    I went to a couple of wedding venues and this is apparently the time to get hitched. I witnessed three weddings in progress. The first was a really young couple. I stopped the bike on the other side of the fence but didn't dismount. As I looked around I was surrounded by the wedding attendees and, well, it was super awkward so down the road I went, QUICKLY! So, on to the next popular spot, old town plaza. There's a great gazebo in the middle of the plaza. Here's a pic of the bride and groom, among many others others, in the gazebo. Took a quick pic as not to distract from their event.



    Now the next tag. A cell tower. This one is cleverly disguised to fit in with the neighborhood pine trees. It doesn't really though, does it? Notice how all the other trees keep their distance? Anyway, if you can find one wearing a Halloween costume, sweet, but not necessary.

    I know of a high end neighborhood that has a cell tower made to blend in with the natural surroundings. It may be hidden too well to get a good shot of, but if I can get there before dark tomorrow, I'll try to get it. Just not sure I'll have time to grab a next tag. It may be a two day tag.

      Looks like Steve found the cell tower. What's the Halloween decoration scene like around your place?

        Here is a close-up. It's a little hard to see from this angle, but there are three jet silhouettes at the top of the swirly thing going up the post.





        For the icing on the cake, Mrs. Steve and I just got back from getting that tag right at sunset, so here is a sunset pic to boot:

        Nice!
        We stopped in to see the Air And Space Museum (proper name?) there 33 years ago when I was 10. Amazing stuff! I've always wanted to go back again. Nice sunset pic too!

          The "Air and Space Museum" is part of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC.

          What we have here is the National Museum of the US Air Force.

          Come on back, it's changed a little bit since you were here. We moved here about 34 years ago, the museum has more than doubled in size since then. Some of the displays that were outside or in another area (accessed only by a tram) are now in the same complex.

          Admission is still free, making it one of the best attractions in the Dayton area.

            Easy? I've yet to see any decorations whatsoever least of all Halloween. But that might have something to do with the difference on our location
            But I'll keep on the lookout. happy hunting!

              I took the description of the tag from Burque to read....a cell tower. You will get bonus points if it is decorated.

                true, but a few post later Steve got the cell tower points so they're gone for ever!

                  There's not much in the way of Halloween decor around here yet. I've seen a few inflatable pumpkins and such. Will head out later to try and find something interesting unless someone grabs it first.

                    I can easily get a cell tower. If it up on Saturday, I will go get one.

                    Edit: And if the weather does what they say it will... Supposed to be nice but cool...

                      Hey, looky here. A yard all dressed up and ready for trick or treaters. These inflatable things crack me up. Seems they get more elaborate every year.



                      How about for the next one a barber shop with a twisty pole out front. Seems everyone's gearing up for the upcoming festivities now, with the painted windows and all.

                        Here we go then, a barbers pole, as requested



                        and your next challenge is a cable car...



                        Had a great day out finding these, love this game.

                          Fantastic tag. Albuquerque has a cable car that climbs 5000 feet above the city. We'll see how soon I can get up there though
                          Maybe one of the other GSR members in this city could go grab it wink wink nudge nudge

                            Just for incentive, you can probably also think "ski lift", if you have any in your area.

                              Nice tag Cyrano. I might go after that if it ever stops raining.
