How about a game of NC tag? Its a lot of fun!

[Canada369]

Old tag: Brewery


New tag: Industry and/or Smokestack

Curious, I looked the company up. Their “…mission is to reduce carbon dioxide…” I know it’s more complicated than this, but, according to the sign, this place produces the stuff!! : )

 

[Caboose]

Old Tag: Industrial


New tag, A local historical marker:



The original marker no longer bears it plaque, but marks the site of the county almshouse from the turn of the century. View of the new marker placed at the base of the original:

oops, post edited! Updated now with my own historical marker found.

I think you may misunderstand the game. The rule is for someone to propose a tag, showing their NC motorcycle by some object or in some setting. The next player is incentivized to go out and ride and find THAT TAG, with THEIR NC in a photo. Now having won the old tag with their own NC, they now have the right to propose the new tag showing their NC in a new setting or with new object.

Point is, you or someone besides Caboose needs to show their NC with a historical marker. Historical marker is still the current tag. Previously taken “file” photos cannot be used.

Ah yes, I certainly did! I should have looked back through some of the posts. There is one 1/2 mile from my house, I'll get over there tomorrow and correct this!

Great picture but maybe change the challenge to "Bike with Lake (my lake is frozen)" A frozen lake at the start of spring/summer (in northern hemisphere) surely does not fit with the original rules of this game -.."but not so rare that it is impossible to find elsewhere" Certainly I in the UK won't be posting until at least next winter & I guess many in the US won't either. There's a building near me (in UK) dating from 1132, Fountains Abbey which I did think of posting, with bike, "Building at least 800 years old" would be the joke & challenge but that I think would be impossible for many to replicate

Thanks for the reminder for game players to keep the tag somewhat universal. This is an international forum with members living in different climates and around varied natural and man-made features. To avoid temporarily locking out some potential players, or causing the game to go stall, try to pick tags that have a wide audience. Or, add optional or more general tags as in Ajay 750’s example. I’m not sure I even have any frozen lakes around me right now without riding a few hours to find one.

True, I live in Florida, and even last month with the 8" of snow in the panhandle, there were no frozen lakes, ponds, rivers. The closest I would have been able to come to frozen water would have been my horse water tanks (slightly frozen on top).

Toll bridge tag, anyone? The closest one to me is probably 5 hours round trip.

Fair point. Not wanting the thread to stall over a difficult challenge, have changed it to "Bridge over water"

Old tag, bridge over water:


New tag is a campsite, bed and breakfast, hotel, motel, vacation cabin ,or other type transient lodging. Bonus “points” for being unique or uncommon:

New Tag - Mural on a building:

 

[Canada369]

Old tag: mural


New tag: sprinkler…could be residential, agricultural, etc.


The sprinkler is across the street, right above the GPS mount. I have to admit this is one of my worst tag photos. Rain hit after the mural photo. I was riding in the rain in search of something interesting for the new tag and rode by this active sprinkler. I turned around for it and it was off by then. The good news is that your sprinkler find can be off, small, and out-of-focus, too!
