Nice tag there PwrCrzr. I was really tempted to go get it. It's a 2:15 ride for me though, and it's 12:58 am right now. And, Moody's is closed this time of day.

:( Bruced again. At least I got the flannel shirt I wanted from L.L. Bean. So, the trip wasn't a total waste.

Nice grab. Eagerly awaiting next drop. This is becoming a freakin quest for me.

I'm glad you didn't! It would've sucked to go that far to get Bruced!

So where was it? Any other details?

Someday hopefully the map will get updated and this is currently just a building with a big globe.

Iy's funny, I have drive by this place dozens of times, and never went in, until now. It's pretty cool. This is why Tag-O-Rama is cool. I go to places and see things I normally don't make time to see.

I had a hard time deciding where to bring Egg. First, I thought I'd head to Lubec, and show him the easternmost point in the US. Sadly, I had to work today, so there wasn't time. Then, I thought I'd bring him up to Baxter State Park, but as I learned last night Baxter is closed to motorcycles. I briefly considered continuing on up to Madawaska, but that pesky work thing got in the way so instead we turned home, stopping along the way for a nice dinner with friends.

Still, after that long wet ride, Egg and I were both feeling the chill, so I made us a couple mugs of grog to warm up with.

After warming up, we cracked open a couple beers and had a look at the swag Egg has collected in his travels.

As we emptied the beers, he convinced me to make a swap...

... then got down on the floor to play with the cat for a bit, while I had another drink.

Feeling no pain, we decided to get tattoos to commemorate our tour together

then sacked out for the night. Morning came too early, but Egg was a sport and came with me to work.

A few major systems had broken down overnight, so Egg pitched in to help out, first manning a computer...

... then dealing with a long vendor support call for me.

After all of that, he was feeling a bit run down, so I got him a bottle of wake-up juice and the rest of the day just flew by.

At dinner last night, Egg told me about his interest in American History, so after work we took a ride out to Minute Man National Historical Park. Sadly, the visitor center was shut by the time we got there.

It was a bit dark and wet, but we were still able to visit the Paul Revere Capture Site...

... before heading on to the new tag:

Detail:

Egg is hiding in the wall to the left side of the marker:

Third time's the charm, AndyCap.

Go get'em Bruce

AndyCap · 11-17-2010, 03:56 AM

Hey Bruce

It appears the fates had something nobler that just a simple Tag planned for me. I wasn't meant to just putt over to Portsmouth on a beautiful day and pick up the Tag. Nor was I meant to race up to Yarmouth and scoop up the object of my quest there.

No, I was meant to forge my way to Concord, fighting the rain, wind, and fog. Riding bleary eyed to rescue our beloved egg from the cold rainy November night.

I got home at 1 am from work and just thought to take a peak at the forums to see where in Northern Maine our little bundle ended up, and to my amazement, it was only 1 hours South of me. Surely this cannot be!? I looked out the window at the rain pouring down, and wind bending the trees. "I will go out first thing"

I went to bed - tossed and turned, then at 3:00 am sprang out of bed, got suited up, and road through the night just as Paul Revere did so many years ago. I realized that this was my purpose - to rescue the prescious from the nasty weather. To take this little wonder home to my dry warm house.

So, alas - here it is!!!!

And now, some much needed sleep.
