If I read the original post correctly I don't have to go and take a picture at the exact same place right?? I Just need a picture with courthouse and statue right?

You need to go get another photo of the bike at the same location as the latest tag, no prior photos can be used.

Nope, no stock photos.
It has to be same same as he has pictured (at least as close as possible).

Downs · 01-07-2011, 10:18 PM

Yeah I knew no stock photos. I know some photo tags like the big one that covers the whole nation over on sport-touring.net you just need a current photo that represents what they have shown in the previous one. Basically if they take a picture of a train with their bike in front you can go get a picture of a train also it doesn't have to be in the same spot the last pic was taken.

But I've got it now for this one. Thanks for the clarification.

I had originally thought the same as you, happy tag hunting!

**BeemerlessBob** · 01-08-2011, 10:12 AM

Oh, and also notice in the rules that you are supposed to copy the original tag to the best of your ability. That means you also need imto go break your leg so you can pose with a cast

How 'bout a group tag

See post at http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54598

I bet a group tag will mess with Jeff's mind trying to figure out whose turn it is.

**focus frenzy** · 01-08-2011, 09:02 PM

some info on the old one.

Charles Barnard, who founded Glen Rose on the Paluxy River, was an educated New Englander who came to the Republic of Texas in 1843. There he joined his older brother George in the operation of Indian trading posts beyond the advancing white frontier. Well liked by the tribesmen for their fairness, they prospered, bartering civilized goods for things like fur pelts and deer and buffalo hides.

One very special item for which they bartered successfully was a spirited, intelligent young captive of the Comanche - Jauna Cavasos, the daughter of a wealthy land-owning family of South Texas and Northern Mexico. Charles and the ransomed girl fell in love, were married in 1848, and spent the following decade at a trading post on the Brazos River in present Hood County, a few miles north of the Paluxy. Juana proved to be not only a competent trader herself but an outstanding mother, horsewoman, herbal doctor, and neighborhood midwife. Robert Summer's evocative sculpture captures the couple during this active, happy time.
After trading was ended in the late 1850's by the official removal of most Texas Indians to reservations, Charles bought land on the Paluxy and built a home and a stone gristmill, the nucleus for a community called Barnard's Mill, later renamed Glen Rose. The Mill, still standing today, ground settlers' corn and wheat and served as a refuge and fortress from them during a period of frequent raids by untamed Comanches and Kiowas. Many tales have come down from that era.
But Juana and Charles grew homesick, and in 1870 moved back to the old trading post on the Brazos, where they wereultimately joined by Juana's twin brother Juan, who happened upon her while driving a herd up the Chisholm Trail and later returned to farm and ranch and raise his own family nearby. In that setting the Barnards spent their remaining years, legendary in their time and place, surrounded and honored by family and friends.

he set it on his bike in a way that the breeze blew it off and it split the shield in two right up the middle.

we did some exploring around the interesting abandoned buildings down there.

WARNING!

I am going to go get this soon. There is no telling where I might take it. Once I get started, I may just go and go and go

So unless you want me to take this to some remote area of Texas, someone best go grab this tag real soon.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
