Officious PDX Area photo tag thread

[uPoNiT]

The Rules:

* To start, I will post a photo and a clue.

* Individually (or as a group), other participants ride to the same place and get a photo with THEIR bike at the same spot.

* The first person to "tag" the photo by posting their photo then posts the next photo for people to find. He/she is "it". One "it" at a time kids.

* The boundaries will be the Columbia River to the North, the Cascades to the East, Salem to the South, and the Pacific on the West

If no one is able to identify the tag, the poster can give progressively easier clues until someone finally finds it. The idea isn't to stump people, but to get people down interesting roads, so folks should be able to figure it out somehow. If nobody can figure it out in a week then "it" needs to tell folks where the site is, and the first person to post is then the next "it".

uPoNiT: Did you ride to this location and take the pic in the last week or so? (thinking it must not be too high elevation, no snow) Hmmmmmm any other clues?

[uPoNiT]

Took the picture yesterday.
Hmmmm.
Salmon season

[uPoNiT]

Clackamas County

[LC4CARL]

I've got it! Cedar, fir and salmon... Must be some place in Oregon.

I actually did pull out the recreation map yesterday to seach for parks in Clackamas county. This is going to be hard isn't it?

Ever done Geocaching?

Eagle Fern Park





After doing some googling (is that a word?) I found this pic on this site. It looked like a winner to me, and sure enough when I got there it was the place!

I'll post up a new one if I thaw out by tomorrow morning.

[dcamgixxer]

damn! I was trying to figure it out. I rode over to barton park thinking that was it...
Hurry and post your location mrfrankpdx! I want in!

Gratz Mark!!

I googled "googling" and found a wikipedia entry (which is an infallible resource), and it states:

The first recorded usage of google used as a verb was on July 8, 1998, by Larry Page himself, who wrote on a mailing list: "Have fun and keep googling!"

Do I have to go ride there, or can I post up a pic of somewhere I've been recently? I don't foresee going on a ride for a few days, maybe longer depending on the weather.

Yeah i think that should be fine Mark. The key to this game is to make it possible for people to figure out where the photo was taken. The 'key' to my tag was using google, which you did. However, feel free to use any 'key' you want. That said, if people start posting up places that are next to impossible to get to this time of year, the game probably will stall out.

Have fun!

This sign is found at the beginning (or end) of a very popular road for motorcycles.

[307T]

Hwy 53? I'll go out on a limb and guess the south side.

Nope, I left those on the north side of the Columbia.

Nope, it's near a waterfall.

Looks like the East End of the Historic Columbia Hwy, facing West.

[LC4CARL]

Gotta take the picture.

But I think you're right.

[HondaKilla]

Oops, I didn't want to ride out there in this cold ass weather. Count this as just another clue.

I know right where that's @!
If I recall correctly.......there's a locked gate @ the 10 mile mark this time of year......which I've rode AROUND a few times.
Had my old 550 Seca tapped out @ a buck & a quarter on that road once.



Is it Larch Mtn. road up outta Corbett?

I thought the SAME thing but, like you said, that's Corbett, not Sandy.

I think Sandy is referring to the river not the town.

[lena]

Anyone up for a ride today to get the pic taken with the snow on the sign?

I may take my coupe d'Ville for a look today. Should we allow it if done in a car? Maybe for only really nasty days me thinks......

Is that yours?! What an awesome car!

[uPoNiT]

Cold morning ice falling off the falls and everything. I admit to using a forest ranger to complete the quest. Once i found him game was sorta over.

It would have been real dangerous out there on the bike this morning so i took the monster boat. Cheater! Mostly i wanted an excuse to get outta town.

Now all you have to do is feed Asian children to giant birds.

[LC4CARL]

Very nice.
