DFW tag

[ed29]

Simple game..... figure out where the picture of the bike was taken.... go there and snap a picture of your bike in the same spot. Post up your photo, and TAG you are it. Then you get to post a picture of your bike somewhere interesting and let others figure out where.

Simple one to get started...

[Gilk51]

This is popular on several other forums. Susan and I (mainly her scoot in the pics) played on the Modern Vespa forum for the Fort Worth area but nobody else wants to play. :-(

So, we'll probably try this one.

Except I have no idea where this is :shrug:
(but I have a couple of ideas)

[ItchyBob]

So for DFW are we limiting to those 2 counties or those towns?

[DFW_Warrior]

Dang it... I can't see the pictures from work! Fooled again!

[pacman]

Tarrant County Courthouse?

[DFW_Warrior]

Tarrant County Courthouse?

Can you not read the rules?;-) Go there and take a pic of your bike then post it up!!!

Dang Burleville guys, always trying to mess up the DFW stuff.... :lol2:

hehe, I didn't read anything. :lol2: I just saw that it was a game and started guessing. :rofl:

Alright, that makes things a little harder.

[ed29]

So for DFW are we limiting to those 2 counties or those towns?

nope, for this game I am considering DFW as being the metro area...

[DFW_Warrior]

Okay, someone remind me to check this thread once I'm at home and can see the pic. We need to give this one some legs. It'd be nice to have a game that doesn't involve how well you can monkey punch into Google.

[Gilk51]

:scratch: I'm confused - can you elaborate on the boundaries?

[ed29]

The boundaries are open for common sense interpretation... The gulf coast is obviously not part of the DFW metro area, nor is Lake Texoma. I would consider Denton area to be DFW since north Dallas stretches that far north anyway. Any city or suburb or cow pasture that is near Dallas, Fort Worth or surrounding cities is fair game.

But first you gotta shoot your bike with the last pic feature in view. :trust:

[wonder91178]

I know exactly where that is :trust:

I wouldn't be able to get there to take a pic until the weekend though...hope someone closer recognizes it.

[Sleepy Weasel]

No pics = never happened.

[gixxerjasen]

Hey Bill, here's your reminder to check from home! :rofl:

This is going to be a fun game! Might give me something to do on my lunch breaks!

You're just jealous because I've already found it.
:rofl:

[ed29]

Now the fun kicks up a notch.... a few people know the spot....
:rider:

[gixxerjasen]

who's gonna be first? Sun's out right now. Nice time for a little ride.

[DFW_Warrior]

I'm heading there in a little while.:trust:

[DFW_Warrior]

You know... I uploaded this to my photobucket site, and now I wonder if it will even work because of the recent activity on the Ducati thread.

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa103/DFW_Warrior/PIC-0203.jpg

Edit.... dang, worth a shot. Alright, time for another approach..... LOL

[Gilk51]

Edit.... dang, worth a shot. Alright, time for another approach..... LOL

OK, where is that place?

Maybe provide an address of GPS coordinates when you find it?

[wonder91178]

That's the horse fountain @ Lincoln Square in Arlington :mrgreen:

Thanks, guess I just don't remember it.

Do they still have a Taylor's book store there? ;-)

[flb_78]

Doesn't count. His bike is pointed in the wrong direction.

[DFW_Warrior]

Alright, so here it is.

[Gilk51]

You have to say "Tag, you're it!" :nana:

[DFW_Warrior]

You have to say "Tag, you're it!" :nana:

Now the question is... do you know where I'm at?

[Gilk51]

Now the question is... do you know where I'm at?

Yeah, probably in front of a computer at work... :roll:

[ed29]

I have a good idea of where that is..... And certainly know which city.

[DFW_Warrior]

No one yet? I figured that this one was an easy one. I'm glad I skipped the hard ones.:lol2:

[ed29]

This game is slow, but lets see if it lives.... If this is still on the button after I get back here next week I will take a ride by the spot that I think it is and see if it matches up.

[Gilk51]

Tag!

Wider shot - taken late in the day so the shadows are long and the glare is high.

http://www.twtex.com/photopost/data/500/medium/L18_0413q.JPG

And this is where it is:

http://www.twtex.com/photopost/data/500/medium/L18_0414q.JPG

East of Cooper St. in Arlington, just north of Mayfield

Now, you're it:

http://www.twtex.com/photopost/data/500/medium/L18_0417q.JPG

OK, it's a gimme - we need some more players... :shrug:

[Jeephoto]

I want to play, too.

