Riding Game

[Burque73]

I'd be more likely to pull a lobster from the Rio Grande than to find a grain silo around here. I did however come acrossed a concrete silo.

New tag is a comic book shop.



This one is in nob hill on route 66, Albuquerque.

 

[Burque73]

I'll try another pic. Having trouble rotating them.

Yay, upright comic book shop!

That went quick. The silo tag reminds me of riding near my cousins place in central Pa. Many old concrete ones as pictured and those dark blue AO Smith Harvestore ones as well. We still have a few in NJ. I passed one this morning on my way to work with an old gray and red Ford Tractor in front if it.

Hoping I can get out for a ride again this week. We have a pretty cool Comic Book Shop about 30 minutes from me... some may know it... Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash...

I thought I'd look for a missile silo since we have a very large stockpile next to Albuquerque but the thought of being shot by an unmanned rotating gun turret was a real bummer. So, it was a toss up between a sawdust or concrete silo.....

Missile silo. Never thought of that. We have some cold war remnants in NJ on display including a Nike missile. An article on it. I have a pic of my GS next to the missile (on dumb photobucket)

Comic book store tag? hmmm, that's a funny tag. :biggrin:

 

[gordinho80]

Comic Book Store... Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank, NJ.

Next tag... haven't seen this one yet, I don't think... a "oddly" painted house... anything kind of out of the norm.

 

[Burque73]

So, did that little guy go in to the comic book shop? Looks like his parents are walking away.

Surely theres some crazy paint jobs around, looking forward to seeing what comes up.
One around the corner from my house had aliens painted on it. Owner did it just to pi$$ off the home owners association. He has since redone the stucco though.

Kind of crappy pic, but there were vehicles, yard debris from Irma and trash blocking the view. I used this tag years ago with my 1000G(pic below). Recycled with Red this time.

Next tag is has multiple possibilities. Old train bridge, your bike under a bridge, power plant, river and a water tower. Take your pick.

 

[Burque73]

That house seems to have held up through the hurricane, short of yard decor and different foliage it looks the same.

 

[Burque73]

Vee under a train bridge on the Sandia Indian Reservation.....

 

[Burque73]

New tag is African scene, animals, art of some sort...

 

[Burque73]

Hoping someone can find a giraffe or something else in this mural.
Would be really cool for a member in Africa to jump in with the real thing.

Come on guys. A giraffe is out there somewhere waiting for you.....

Find one, snap a pic, enjoy the search for a new tag, snap another, then have a coke (or whatever) and post yer pics!

Mini putt golf place has them.

Nobody has seen a pic or statue of a giraffe, elephant, rhinoceros, wildebeest, or umbrella thorn tree as in this mural?

I should be able to get this one but not until tomorrow.

Should be worth the wait, but I think Roger has the itch to ride that Vee now.
