Anyone up for AZ Photo Tag....

[yotes65]

Greetings All,

Would anyone be interested in Arizona Photo Tag? I got the idea from reading Bluepoof's thread titled "Any interest in a Bay Area photo tag?" located at http://www.sport-touring.net/forums/index.php/topic,2322.0.html.

Basically someone would post the first photo of an Landmark in AZ. For instance, a building, dam, art, nation park sign... something that we could go out looking for via our bikes. The first to find the location & post a photo of the tagged location with their bike in the picture will post the next location others to find. It would be a great way for all of us to ride roads that we may never have given a second thought to.

We could set the boundary to a 3 hour ride from the State Capital... or say a max of 150/175 miles one way from the Capital. Some locations could be as close as South Mountain or as far as Flagstaff.

What do ya'll think? Anyone Game?

OK Gang, I've uploaded all of the past Post & Tagged images to Photobucket. You can check out all of the Photo's in the following SlideShow.

I will update the SlideShow as new locations are added... I'm having issues with it keeping the Description's that I've been trying to add...

It's been a Pleasure reviewing the past locations. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have...

Let's Keep it Going!

Do you have a larger pix... maybe if you & I post a few locations to find, others may join in...

Beginnings...

Hint, #4 is more like 200 miles from the Capitol, but lots of Phoenix riders have been there.

Was there on New Year's Day!

I can tag #4 this Saturday.
#3 looks just like any other Rest Stop in AZ...
If #2 is where I think it is, it is currently closed. I went past it last Friday after leaving Flagstaff... could be wrong.

game on...

#2 looks very familiar. If it's what I think it is, it's 130 miles from the state capitol building.

Nice going DangerMoney...

Where is it & how do we get there? Are you going to post the next location to Tag?

[GilaMonster]

You got it, Danger Money, and nice zebras!  I had an '03 zebra until it got crushed from behind by a cage.  For those of you that are curious, here's the locations:

1. Kitt Peak
2. Salt River Canyon (Hwy 60 about 1/2 way from Globe and Show Low)
3. Visitors center at Saguaro Park outside Tucson
4. If you are not familiar with the OK Corral, you must live in a cave.

OK Danger Money, what's next?

[DangerMoney]

These two pictures were taken in the same parking lot. Finding this place is relatively easy since it's huge. Duplicating either of these shots is the challenge before you.

[GilaMonster]

Bill,

I know that place.  Maybe I'll ride there tomorrow.  Do you want a picture of the K1200S or the MTS?

[DangerMoney]

Craig,
I embrace diversity but since you asked, K1200S

Does this look familiar?  How about Ray Mine Outlook which is about 10 miles south of Superior on 177?

[GilaMonster]

Next Tag.  I'll try to make this one easy.

Oh man... how do I get a job where I can take off to tag these during the week....

I know exactly where the location is that GilaMonster posted... approx 1 hour from where I'm currently at... now if only I can sneak out the back door for a few hours...  

[Playinthestreet]

Here's an easy one...

Well done Craig.

Ummmm, you got to give up that thing called w*o*r*k.  It's over-rated.  Ok, I guess it one of the benefits of those who are old enough to have increasing *blonde* growing in their hair.

Next Tag.  I'll try to make this one easy.

Yippee... I went somewhere today that I've never been to...

Look at the background for a clue to the location... if more clues are needed, let me know. Happy Hunting!

Question: How do you post the smaller thumbnail and then it expands when one clicks on it? How about linking either a graphic or text? I though that I knew.... but nope.

[DangerMoney]

Yotes,
Thanks for the clue... now I know where it is. Of course, since Craig doesn't have a job, he'll probably snag it tomorrow.