I recognized the first one, but couldn't get by to photograph it. The second, I had no idea. This third one, I just need to get by to photograph it.

I have MY tag picture ready to go!

This is fun!

If they get too difficult to figure out, do we need to include clues?

Larry

[gixxerjasen]

Dang...need to start carrying my camera to work with me.

[Gilk51]

Does anybody need any hints? ;-)

[Tracker]

it's too far for me to hit a baseball that far, I know that.

[DFW_Warrior]

If no one has it by the time I get back into town, I'll snag it.

[gixxerjasen]

Dang...forgot the camera again!

[Gilk51]

If no one has it by the time I get back into town, I'll snag it.

Sure, clues are welcome if nobody seems to know the spot. Ride on over and shoot the spot that Chuck has up and toss yours into the mix! It is going to be a great afternoon for riding!

[gixxerjasen]

This was as close as I could legally get to the sign in the above picture. Parking lot was roped off and the only way to get in there was down a sidewalk and wheelchair ramp. And there were some security looking folks giving me the evil eye, so I snapped my pic and was on my way. Hope it counts.

You can see the sign right above the very back of the passengers seat.

[gixxerjasen]

Here's my entry for the next tag location. Degree of difficulty is high for this one, for many reasons.

:lol2:

[ed29]

Good shot there.... dang that looks familiar but I am having trouble recalling from where.
It will find its way to the front of my brain after a while.

[pacman]

Yeah, I know I've seen that building, but I'm not sure where. I THINK I know, though, so we'll if I have time to buy a new bike and get the pic before this group figures it out.

Yeah, right. :lol2:

[ed29]

Wayne, this is a low stress game... If you figure out where it is we will let you do a cage picture while you are bikeless. or you could park a bicycle there and shoot it!

[DFW_Warrior]

Hmmm... Rachel swears she knows where this is. But we won't have a chance to get over there till Saturday'ish.

[Gilk51]

Kinda looks like a coffee cup... :coffee:

:ponder:

[gixxerjasen]

You know...I've never looked at it like that, but your absolutely right Gilk51.

[ItchyBob]

[Gilk51]

Hmmm... Rachel swears she knows where this is. But we won't have a chance to get over there till Saturday'ish.

Seems like it would be easier to get it during the week... :ponder:
(knowing where it is)

[gixxerjasen]

I dunno...there's probably less idiots running around on Saturday.

[Gilk51]

I dunno...there's probably less idiots running around on Saturday.

True. However, Bill & Rachel are closer to it on weekdays...

[gixxerjasen]

Hrmm...I think Gilk51 is keeping way too close tabs on our locations. ;-)

[DFW_Warrior]

True. However, Bill & Rachel are closer to it on weekdays...

However, both of us are working this Saturday....;-)

[Tracker]

dang. afternoon off, beautiful day, and I have no clue. :doh:

[Gilk51]

Well, I'm really not trying to give it away - I had some ideas where to look.

[Tracker]

Early Saturday run to Thanksgiving Square in downtown Dallas for a very, very large cup of Cappuccino with whipped cream.

http://www.twtex.com/photopost/data/574/0404090926b.jpg

[Tracker]

hint: it's not downtown Dallas.

http://www.twtex.com/photopost/data/574/medium/0404091129a.jpg

[gixxerjasen]

Nicely done Tracker. I added the level of difficulty in navigating all the silly one way streets into there. Good job!

[gixxerjasen]

Also, it might be more interesting to everyone if either the finder or the poster puts up some info when the location has been found. I'll start off with the location that Tracker found.

dang, I didn't mean to kill the thread.
I've already given a hint in post #65.

[gixxerjasen]

Yea, the pic didn't have a lot of clues in itself. You could possibly be more Prosperous with your clues by throwing in a few capital letters perhaps?

[ed29]

Okay, clues seem to be adding up here.... Prosper... Haggard.... Hmmmm.... I may have to take a ride north Saturday morning and see if I can find this place. If I am on the right track..... does the word 'Amberwood' factor in here?

[gixxerjasen]

FWIW, I was giving a guess based on available clues. Don't take what I say as fact. :mrgreen:

[ed29]

I understand... still there are roads to be ridden. Worst case scenario I ride around in the countryside and don't get thE picture... still sounds liek a good day to me! :thumb:

[Tracker]

Amber would tell you to not pursue the Prospeous way. Better to stick to the Plain 'o facts.

