, wish I could get off early ...

Osufireman · 08-07-2009, 02:03 PM

I'd try for it but I haven't the foggiest idea where it is

.

Perhaps a clue would be helpful.

Bravura · 08-07-2009, 02:16 PM

A clue....ha!

Jeff and I both know where it is and we'll probably run into each other when we go get it after work. Fortunately Rick is out of town and my only advantage is I live in Corvallis and Jeff has to race back to Albany to post pics...unless he's got one of those fancy reeemote, telegraph, image thingies all you hip kids have these days.

JeffInAlbany · 08-07-2009, 03:29 PM

Here's a clue ... it's a schoolhouse!

Nope, which I had one of those things where I could instantly post, but all I have is a blackberry. No built-in camera...

What?!?!?!? Give it away? Why don't you just tell him it's in Brownsville too?

JeffInAlbany · 08-07-2009, 04:27 PM

Closer to Crawfordsville, isn't it?

JeffInAlbany · 08-07-2009, 05:50 PM

Oops ... guess it was out the other direction.

tbolt · 08-07-2009, 06:00 PM

Ooh, Bravura's gonna be upset when he see this!

How can I be upset with a ride like that!! Good Job Jeff, sneak out of work early???

tbolt · 08-07-2009, 06:11 PM

I think this thread would be ten times more entertaining for me if I knew where half these landmarks were...

What can I say, I'm no good at these kinds of games.

About ten minutes. But I made the mistake of taking a "shortcut" through Crescent Valley and out Sulphur Springs Rd. Would have been lots quicker if I had gone 99 out to Tampico - I was SURE you were going to beat me to the punch!

Be prepared ... I think the next location will be pretty well recognized (maybe as much as my last one).

Bravura · 08-07-2009, 06:59 PM

You beat me by 16 minutes, you had to ride home to Albany and I had to ride in from Tangent. I'm surprised we didn't see each other. All the more fun.

elton · 08-07-2009, 07:52 PM

now your going the right way

tbolt · 08-07-2009, 08:27 PM

Good work Elton!

hrothgarbike · 08-07-2009, 09:05 PM

So far the locations have been fairly easy. I know better than 60%. The boat landing got me, as well as the Harrisburg gazeebo.

This will stay successful if the places are fairly recognizable, and with in a short (less than 1 hour or so) ride. If the distance gets too far, folks won't have the time to run out. If they are close it will be a chase! I would have loved to get the Soap Creek school. Chances would be better I would be on a bicycle. No time....... perhaps the next one.

Rules state "your bike" it doesn't say motorcycle, I think you get bonus points for your bicycle. The wind and the risk is the same, I don't think anyone here would object, so go for it!!!

Ahhh, Tangent. My office is out near Creekside. Not so far to go, but on the other hand getting through Corvallis was the longest part of my trip (got behind some grandma on 53rd and couldn't pass). But as for posting, I live in NORTH Albany, so I just cut through Adair and came home the back way.

JeffInAlbany · 08-08-2009, 10:22 AM

Saturday's challenge - when you get back from your ride.

...

This one should be pretty easy. Sorry, the picture isn't that hot. I forgot about the ditch in front of the statue and the road shoulder is pretty narrow. Extra points if you can remember what advertising icon the "teen" kid is part of ...

Cruizer · 08-08-2009, 11:35 AM

Great place to have breakfast. She has $4.25 special mon-fri

I'll keep messing with this computer... maybe figure this out

Cruizer · 08-08-2009, 02:04 PM

Working on this between things at work.

Maybe somebody can give me a clue how to attach picture... I was out at this place for breakfast. Got picture ... just not smart enough to figure out how to get picture posted.

Thanks

Go here and read all about it

Hope this worked.

If you guy's go here to try the breakfast special... the pancakes are larger than the plate.

Cruizer · 08-08-2009, 06:15 PM

Cruizer · 08-08-2009, 06:17 PM

Thanks for the help 10guy and beanbaxter..

Cruizer · 08-08-2009, 07:39 PM

I guess I better tell where the last picture was.. Shirley May's Restaurant, a few miles east on Hwy 20 close to Cottonwoods. You guy's have all picked great places... now to go figure what to post up.

Cruizer · 08-08-2009, 08:57 PM

I believe the Icon is one of the statues made for A & W .. there was a family of them.

Cruizer · 08-08-2009, 09:09 PM

The pictures are from my cell phone... so forgive the quality. This is going to be easy.. Wish I had more time today....out of time ..... heading for coast in hour or so.

Thank You to the person who thought up this game. Have Fun

Very good, Cruizer ... here's the rest of the family (Papa, Mama, and Baby):

The Teen Burger was A&W's best seller, back in the day. Your basic bacon-cheeseburger...

Osufireman · 08-09-2009, 02:42 PM

I know where this one in too...but I don't have my bike for a week, I let my brother borrow it

Well, maybe your brother needs to get the tag.

hrothgarbike · 08-09-2009, 08:56 PM

What I want to know is, how old is the photo of the A&W family? That must be from the 70's?

The photo I posted was of a private collection (notably missing the Teen ... seems suspicious...). The Burger Family was phased out in the early 70's (except, apparently, in Canada) and was replaced by the rather lame "Great Root Bear" as the mascot. You can find pictures of a number of the Burger Family in private collections. I hear the complete set is still on display up in Hillsboro at a former A&W that is now an auto dealer.

Cruizer · 08-10-2009, 09:29 AM

It sure would be nice to see Shirley's repainted all original except for A&W label on rootbeer.

Have any of you ever stopped and tried to eat the 2 huge hotcake's, 2 egg's, 2 sausage..$4.25 week day special at Shirley May's? The pancakes droop over the edge of the plate. Also, another great place for breakfast is at the Otis Cafe near Lincoln City. Good bike ride area too

I kind if figured somebody would have got my picture figured out and posted before I got back.

Cruizer · 08-10-2009, 09:36 AM

Just took another look at Shirley's Icon... Is that the teen boy... oor another version of the dad?

Bravura · 08-10-2009, 10:25 AM

I know where it is, but job keeps getting in my way. I'll go get it after work if Jeff doesn't beat me too it.
