C.O.M.M.I.E.S and the Metro Atlanta Commuter Tag-O-Rama

I am back


Sorry if I left anyone wondering where the hell I ran off to, but my career needed some more TLC and for those of you that remember, I had two gentlemen in 2 years that faceplanted hard and between those things, I sold the KTM 9fiddy, but kept the DRZ and took a bit of time off from riding. Until........ out of no where....

My wife decided she wanted to ride with me and asked for a helmet and gear for Mothers Day, well I knew she just wouldn't be happy riding on the 2x4 seat that is the DRZ, so I took the plunge and bought a beast of a beemer... Time to start breaking the bike in as it has less than 100 miles on it, so... we are going to start a little mommy/daddy time on two wheels.

Today we went out to have a stroll and ended up snagging this..

Caribbean Chicken and Fish is located at 3358 E Ponce De Leon Ave, Scottdale, GA 30079



We had to get back home to rescue the kids from grandma's house

I will place a new tag in the next 24 +/- hours.

to riding again in the excessive suburbia...

Let me know if I need to update post #1 with any rule modifications you folks have made while I was away.

Welcome back. Nice ride too.

Glad you're back! Post up where this was and post a new tag within 24 hours or be "bruced" Your rules my friend!

I know where it is.

edited post with address

next tag coming...

The man that called this home was born August, 26, 1839 and this home is located in the county seat. In 1863 he rose to second in command of the 3rd Georgia Sharpshooters.

He also later served in the Georgia General Assembly. The historical marker for the house is on the street corner.




The house is now a business and I did not want to trespass to get the photo, you too can park in the abandoned gas station across the street to get this vantage point.

Clayton and Pike Streets, Lawrenceville, Ga
Home of Major William Eleazer Simmons

New tag, this one should be easy.
Clue: This ain't "Made in China"



ps: Join the Grand Tour of Georgia and you too can have fun finding these tags.

The Roy Rogers exhibit on Main St. in Buford GA.

Roy Rogers brought Trigger to Buford, GA to utilize the services of Jack Johnson, who was the last living Bona Allen Tannery saddle maker. Mr. Johnson made custom saddles for the Hollywood folks, including the stars from the show
Bonanza.

Little known facts surrounding this famous visit is that while Trigger was being housed at a nearby stable, the Lone Ranger was also in town with Silver. Seeing how sensitive the Hollywood egos can be, apparently a few words and nays were exchanged between Trigger and Silver. Then there was rump bumping and soon, full out hoof-ta-cuffs ensued. The two horses were shortly after seperated and housed in different livery stables. The news was kept under wraps to keep down the paparazzi.

This was a miracle due to the fact that news coverage was right down the street at the Buford Vet. They were covering the birth of Lassie's pups. Concern about Rin Tin Tin being the true father was being questioned.

1) Get yourself downtown Atlanta
2) Find yourself near a STATION in life.(Amtrack or Atlantic will do)
3) Get on the STREET of a religious figure.(Like a priest or BISHOP)

485 Bishop street behind Atlantic Station.....

Was going to get that in the morning, glad I checked this first, it saved a Brucing.

I finally finished all required reading for the group. Post 1 - present. Wow. Too much fun.Finally, I think I understand kinda about getting bruced. I returned from Cincinnati, dropped the parents off, ran home at 200mph, jumped on the bike and made that ride out to Lawrenceville, got pics, returned home happy and full of joy......just to find out Magnum beat me to it.

Bruced?

And to get caught up...dang Fearless, so sorry about the accident and Grady.
Good job Ernbos, you folks are rock and rollers at this game.
Someone likes scotch as much as I do.....yum!
Hate I missed the bar-b-q....but this too shall happen again.

Wooohoooooo. I'm in the right place.

Time is moving on... We are at 23.5 hours since the post of the tag... This is ripe for brucing

Well, I kinda agree with the 24 hr thing, but someone... Not sure who... Seemed to think 48hrs was better. Having said that, i'm on the road, have the new tag, and will post it as soon as I can resize it on my phone.

Ok.... One of you trailblazers circle this tag... And if you get the GPS coordinates, Jot Em Down for me....

Ha! Nice one, Phil. I think collectivly we all decided 48 hours was better.....I still think that's fair. There really is only 6 people who are devoted to this tag game.....if we had more takers I think the 24 hour rule would apply. Sorry I didn't remember when "rubbin" on Inspector packet.

Trailmaster Circle off of Settler's Grove Rd off of Jot Em Down Rd in BFE.

I tried to get the GPS location but Siri told me she don't play that and to buy the app.
