North American Tag-O-Rama!

Can you say BRUCE!?

I saw a GS go by in the other direction @645. Was it Lance? Was it you? Speak up Marine, I can't hear you.

Or did I Really get Bruced?

Bruce?

Negative, not I! Kind of unfair for Dorito to place and I pick up.

It was I. I guess you could say that you were not Bruced but Lanced. I just got back from the new drop spot. Posting pics in 30 minutes. I was hoping the bike I passed on 257 was just another motivated cold weather rider.

Sure. Wait till I get home. Maybe I'll put off the Sunday chores. Waiting for your post.
Had a great ride none the less thanks to Gerbings.

So like most of my Rides... I always have a little drama and this day was no different. I was planning to roll out of bed around 9ish. Take my lady friend to the airport and then grab the tag. But after a little prodding from my fellow SMIBers... I was out the door at 5AM. A little chilly.



The back story here is that I actually thought St. Francis Church was up past LaPlata. When I dropped in the Lat_Long... I was pleasantly surprised at how close she was to my place.



As usual... my inner biker clock woke me at 430AM. I was going to try to sneak out for a quick grab but a non biker wanted to come along... for the 6 mile adventure.



We arrived to the SPOT - 7 minutes later. Dana... Samantha thanks you for the location. She was so cold... Curse of living in San Diego.





I wanted a shot for the motorcycle ADV tag cabinet... No I am not sleeping... "Sam how did the photo come out?"Her response, "pppppperrrffeeectttt." Thank God she isn't a professional Photographer... she would starve. Maybe I can draw in some eyes



I ended up dropping her off so she could get her body temp back up above hypothermia temps. Like a good SMIBer... I headed off to drop off the TAG.

Because I Grabbed Ms. Egg at 0DARK30... I thought to get re acquainted with the hitchhiking little dirty girl. I stopped off at my other favorite Breakfast Spot.





She was not happy being left out in the cold all night so I didn't even bother taking her out of her comfort zone. EOD, awesome job on the packaging. I remember when we looked at your grab. Definitely a better setup right down to the Laminated "please don't mess with our game" card. Thank you Senior Chief.



Time to eat and wait for the big heat tab in the sky to get lit.



Once the Sun was high enough to brighten the Lord's Day, I thought what better place to post Ms. Egg then one of my favorite spot to pray for more great rides without being T-boned by a cager. Maybe she would benefit from a beautiful view at this very spiritual place.



For you heathens out there, places like this tend to be the oldest historical sites around even though they experienced the Revolutionary war, War of 1812, and the Civil War. Do you want to be the Guy to burn down a church? That is like taking the Hell express. As soon as you get in line, the head demon would be like "are you the guy who burned down that church?"... "great, please go to the front of the line please."







So follow the pictures to her new home.







Once I took the picture, I slid her about 8 inches under the Gazebo.



Make sure this is a day tag so you get the most out of the view, the historical atmosphere, and say a little prayer for all the ADV riders out there making the world a better place by riding on two wheels.

Grab:




Chapel point rd. is one of my favorite roads in Charles County. I'm
Working on the next spot. Heading up to Albany, NY tomorrow.

Another slow moving tag day in the Southern Maryland area....

Funny, if I had grabbed the Colonial Beach tag I'd have put it at Chapel Point Probably my favorite place in MD. I wonder if I'll have time to snag the next one...

Are you going to New York as well?

Apparently I'm not the sharpest crayon in the drawer I thought you were gonna do the SMIB thing and keep it in the family for a little longer before you headed up to NY...have a good trip!

I was actually just chumming. (None of the sharks were biting)

I'm not going north, a good SMIB will always keep it in the family.

Nice!

Oh, be quite certain they are circling SMIBville. The PMs requesting information on the locations other SMIBville inmates is interesting...

J4S..........I got my boots on

New tag at the southern end of the last county to be represented in this round of the NA "SMIB" tagorama. You are actually able to tour the lighthouse in the picture daily from 10-5.


To the left of the stage is a parking are with some bushes.


Her is my son saying goodbye to the egg. (The Drop)


A better view of the parking area.

Be warned that this entire area is gated. However, the person collecting admission didn't seem to think that they close the gates.

My son said he laid the egg between the third and fourth bush.

Nice! Too far for me to get to it before I have to pick my buddy up though...maybe next time.
