After looking at all the fun "Gas Station" pix, I thought of a thread that might be some fun for everyone. We'll call it "Where Am I?" and the process is simple. I'll start by posting a picture of a place in Texas that has my motorcycle in it. Your job is to guess where that picture was taken. First person to post the correct answer then gets to post their place with their bike in it in Texas. Next person to guess correctly then posts their location and so forth. If the thread goes too long in the eyes of the current picture poster, they should give some hints as to the location. Enough to steer us in the right direction, but not enough as to just flat give it away. Also, try not to post some obscure place that has little chance of anyone being able to identify the location. Then again, those could be kind of fun with the right 'hints' along the way. It's NOT a game of Marco-Polo. There has to be a reasonable chance that many of us KNOW that location.
And make the filename something other than the location name! It's too easy to look at the picture properties and guess from that...
This could be a fun way to see some nice stuff in Texas, then find out where it is by collective effort. Maybe some of us will then go visit that place since we might have not known if it's whereabouts. The picture can be a building, place, structure, odd sculpture, interesting sign, just about anything that has some permanence to it!
Only the person who's turn it is can post the "Where Am I" picture. (They control the 'ball') Let's not turn this into everyone posting a picture all at the same time. You'll have to do a bit of reading to see who's in control and if you guess correctly first, then YOU get to post!
Note 1: IF you venture to take a stab at the location, KEEP CHECKING THE THREAD until either you are determined the winner or excluded. Some correct posters have gone up to a week or more without checking back and posting up their picture stalling the fun. Please, if you guess, then keep tabs on the thread and be ready to post where you are as the winner. I'd suggest a few in the 'queue already hosted somewhere so you just need to drop the link and watch.
The new winner will have 24 hours to post up their Where Am I pic from the time control is passed from the current ball holder to the new one. That will give everyone a reasonable amount of time to dig up a pic (hopefully they've got one in the queue). If the new ball holder can't make the 24 hours, post up you don't have a pic and pass it to someone on the CREDITS section. If nobody is in the CREDITS section, open it up to the next post, a friend, a newbie, but let it be clearly known your intent.
