Some one just had to ask. Sometimes whats hard for some are too easy for others.

TAG I saw you the other day pull out by the kindercare place the other day on my way to work... I was wondering why there was another motorcycle in the rain =\

I will post up my pic tomorrow after my ride with a couple friends.

[05viffer]

dang! caught in the act.

[ninjarider]

ok where was that one? that sure doesn't look like a kindercare to me

[05viffer]

where hall crosses over 217 in tigard there is a kindercare at one end of the overpass this "temple"? sits back in behind kindercare. I figured it would be a hard one since its so far back off the main road that most people never see it, yet still unique enough to be found by someone who knew. I guess I have to be more covert about my photo taking.

[capthowdy]

I lived in Tigard for about a year before I was like I see that building everyday on my way to work.. wtf is it? When I first drove back there was a bunch of people staring me down lol. You can see it from behind Jo-Ann fabrics(used to be Safeway on 99w & Hall). It is a small short cut I take on my way to work =P

[FZ6Rider]

Where is our next picture to get???
Wake up people, weather is good and I feel like riding.

[MaDroX^]

Ok so capthowdy and I went riding yesterday and this is the new one, i took it with my phone. Im sure capthowdy will be on soon to verify. Have fun, and be careful how you get to it =)

[FZ6Rider]

At least I know where it at.
100 mile ride.

[CBRinPDX]

You're not supposed to post the 'find-tag' with the location sign in the picture..

But thanks!

*edit*

The road leading to this site looks like one twisty sommabitch

100 miles? Are you sure, FZ6?

[RevrdMark]

here this one is "just outside" the boundaries, if you have a long lunch break

Yup, i'm sure. 100 miles for a round trip, but its not 2hr ride. Its defenetly not I-5 slab.

Who's up for it?

Ok, yes. ~100 round trip

I don't know why it has to be a secret where the location is. The purpose is to get out and ride. The turnover might be faster and there might be more involvement if the location is known and there is perhaps even a discussion of the best routes to get there. Just my view from the peanut gallery.

Is that why you haven't joined us yet? But that's half the fun, playing Sherlock. Maybe you should go play Matt's game, it spells out the locations but there are three instead ...

^^^I think having the locations a mystery disadvantages those of us who haven't explored many of the Oregon routes. If the purpose is to get people out to ride, then why make it a mystery so that only those who already have ridden a lot to remote places can play?

you can always tag along with someone and get a tag. I went on a group tag with about 5 other riders once. xswebe goes out with two other riders and gets tags almost every weekend.

[Transported]

^^^That's a possibility. But, then, again, it frustrates those who don't recognize landmarks that only the cognizenti know. You have to arrange a time to roll when others can go. And, then you've got five or six riders all sharing the tag. How does that work? Maybe it should just be group rides to the next tag spot?

I'll butt out now. You all seem quite happy with things the way they are.

[8 lives]

group riding has pretty much been my only option because i don't know many of the tags either so you are not the only one.

[xbswede]

I am terrible with land marks buts its been fun finding them.

[puzzledpanther]

I agree, otherwise its just a ride. "Hey guys, I found a nice ride to, so and so."

I've tagged two or three and never knew where the heck they were before a few hints and a good search online. You need to put in the effort to get the payoff, IMHO.

[DGA]

I know where most of these have been, but I sort of get agitated having to get off the bike if it's not running on empty, or I don't have to pee. So actually stopping to snap a picture, then finding another tag is just very unsettling for my simple little mind. I do like watching you guys compete and undercut each other to get the next tag.

[lena]

Brit bikes don't stop for any other reasons, huh?
Maybe you should give us a photo tag with you in it, relieving yourself, instead of the bike.

[capthowdy]

Just a heads up it is a bit messy out there and section of the road the park is on is gravel.. We did see 2 deer and a bald eagle though really cool.

[Rider4Life]

there should be some good tagging going on this weekend, we have the weather. Knock em down and post them up

[Angus McGee]

I can't believe no one went out and got this tag today. It couldn't have been a more beautiful day!

This is one of the reasons I created Follow the Leader..... now that the weather is getting nicer hopefully some of you will play that game also.
I plan on doing both...... get out and ride

I smell a lil party poopin, really this one is easy if you know how to use google and just drive, i would tag it but im one of the bikes in the picture...

[MaDroX^]

elk bend camp. look it up on google =)

Maybe I should have said I plan on CONTINUING to play both? The only reason I don't have this tag under my belt to add to my collection in this game, is that I just got back from an 1100 mile road trip to Southern Idaho for my dads birthday.

I'm going to be out of the tag game for another week and a half though. Start work tomorrow then when my weekend comes around I'm headed out on another road trip through Washington and Northern Idaho.

[Rider4Life]

wow, still no one????

[uPoNiT]

Not to moderate, but i'm also surprised nobody has bagged this one. I think you guys are right in saying that half the fun is figuring out where the place is. I remember giving a week for tags, so if nobody has gotten this one by Thurday we'll have to figure out what to do. You are out in Beaverton Rider4Life....go get it!

Be careful what you ask for.
