    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...

    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.

Riding Game

Closest Church that old for me is 4.5 hours out in Sleepy Hollow NY. The old Dutch Church is 331 years old... 9 hours round for a tag on my schedule won't happen.

IN Vermont the Congo in Bennington is 255 years old. That's 2 hours out but is the oldest standing Congo church in the US.

Middlebury's Congo (which is apart of Middlebury's Iconic down town scene) is 220 years old...

300 years old is a toughie, since Vermont was basically disputed woodland territory of Canada, NY and NH in that time frame.
 
The only thing 300 years old out here are trees. Nothing wrong with the tag though. Good chance for our European members to join the game...............
 
I did a quick search - old St Marys Church - built in 1703. Its not terribly far, but too far to get on an evening ride with the ongoing house project. If its still hanging around by the weekend I may try.

Glad to see the game has livened up.
 
Somebody will have to find a church older than dirt. Fortunately around here they actually made them out of dirt!
 
Anyone know how to find the oldest churches? Been googling, can't find anything although there are likely some old Spanish churches in Colorado that predate the Texas era.

Edit, no can do it. Oldest church in this state was built in 1858. Don't have time to ride to Utah this week.

There are very few churches that old in the states and having a Riding Game player near one may be a lot fewer, it may be better if a really old church was the tag and not so age specific. Nothing against our overseas players, but in the last 5 years I've been playing, there have only been a few from Australia and I don't know of any Europeans that play the game.
 
We have this a couple hours away, but the original is long gone. 1790s is the best i can do, but not till at least Sunday.

The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine is a historic cathedral in St. Augustine, Florida, and the seat of the Catholic Bishop of St. Augustine. It is located at Cathedral Street between Charlotte and St. George Streets. Constructed over five years (1793?1797),[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] it was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark on April 15, 1970. Originally established in 1565 and re-built in the 18th century, it is the oldest church in Florida.

I just saw raygun in Las cruces as he took delivery of the monster kz 1300. I know there's a church in el paso that dates back to 1680. Let's bend his ear to keep the game going. I'm about halfway back to Albuquerque now.

Bummer! Did you get any pics? Sounds like really old church, rather than any specific age is in order.
 
I used my childhood church as a tag last year (?), but as a general historical building / place tag.
Built in 1751, a field hospital during the Revolutionary War, and still in use now.
 
Wow, only a couple of days since I last visited the thread and things have gotten pretty busy. Well done. I had been trying to track down a movie location around here - but looks like that's been well and truly surpassed now :cool:

Since its only a bit over 200yrs since missionaries first paid NZ a visit I'll be sitting this one out waiting for someone north of here to nab. I visited the oldest church building in NZ a couple of years ago, in a little place about 3hrs north of here. I believe it was build about 1835.
