MI phototag- game on!

[Loki]

Unfortunately I am out of it for the day...work called, weather is iffy, blah blah blah..

A bunch of excuses but no real reasons. I am unable to make the run today.

Sorry bout this. Just too much to do with other stuff.

Let me know how the trip went if anybody is going.

Hey Pollux if you go after the mall, let me know and I will tag along for the ride.

That was a tough one! To try and find it, I could see that there was a Pro Hardware sign on the store behind the statue, so I made a  call there corporate office, asked for the district manger for Michigan and asked him if he knew of the statue? which he did not but he was kind enough to call someone in the organization that would know and gave me a call back with the statues location.

With out having personal knowledge of that statue I probable wasted a good hour at work hunting it down

  Funny two track- same deal here.  I figured out the Pro hardware sign too- I tsrated calling them and got lucky on the 3rd or 4th- the regional Pro Hdre sales guy was there, the manager put him on the phone, and he knew where it was.
    I'd rather be lucky than good any day of the week!  Pollux- *great* tag- that was tough!
    I was gonna get Powamo today, but after bow-hunting this morning, it was time for storm windows. Sometimes ya gotta work on the honey-do list!
   BTW- I did 120 miles Thursday morning from GR- South Bend.  Started out at 34° and ended at 38°.  I was running late and couldn't stop, or I would have about 30 miles from SB.  I was getting chilly!  Thank goodness for the A/O cooled engine on the B12- it made a great handwarmer.  On the way home yesterday it was 45° and rain, but the raingear actually kept me plenty warm and dry, so it was no problem.  Nice run!

Just going for a quickie today. Bout 40 miles +- out.  Not supposed to rain till this later this afternoon.

BUT - I need something to hook it on. PLEEZEEE

[FBRR]

Four more days.....Then game on.
 It looks like it will be warming up next week.( my first week of retirement )
I ride until it snows and they salt the roads.
Early next year ( it's late for this year ) we should do a MEET at a selected "tag" sight on a weekend so we could all meet. Group tag?

[CLAY]

That would be awesome.  It would be sweet to meet everyone.  I'll get that tag this week if someone else doesn't get it first.  I have a good one in mind.
  I also ride till the ice and salt- love it!

[Loki]

You can count me in for a meet in the spring. But for now, I have to change the rear tire and put the "Bird" away for a bit.  

Already getting anxious for the warmer days......  So for now its  

[wibornz]

I ride year round.  So I am hoping that I post the last tag of the year or someone will have to ride in the cold with me.

[pops66]

 
Used to say "are we there yet"?  Now it kinda goes - haven't we left yet?

The Red Ones have posted this Sat coming, a 2:30 at Joes Gizzard City for a cheeseburger.

Sounds good to me  

See ya there!!!!!

[pops66]

Forgot to say the Red Ones post was under - If Hell wasn't good enough for you.
Sorry

Pops- awesome tag.  What a great ride out and back- frankly I'm shocked I was the first guy to get it!  Great spot.  The next will come later tonight...

[pops66]

 
Alright Clay! Great tag and you are right about the area. Looking forward for the next tag. POSSSIBLY IT WILL BE ON THE WAY HOME FROM GIZZARD CITY

What a great day lining up for tomorrow. A ride , a cheese burger, meet old and new friends, a ride , a tag, a ride , what more can there be?
 

see ya there  

[CLAY]

The next one- it's not on the way to lunch, but it should be a nice ride.  It's just off the same road as the Pewamo Mall- just at one end of it...

[wibornz]

So it looks like Clay is sending us to Holland.  At least thats what I'm thinking.

[CLAY]

Cha ching.  So, is there a place in the state you *don't* recognize?  Wow!  We have a few days of great riding weather coming up...

[pops66]

 
GAME ON!!!

 

[wibornz]

OOyea found it Clay....Hehehehe this was easy.  When to go to Holland on Saturday and got to late of a start so this is the best that I could do on Saturday.  You can see that I was in a rush.



Enjoy I will be posting my tag soon.

[wibornz]

Well set on to get the windmill on Sunday with Pops66.  We got to Middleville and it started to rain on us, but he we are motorcyclist, no a motorcycle rider.  So we pressed on in the rain.  So much for the hour I spent detailing the bike on Saturday for the group lunch at Joe's Gizzard City.

So me and Pops66 both know right were this is as we have had to take the wife's shopping in Holland before.  So through the rain and wind, not bad though  we did not get to wet.  

The tags are from aways away as the gate was closed.  Go figure it's Sunday.

Only thing is we got a little cold...Is there a decent coffee shop in Holland or Zealand...NO.  We pulled off in Hudsonville to get coffee and warm up a little.

Then it was off to me and Pops66 group tag.

We did pass the Hooker Cemetery so we had to stop and re-tag hehhe.



So off for about an hour and a half ride to find an out of the way spot.

So here is the next tag.



from a different angle



a couple hints

There is a dog house chapel


A couple small log cabins at the location


A covered bridge over a stream


and a Mill





Enjoy....let me know if you need a hint.

[pops66]

  Ya Buddy.  

We talked too long at Joe's Saturday to make the run to Holland. So we started early Sun under cloudy skies.   It was dry so OK. Got about half way there and it started to rain.   Time to check out my new riding coat for waterproofing. Good news it is dry.   About a half hour and the sun came out. A beautiful day for a ride. We put on a little over 200 miles and actually found a couple of "new" tag possibilities.

Don't know if team tagging is kosher, but, riding with a friend is really great.

By the way - 100 + miles to find a gate to the park. CLOSED  with locks. Thought about riding down the joggers lane, but don't need the trouble that far from home. Oh well, ya gotta love it

Thats it - Wibornz posted the pictures, I am back in the cave waiting for the next posting.

See ya there  

[Mr.Awesome]

The second pic is a bonus pic.  It can be counted as the tag, but it will be a good ride to it to tag it with the weather getting colder.




So enjoy and go get them.  I have at least two more pics that I want to post as a tag this year.

Matkal and myself had a great ride today and tagged the bonus pick. A bit on the chilly side but nice and sunny. Tried out the new gerbings pant liners. Worked great! Thanks for the great route out Matt. Had fun, have to do it again soon before it gets too cold.
