    I match your fountain...and raise you a set of Stocks

    One Fountain


    Next Tag a set of Stocks or a jail that predates 1800.




    As you can see this Jail and Stocks are from 1719.
    Good Luck,
    Paul

      While I was taking the photo of the Jail.... fellow GSR member Doug aka Crag Antler drove by and gave a holler.... thought that was cool.

            You hear that, they are calling you out. Get back on the GS and find the biggest fountain you can!

              It actually a Fountain but they were in the process of draining it and maintennance..... no one said it had to be working. You can see the hose in the bottom and the black hose at the top that goes into the nozzle for the bubbleer. It is usually of those fountains that puts over the smooth bubble like flow instead of little rivers like a waterfall. I think you are just scared of the next tag.

                That is too east coast for me. By the 1800s when the midwest was being settled making a contraption like that was too much work. A lot easier to just shoot someone.

                  Same here, no way I can get a building like that.

                    Okay I will amend it to an old Fort also because all forts had brigs.

                      Hamster what about Fort Edmonton they might have stocks there, or just the old Fort its self.

                        I can't get inside to see the stocks etc with the bike. I can get the outside though. The whole place does not qualify, according to wiki it went up in 1795 but was moved due to flooding etc, the original place I don't think exists and/or was at a different site. Now that it has been widened to 'fort' I'll try and head over there sometime this weekend and take a picture of it anyway, since it is the closest thing around here to an old structure of that age. I have a wedding to go to today though.

                          Fort Snelling is up the river from me a few miles. There were plenty of pain and suffering devices up there. Soldiers killing Indians. Maybe Ill take a run but its unbearably hot and humid here today !!!!

                            Wow ! Yes it is hot...but people were out enjoying the day. Had a "spirited" ride to the Fort with a ST11. Kinda the same color as my EZ. Nice Bike !!

                            Fort Snelling


                            and the guy at the Fort. It musta been awful hot in that wool uniform....his beard kept falling off .


                            If youre stuck in the Twin Cities with nothing to do you might as well go to the Fort. Good piece of history (or bad - depends if youre an American Indian or not) and plenty of vista views of the Mississippi river valley.

                                Those are great pics at the fort - poor guy! I wish my bike were up, we have a tank in town, I have no idea what kind but it's big... and painted red white and blue! You'd never spot it in an American flag factory.
