I think that is an important thing to remember, we can all suggest sites to visit. Seems about 1/2 the list is the same as last year, and I think for this thing to grow, it needs to have a lot of variety each year to keep it from getting stale. I have put in 2 so far (the K-T-M caboose in Katy and the Stephen F Austin statue in Lake Jackson).
I have a few others I am thinking of, but want to make sure they are accessible for a pic with the bike.
And yes, the pollen stinks. I had 5 days off last week to do some riding, but was just to light headed to do any distance riding with all the sinus stuff going on.

The coffee place was a pain to get a pic. No parking spots, 3 pm and the Navasota streets were actually busy.
I ended up just pulling into the hashed out area and grabbing a quick pick.
Glad my Goldwing has reverse. First time I actually needed it.

Yeah, that is almost one that you should take with just you and your flag. They say 10% of your submitted pics can be just you and your flag.I've planned a two day East Texas swing next month that includes those stops, and I remember from last year that getting a pic at the Classic Rock Cafe was a b*tch.
We got to the classic cafe late in the day. I think they were closed. We had no problem parking in front. I think theyāre pretty lenient about the photos. Just as long as they can see your number and some part of the item. I had a few marginal photos and they didnāt object to them.I've planned a two day East Texas swing next month that includes those stops, and I remember from last year that getting a pic at the Classic Rock Cafe was a b*tch.

Password is with the paperwork that came with the flag.

They are a sponsor, so they probably will be.That coffee place is a pain. I took the pic last year after they had laid down some chip seal, it was hotter than he**, so got some of the tar on my boots when I ran across the street to take a picture. I hope it's never a spot again.
In addition to the three stops I mentioned earlier, I plan to hit the Texas State Railroad Station in Rusk, the Elvis mural at the Goldwater Antique Mall, the Palestine Visitor Center, Texas Sidecar Company, and Horny Toad H-D. I'm taking a few days off so will do it during the week. I'd like to check out the fire museum, railroad station, and maybe the visitor center and will probably hit the Cafe for lunch if it's not too busy. But the rest will just be photo stops.OK, my password is in the letter with the flag. I had just skimmed over it when I got it and did not realize it.

I guess it just depends on the day and time you are there.
Apparently 3 pm on a Monday afternoon is not good.
Both Dime in a Box and the Fire Museum were simple. Pulled up, walked around for a bit to stretch the legs, drank a little water, pulled out the flag and took a pic. Put the flag back, looked around for a bit at the Fire Museam, went and looked close at the dime (wonder why 1917 date on it? Year it was founded??).
The coffee place was drive by twice, seeing the little hashed off spot up front, pull into it, jump off the bike, grab the flag, take pic (making sure not to step out into traffic), put flag back, then back out of spot, trying not to get hit by traffic.
I have actually been there in the past a few years ago with my mom when she lived out that way, she liked the breakfast waffle they had, I don't remember what I got (maybe a quesadilla?).
My next round will be either San Jacinto Monument/Anchor blown a mile/Mystery boat or Gonzalez Jail Museum/La Salle Monument
They are a sponsor, so they probably will be.
I like that angle way better, we did ours from out on the main street and it was much more crowded and a little more sketchy.
Thats a great idea. Glad I saw it before I get thereHere is my pic from this year. No traffic, no crowned street, much easier...
I'm still only 22 shy of them.Has anybody here got all 50 yet???
I think there are over 30 that have hit all 50. Iām only 37 shy of 50 .Has anybody here got all 50 yet???
I am only 45 shy of 50.I think there are over 30 that have hit all 50. Iām only 37 shy of 50 .
Well I'll be, there sure are.There are 3 stops in Coleman if you go for station
Congrats!50 down none to go.
Linda and I took a ride to West Texas the last few days and knocked out the last 14 stops we needed Including number 50 which was semi close to home.
With the still hot weather West of home, we were riding at first light and looking for an early check in hotel no later than 1pm.
EDIT: Was a little more efficient this year even with getting food poisoning in Fredericksburg and having to make 2 trips to the Hill Country instead of one. Made 5 weekend trips including the one we finished today which was 1519 miles.
In Total we rode 4352 miles for 87 miles per stop.