[Gilk51]

:ponder:

At least the prosper angle gives me an idea for another Prime location, when the Time comes... ;-)

Colonel Sanders would be a wayward path.

[Fuzzybunny]

I figured it out and with a little help from googlemaps street view, verified my theory. I'm going to go get a picture right now.

[Fuzzybunny]

Got it! It's on Park just West of Alma in Plano. I really don't know the name of the place, just been driving by it for years.

Dang it! I know where it is and I can't get to it!!! Ah well, maybe something good will be posted by the time I'm back on two wheels.

Ed, you da man. You rode to Southfork just for a pic! The Burleson crowd should be taking notes!!:thumb:

Hey, buzz off, ya filthy Vstrom rider. I didn't see your ugly mug in front of Southfork.

Remember Wayne, you can shoot your cage while you have no bike... go get it man!

I shall refrain. This is a riding game. ;)

Just want to include ya. being bikeless even for a while would be bad enough. Not getting to play... well that is salt in the cut.

Now, I must admit - she already used this for the Fort Worth Scooter Tag game on Modern Vespa - this was taken in November.

If that is not legit, I'll let another get it. In the meantime, you have a clue from the picture angle... :trust:

[ed29]

Anybody can play, and the pics don't have to be from today.

[gixxerjasen]

Yea, the game was west of 360. You had the option of keeping it over there for several days, but I had to ride through some windy weather from Dallas to bring it over here. Come get it! :mrgreen:

[ed29]

I did... see post 91!

Boy I am glad I'm not from Burleson.
I would be so embarrassed I would HAVE to get that pic, then post one from that other suburb south of Dallas, you know, Houston.

Anyway, now subscribed to this thread. Can't wait till I get to spend time back home and go chase a few of these down sometime.

After taking those I noticed that since they were doing night track practice.... the southern two thirds of the day track was just sitting there.... ungated and inviting. A few of the racers were hitting some of the corners there, fooling around. So what is a KLR rider with boxes of stuff bolted to his bike to do??? Of course he must join them! The big heavy machine did alright at the conservative pace I was running her. The whoops were such fun that I cut some corners to come back around and do them twice. The dads and teenage MX riders were looking at me like they were seeing a martien or something. Gotta love being just a touch insane!

I can see it from my work window,it was dedicated to a lady named C.J.Flippo. the hist. marker says watague, the zip code is ft worth and if you call the fire dept haltom city will come.
P.S G-20

[ed29]

Good hints... I think I have figured out the spot. Not sure I can get there and back on a lunch hour.... probably can though!

[Beemer Steve]

i guess you guys need some more hints it on a street named after the the lady that it was dedicated to.





if you need me to i can google you a map:rofl:

[ed29]

Gettin' there.... gettin' there....

Life gets busy sometimes and we don't always get to honor folks like this....

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd52/edhegarty/DSC01400.jpg

Hmmmm, now that was one of the hints... I must be gettin' close!:trust:

[ed29]

Watauga Presbyterian Church.... On Rusk

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd52/edhegarty/DSC01401.jpg

Tadaaaah!

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd52/edhegarty/DSC01403.jpg

[ed29]

This one should be a gimme!

Especially if anyone remembers the old Chuck Norris series 'Walker, Texas Ranger'.

( Yes, file photos from rides in the past are perfectly valid for this game)

[wonder91178]

Oh boy! :trust:

[Tracker]

That's not the City of Dallas headquarters, is it. :-P

[Janet]

That's not the City of Dallas headquarters, is it. :-P

NO :thpt::thpt:

[Beemer Steve]

i know were it is but i'm too tired to chase past history

[Gilk51]

Well, I got the wrong side:

:doh:

[tortuga]

But I got the front side! Nyah Nyah :nana:

http://www.twtex.com/photopost/data/500/medium/tag_location_5755q.JPG

[tortuga]

And the tag picture is:

hint: notice the street material. :mrgreen:

[Janet]

Well, I got the wrong side:

http://www.twtex.com/photopost/data/507/tarrant_ftworth_3855q.JPG

:doh:

Did you ride up those steps Chuck? Never took you for a hooligan :clap:

[Gilk51]

Did you ride up those steps Chuck? Never took you for a hooligan :clap:

:lol2: Actually, no - there is a street in between - you can see the parking meter by my bike. I took the photo across the street & down the hill a bit...

