    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

A gallon of milk IS 100kms+, lol.
I can get half gallons and smaller locally though, lol.

Once the fields have grain crops in them I might be able to get some circles!
I'm far enough north that as far as crops go, it's still spring time.
the sun goes down at 10:30pm and comes back up at 4:30am, haha.

This is my ride to get to any kind of fast food, box store, major services etc.,

There is other cities I could go to, but they are further away!

So.... it's raining, and I HATE riding my bike in the rain, for 2 reason, no back fender and no rain gear. So, does anyone have a problem with using the tag I never got to use of the old courthouse? Was planning on the same picture anyway, just with the updated paint, and that picture is only a month old or so. If not, it probably won't be until tomorrow when I can get a new picture.
 
You really need a new ride and pic to get the tag, otherwise we could all sit on file photos when conditions aren't right. It's what motivates us to get out....and I'm really not the "powers that be" but just pretend I am. ;)

Uh oh! I agree, needs to be a same day, near the same time photo. Tags still open.
 
I got severely chastised for doing it and started a 2 page argument/debate/all out war. Haha!
 
Your panoramic view of a city, town and so on. I had a pan. view, but sadly no civilization. I deleated the new tag I posted, since it wasn't my turn to post. So somebody needs to get the tag. Nothing has changed here. No over looking hills in O-town.
 
lol, maybe if i could climb up on one of the 4 or 5 grain elevators.
Since this is the prairies there isn't many places to get elevation to get a good picture.
BUT there is actually a hill in Paradise Hill I can use I suppose.
Although its a steep gravel road, I'll give it a try!
I'll be back in about an hour or so.

Ok, here we go.
Now, I don't live IN the town, more like a couple Kms outside of town, so this picture is of our way into town.

This is the steep dirt road I was thinking of to take a picture from, as you can see it wasn't a good spot for a pan shot.

While in town I stopped by to see my lottery winning buddy, he had his car out (that I mentioned earlier in this thread) so I finally got a photo op with it, even if it is much to late to use it as a tag.
Almost hard to believe that a multimillionaire lives in that tiny little house!

While talking to him he said he just hit a deer with it yesterday!!!
Lucky he was going fast enough that it was just a glancing blow, lol.
Estimate for repairs are around $10,000!

And FINALLY, the best panoramic shot I could get of this little town.
There is a couple roads that go left from this picture, and one to the right after the church, but only thing on that road is the tavern, and an Esso cardlock. That church by the way has painted by a local resident some years ago named Count Berthold Von Imhoff, an artist who's paintings hang in the Vatican and royal castles and historical churches all over the world.

And for the next tag, lets go with Native Dwellings!

Good Luck!

My wife is a native Floridian, can I take a picture of my house?;) She is part Blackfoot, but I don't know what part that is. Foot?:rolleyes: I'm already in the doghouse so don't even try.:eek:
 
I too am originally from Florida. Lakeland/Bartow area.
Moved to Canada just before my teen years as my mother was moving back home, and I went with her.
I'll be in Lakeland in August, but not with a bike to ride.

You just be careful rick! Not too many things more dangerous than an angry squaw!

Sorry guys, I'll try better next time :( I got on my phone when I took the pic and saw it was claimed already, so I finished cruising around and never took another.
