Northwestern VA Tag!

bwalsh · 04-13-2010, 08:05 AM

Northwestern Virginia tag...for those of us in the northwestern part of Virginia who don't want to ride forever to grab a tag. Let the game come to you!

This is roughly modeled after the highly acclaimed Valley Dual Sport Tag game found here...

http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=405166

Here are some rules:

1. Tag boundary: It has changed some over the course of the game, now incorporating some of West by god Virginia!
Take a look at the map.

Tag map: NWVA TAG MAP

~ The tag can be on any type of road and road surface...or even trails...(ie: Highways, Byways, Forest service trails, Legal trails) No interstates or "fee" areas. You can even incorporate a little hiking into it too! A prominent geologic feature or a trail intersection would be a good choice, waterfalls, etc. There are tons of possibilities! If the tag is placed on a rough gravel or dirt road, mention it so someone on a street bike will have a heads up.
~ Tags can be placed close to other tags, but not for the very next tag. It's got to move! If it is a previous tag, don't log in and post that it is. Keep em guessing!

2. Tag placement:
~ Have a cool spot in mind? Place it there. Don't have a clue as to where to place it? Look on the map for ideas.

3. Tag Photos
~ No file photos! You have to ride to play!
~ Your bike must be in at least one of the photographs.
~ Indicate the location of the mascot in at least one photograph.

4. Game play
~ If you are new to tagging, sit back and watch how it's played...It's pretty easy, then jump right in!
~ If someone PM's you for more clues and you decide to give them more they should also be posted in the thread to keep the game fair.
~ Chatter about the game, and other semi related topics is encouraged. I think it adds to the comradery of the game!

Good luck! Now let the game begin!

I've been working hard at learning the secret to making money tagging.

Just send me a blank check...

I'll tell ya how!

I stopped and talked with the lady who works at my bank who rides.
She and her husband ride. I told her to check out the game. It would be great to have more local players.

I'm back from out West. Had a great time skiing and breathing the thin air at high altitude, kinda wishing I had the bike and it wasn't so snowy. Wait, I went to ski, had an epic time and still missed the bike. Can't have it both ways.
Pictures for your Christmas viewing.....

The Wife and I......

And I just had to get HIGH...... ( notice the sandals? )....

Hope the weather turns just it LITTLE so I can get the bike out of the shed and through the yard.....
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!

Utah's beautiful scenery almost makes up for the weird liquor law!! :} I went to Snowbird 20 years ago and still remember skiing toward the steep mountains in front of you....

bwalsh · 12-24-2010, 07:10 AM

Nice pic OMR!

Glad you and Jackie had a good time.

I was beginning to think you two fell off the face of the earth. In a way I guess you did...hundreds of times.

Beautiful day like today and nobody is making the move!?!
It must need to be raining for the duck to move.