[Beemer Steve]

so this game really isn't dfw tag its more like go fish ( do you have any of these)

[Gilk51]

Oh, it's tag - but tag locations that have already been played in a different game.

Plus, the courthouse was a "gimme" (thanks Ed).

I doubt anyone has the current location ready to go, Mr. Watauga Church! ;-)

[ed29]

Hmmm makes me hungry for Spaghetti.
:trust: ;-) :eat: :rider:

[Gilk51]

Hmmm makes me hungry for Spaghetti.

Except that you can't get it there anymore. :-(

[Beemer Steve]

sorry I was just visiting there on sunday thought i would take a picture for you chuck.

[wonder91178]

I'm glad someone got the courthouse. I'm only a few blocks away from it but I was running a "smidge" late for work today so I took the vee dub.

[ed29]

Tourist traffic tried to do me in today but I resorted to some sidewalking to get the shot!

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd52/edhegarty/DSC01435.jpg

No holiday decorations today.

[ed29]

Okay, have we had enough clowning around? Or has the clowning just begun?

New tag:

http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd52/edhegarty/DSC01404.jpg

[Fuzzybunny]

Where was the last one?

[Janet]

Where was the last one?

I believe that was the Armour Meats / Spaghetti Warehouse in the stock yards.

EDIT I meant Swift Meats...not Armour

[ed29]

Yup, rebuilt in 1912 after a fire, it was the main office for the Swift Meat packing plant in the stockyards. It all closed after WW-II, then was the first Fort Worth location of The Old Spaghetti Warehouse. It is on East Exchange. The very first SpagW was in Dallas.
Sadly the restaurant closed a few years back.

[ItchyBob]

Now it's the IT offices for XTO.

[Fuzzybunny]

I thought that might be it, but it's been so long since I've been there I couldn't remember it looking just like that.

[voyagerrider]

Oh, Ed!!:giveup: I know exactly where that one is, but I will not be able to get there for a few days. I am sure someone will get there before me.
Marty

[gixxerjasen]

With the weather this week...you might just be able to snag it.

[Butte]

What, nobody else rode today? :shrug:

[DFW_Warrior]

What, nobody else rode today? :shrug:

Oh hush!!!!:lol2:

[Butte]

Oh hush!!!!:lol2:

:rider: It was actually quite nice a bit earlier.

Granted, I was by no means in the thick of any storms, during any point of my rides... But the regular rain was right on. :thumb:

[gixxerjasen]

I had to drop the baby off at the grandparents. I couldn't find a way to get the Graco base to properly attach to the back of the FZ1, and low and behold there's the clips in the back seat of my F150 for those, so he rode in the truck. :mrgreen:

Besides, I still need rain gear, so I'd have driven anyway.

[Butte]

I couldn't find a way to get the Graco base to properly attach to the back of the FZ1

:mrgreen: I think they might have a Givi mount for that :ponder:

I'm just talking big... I'd never ridden in the rain before today (not proper rain, anyhow), so I can't give anyone a hard time about it...

:sun:

[Morgan Buchanan]

Clown Hamburgers, Haltom City. Too bad they're only open until 6, it'd be a terrific M&G place, IMO.

[Morgan Buchanan]

There's a larger image if you want to see better detail here:

http://home.armourarchive.org/members/morgan/tag/tag5.jpg

And you don't have to wear a funny sweater or goofy socks to find this place.

http://home.armourarchive.org/members/morgan/tag/tag5s.jpg

[ed29]

Funny sweater.... Goofy socks.... good clues!

I think I know where this is!

[DFW Dano]

Yeah, me too..... Bet the weather is not going to let me get to it before someone closer gets it!

[Beemer Steve]

i'll have to wait till weekend for the long dist tag out of county ,but i pulled this one from a file does it count.

[Fixer]

man..I wanna see some tags out towards east dallas.....I wanna play!!!

[Beemer Steve]

man..I wanna see some tags out towards east dallas.....I wanna play!!!
come get this one then you can move it that way

[Janet]

man..I wanna see some tags out towards east dallas.....I wanna play!!!

Fixer, it's a "riding" game. :trust:

[Fixer]

i know..but being new to tx...I have NO clue where that is. I'm good for riding..just dont know where to go...

[Morgan Buchanan]

I've done over 100 miles to get a picture. It's fun! And I ain't from around here... and finding these Tarrant county places has been odd, I barely ever get over that way. Clown Hamburgers was easy....I used the interwebs. :) But this site is really easy to find using the picture, frankly.

