After you get a tag, update the tag map. Updating the tag map is a critical part of the rules.

Starting on June 1st, 2010, anyone who does not update the tag map will be penalized .5 points (1/2 tag). So... learn how to do it before then.

It's not hard...

1) Go to the Google Map and click "edit"
2) Click "add placemarks" icon and drop it in the location you want
3) Edit the icon to make it a motorcycle
4) To insert the photo, click "Rich text" and then click the photo icon

So MA/NH have one of these threads but we don't. There is a Vermont thread like this on ADV but not everyone here is on ADV (and it's currently stuck in Southern Vermont).

So here we go...

Vermont NESR Tag-O-Rama.

Rules:

1. Find the tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here. Give a few hints so the next person can find. Try to place the tags in interesting locations, maybe a bit of history that can be found down some nice twisties.

2. Tag must be: a) findable & b) placed on a public road.

3. The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.

4. One tag at a time. File photos are NOT permitted. You gotta ride to play this game.

5. The next tag has to be within 50 miles of the last tag. So while it has the chance to get to a remote corner it'll take a while to get there.

6. To keep the tags moving, if you claim a tag please try to place the next tag that same day. The maximum time to place the next tag is 48 hours . If it takes you more than 48 hours to put up another tag, you fail.

7. After you've claimed a tag, update the "found tags" Google Map. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...41699&t=h&z=12 Starting on June 1st, 2010, anyone who does not update the tag map will be penalized .5 points (1/2 tag).


I went out tonight to get the ball rolling and took this shot somewhere North of Burlington and South of St. Albans.

Ready...

Set...



Go!

[Doc]

I know where that is!!

[mrezra]

Ok, you guys win for overall scenery... No idea where it is, but I would like to find out someday.

[Doc]

Does the next one have to be within 50 miles?

[jcbell1007]

damn, i've driven there before, I just can't remember where it is...

I think the 50 mile limit is in order. that way people like mark don't pick something way up in the northeast corner that will never be found/ridden to again.

[Doc]

I was just heading out and it started to rain... Maybe later today.

[catamount]

I was just heading out and it started to rain...

Weak sauce.

Does the next one have to be within 50 miles?

Yes. Updated rule: The next tag has to be within 50 miles of the last tag. So while it has the chance to get to a remote corner it'll take a while to get there.

[MattD]

I was within 5 minutes of it when I had to abandon ship. I couldn't bear the rain any longer. Plus it was still another 20 minutes back home in the downpour. Next time!

[Slyder]

I'll have to do some riding to get in on this...but I can garantee if I get a tag I'ma make the next fellow do some riding to get to it

Hey Matt you are older school NESR than I am! You coming to bike night?

[SVenpointsixtwo]

Ah, I know where that is too! Maybe I'll make it up tomorrow if it hasn't been moved already.

[markbvt]

that way people like mark don't pick something way up in the northeast corner that will never be found/ridden to again.

I only do that to the ADVrider guys. I got sick of it always being in southern VT so I moved it to Alburgh, about as far northwest as you can get in Vermont. Unfortunately now it's back down south, and I haven't had time to go reclaim it.

--mark

PS: Don't talk to me about the rain yesterday. I got it all the way from Barre back to Burlington on the way back from my Kancamagus ride. Right through the middle of the thunderstorm. I haven't seen it rain that hard in a long time, let alone ridden through it.

[jcbell1007]

that's funny. somehow, I knew you would do that.



its all part of the game though, don't let me stop you.

Oh wait... We did on that ride last year!

[markbvt]

No, Doc, this rain made that little cloudburst last year look like a light sprinkle.

--mark

[markbvt]

Is no one going to go claim Justin's tag? The ADV one is back in the northern half of the state too.

--mark

[Doc]

I might be able to go get it today... If I get outta work soon enough.

[catamount]

No, Doc, this rain made that little cloudburst last year look like a light sprinkle.

--mark

I think Mark rode through the Tornado.

I thought for sure someone would've gotten it by now.

Good, this is getting sad. I tried to make it easy so it wouldn't last long.

[SVenpointsixtwo]

Im here! Got the pic but wheres the tag?! Cant upload the shot, on my cellphone...

[catamount]

Huh? The "tag" is your photo! But until you post it you haven't gotten shit.

3. The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.

[SVenpointsixtwo]

Ohhhhh.... I thought it was a physical tag gaha....

[Slyder]

you can send txt / pic from the cell to an email address, type in the address instead of the # and send it to yourself, then upload it.....if that is what you were saying.

[SVenpointsixtwo]

BING!



New tag comin' soon... couldn't think of one off the top of my head and didn't have time for a proper ride today.

[MattD]

Grrr. I just got home with this tag. What's the rules on not posting a new tag right away?

[Doc]

I think if you have the new tag you should post it.
