Riding Game

Hey guys. I assumed our American friends do this in their parks as well. If that is not the case, let me know and I'll change the tag.

Perhaps the municipal parks are a different story, but they do exist in the states as well...at least in one of the National Parks.

I have an idea of where I would go, but I'm not getting there today!

There is a really nice restaurant in Yosemite National Park.
Pricing is not too sky high and the atmosphere is great.
It is a long ride from here though.
There might be one close by. I will have to look.

What about city parks ? I don't want to slow the game down. Lots of our former run down beach houses that used to house hot dog stands have been converted to nice restaurants.

When I drove by English Bay yesterday, I hadn't noticed that they converted the bath house into a Cactus Club.

I didn't know that, either.

There is a nice restaurant on the beach at a State Park in Santa Barbara down by the pier.
I am certain that we have several members near there.

Nope its a local shop that only hires female mechanics. Apparently it is very difficult for girls to enter the trade. The owner told me that it makes female customers more comfortable, the girls don't try to tell him how to run his business, and dirty old men like me keep coming back.

That is one hell of a business plan he got there. He just needs to work on the uniforms.

There not allowed to piay in Cali, the tax is too high.

Those tag taxes can be costly.

Just read that article you posted. What a great idea for the Parks Board. They get rid of an eyesore and make a few bucks. They also did it at Kits as well. Cactus Club pays for the building construction, pays rent, and forks over a percentage. Here is a before and after picture.

Closest thing I can think of is Blue Springs State Park, they have an old flour mill that was converted into a make your own pancake house. I'll see if I can pull up some info on it. I haven't been there in years.

Looks like a cool park. Can you get a good view of the manatees ?

Oh yeah, they come there and live there during the winter. The water is 70f year round and they are warm blooded mammals. I'll see if I can get some photos this winter. After a frustrating search with my 3G flip phone, it's DeLeon Springs State Park farther north. Old Spanish Sugar Mill is the pancake house. Like I said, it's been awhile.

Yes...that's the tag. I'm going to get it after work today if nobody has it by 6:00pm Pacific

 

[BigD_83]

I can't believe nobody got this yet:

One Restaurant in a park. Well hidden behind the park-y structures.

seeing as my last one took forever,

The NEW TAG...another threefer; your choice of

Your bike with a photographer in the background, (taking a picture of the full moon)

OR a picture of a local college/university (bonus points if you get the moon in your shot):

OR a golf course (bonus for having an active tournament going on)

Too many errands in the Yukon(family taxi) to do after work yesterday. My wife has finally desided to stop driving, except for emergances, so it all falls to me. With after school sports and other chores, I'll be lucky to get many tags during the week. Not that I wont try. I can get two, maybe all three of these tags, if I get everything done early enough. Central Florida has no shortages of golf courses and colleges. Luck will have to be in play to pull off a hat trick.

 

[BigD_83]

Just an aside...but how come we have very few players outside of Canada and the US?

 

[Spyder]

Good question! We should advertise on other threads...

Well, I got two, but missed the bonus points.