[Fixer]

well if I can get this one, I'm going to head out there. have to take some pics of a friends bike tonight...so might do both if I can.

[ed29]

It is DFW tag, so yes anything that is part of the greater DFW metro area is fair game. To my mind that easily includes Denton, Dallas, Tarrant, and parts of Collin, Parker, Johnson, Kaufman, Ellis, and Wise counties. Riding 100+ miles for a picture is part of the fun!

[Morgan Buchanan]

It's about the journey, not the destination.

[gixxerjasen]

Fixer, I brought it over to the Dallas side, but they took it back. Go get it!

[FJR Bandit]

Is this TAG a seperate game from Texas TAG? or did it just grow up to being Texas TAG?:ponder::shrug:

[Gilk51]

Is this TAG a seperate game from Texas TAG? or did it just grow up to being Texas TAG?:ponder::shrug:

Different game - there are 2 running right now - DFW area and the whole state.

You can play in either one. ;-)

[ed29]

Different thread... some folks out of the area wanted to play too, so they opened up the Texas Tag thread. Scoping this one for DFW kind of excludes the Houston, Austin, San Antonio, New Mexico folks. The trade off is that the tags are all within riding distance of the participants.

One other notable difference is that file photos are allowed here in the DFW thread, excluded in the Texas Tag one. If a tag matches a place you have a photo, and you have another suitable for being "it" jump in and play remote.

[Fixer]

Fixer, I brought it over to the Dallas side, but they took it back. Go get it!

I found out where it was last night. if its still up when I get home & the weather is okay, I'll snatch it.

If anyone see's a rider in green on a black zzr600 with pink stars on it...thats me...i'll be riding fast..cause its pink :) my bike is down for another day.

[Morgan Buchanan]

Fixer, I brought it over to the Dallas side, but they took it back. Go get it!

Who's "they"? Because this isn't exactly a "dallas" or "fort worth" side as it were. My last "win" I drug it up to Carrollton. If I do it again, I'm thinking something even farther north east. LOL

[gixxerjasen]

Exactly, if I get the chance, I'm dragging it to the far east side of the DFW area. :mrgreen:

Fixer, if I were able to...I still don't think I'd go with ya. Can't be seen with a speeding pink bike ya know? :mrgreen:

[ed29]

Zactly! There is no 'they' in this game, just 'us'. I would just as happily make a run to Mesquite, or Garland to grab a tag as I would place one in Burleson, or Aledo.
It is about running here and there, which is why it is tag, not stump.

Saturday is my first chance to go north to get the tag that is it right now. If it is still it by then... :trust:

[Morgan Buchanan]

I appreciated the chance to go to Clown Hamburgers, because I'd never eaten there... and with the hours they're open, I doubt very seriously that I will get a chance very often.

[gixxerjasen]

Well, I found it...

http://www.leanangle.com/pictures/twtex/tag5.jpg

Now, if it's still available and I can manage to ride my bike to work this week, I'll go snag it. We'll see.

[Fixer]

Exactly, if I get the chance, I'm dragging it to the far east side of the DFW area. :mrgreen:

Fixer, if I were able to...I still don't think I'd go with ya. Can't be seen with a speeding pink bike ya know? :mrgreen:

well if I head out there tonight I'll PM ya...you can lead so it doesnt look like your followin :)

[gixxerjasen]

I'd be way too slow for you....maybe. Don't think I'll be able to get away anyway.

[Morgan Buchanan]

I don't know if that's it... my place didn't have little arrows floating in the air... LOL

[gixxerjasen]

If you shoot from a lower angle, the arrows you'll find are very flat and will disappear in a photo. You must have shot from such an angle. :mrgreen:

[Fixer]

well the rain looks to have passed through Plano. Rained a little bit here. Nothing major.

[Morgan Buchanan]

QUICK! It's sunny and clear! GO GO GO!!!

[gixxerjasen]

Rode to work, forgot the camera. DOH!

[beardking]

I finally found one (online). If the wind doesn't pick up too bad by the time I get off work tonight (and the rain doesn't come back), I'm going to try to get out there and get in on the game.

[Fixer]

man..on the way home last night the weather was okay.... but I got home and it just started to pour. No rain gear, so I stayed inside.

Its nice again in Plano, so if this stays like this tonight I'm getting it. I should have my part for my bike so I can ride Mr. Green....

would it count if the bike was in the back of a truck :)

If you're out tonight and on your way home, me and a couple other TWTers will be at High 5 from 7 to 8ish, and then at Twin Peaks Lewisville around 8:30.

[Fixer]

on my way home now....postal service will kind of deyermin if im riding.... ill be @ high five though if I do. ill try to get there before 8.


+sent via 75 south

[Fixer]

@ high five now...

[Morgan Buchanan]

We left High 5 about 7:30, thought it was kinda lame.

[beardking]

Well, I spoke to soon. The wind wasn't a problem, the rain wasn't a problem. The wife making plans for me without warning me, now THAT was a problem. If no one gets it before me, maybe I'll get a chance to get it this weekend. That'll give me more time to figured out a suitable follow up shot. Really wish I knew more interesting spots around the area.

[ackthpffth]

I have the bike and the camera, but not the clue of where it's at. How about some more clues for the slow kid in the class. :giveup:

[ItchyBob]

Try a google search on the plaque at the bottom of the horse. Maybe even google image.

The ugly socks tip is for the town.

Thanks for the help.

I think my biggest problem is that morgans images are always show up as red X's for me. The only image I have to go off of is the one from google maps jasen posted the other day and when I zoom in close enough to read the plaque, it's way too pixelized to even see if it has writing, let alone read it.

[gixxerjasen]

ackthpffth, since you can see images on my server, I hosted it for you. Here's a link.

http://www.leanangle.com/pictures/twtex/tag5-original.jpg

Good luck, and with a little creative searching you can find it on google. I found this one easier on an actual google web search than an image search though.

Cool, thanks! That plus itchybob's help helped me find it. Now, I just gotta wait until lunch to go get it. :rider:

[Fixer]

I should have gont to TP in lewisville last night..we could of done a group shot in front of it. I have the bike @ work today, I'm thinking about maybe taking a long lunch @ getting it. I just dont know if I can post a pic from my phone.

[Gilk51]

Funny sweater.... Goofy socks.... good clues!

I think I found the location but no clue on the clues! :shrug:

I may be too late - maybe it will be gotten at lunch today...

[Fuzzybunny]

Those are a little misleading since it's not actually in that town, but just east of it.

[gixxerjasen]

Those are a little misleading since it's not actually in that town, but just east of it.Unless you google it. When you google it, the address given matches with the clues. However, if you look at the map and switch to street view, it shows the address as the town next to it. Odd stuff.

[Morgan Buchanan]

I think it's because the "town" it's in isn't really exactly a real REAL town, but it's a town that's a part of another town... you know how that incorporation crud goes. But with that plaque name, google puts you right on top of the statues.

John Turturro would be a real Fink if he went to this town.....

You don't need another 405 to see these 2 horses....

[gixxerjasen]

C'mon ackthpffth, where's the pics? Lunch is long over, and with where you live, you can definitely bring this game to the east side.

I can see it now, this game is going to look like a ping pong game. Bring it to the east side, west side guy comes and gets it and takes it back, then back to the east. Sounds like fun. Maybe we should make a new rule. :mrgreen:

Well, I got the current picture but by the time I got back to this side of town my camera battery died. :doh: So, I'm gonna have to go get the new tag in the morning. Unless night pictures are allowed.

[Fuzzybunny]

Why not?

[Morgan Buchanan]

You got the tag, you post it as soon as you can and hope someone doesn't' beat you to it, I don't see the problem.

[ackthpffth]

Why not?

I dunno... It's just that all the pictures I've seen so far are in the daylight. :shrug: There could be some rule that it has to be in the daylight.

[ed29]

Yup, if you got the current one then post it up. Heck, if you don't have a new tag to post until tomorrow or Sunday, well that is alright. The game will keep. Night shots, day shots, new shots, old shots.... all in good fun. I have a couple of shots I have picked up along te way for when it is my turn again.

I'll have the new one tomorrow.

[Fixer]

well..@ least a Kawi got it......

[gixxerjasen]

Heck yea, no rules saying you have to be ready to go with the next tag to claim the current one. Just, uh, don't drag it out ya know! :mrgreen:

Good job on finding that one and snagging it too!

[Morgan Buchanan]

Ninja Ninja Ninja Ninja Ninja Ninja Ninja..... :) Good on ya!

The clues...

Sweater and Socks - Argyle
John Turtouro - Acted in Barton Fink, and the actual address is Bartonsville, which is sorta part of Argyle
You don't need another 405 just to get these two... 405 + 2 is 407 and this is on FM407.
