    I'm at the clue location right now, but can't post a picture because Photobucket is messing me around.

    I went round the block but couldn't find the actual tag. I'll try again.

    Later edit: here is the picture at the clue location:

    Do I get it? I at least deserve something for fighting Photobucket's awful beta site they threw me in to.

    I'm at the new tag location and my battery is flat. Anyone near Schuyler Ave in North Arlington? While I wait for roadside assistance, here's the new tag:

    damn those 650s and their weak batteries. Schuyler ave has some big hills off of it that you could do a rolling start down.

    Great pic, Uxc:clap:clap, and thanks everyone for the offers of assistance earlier. The roadside assistance showed up pretty quickly, but he had no way to hook up his battery pack to the SAE lead I installed for this eventuality, so I had to take the 16 screws off so he could get to the battery. Oh well, I learned some things.

    When I scouted that tag last Spring there was a 9/11 memorial where the Zadroga Soccer Field sign is now by the roadside. The 9/11 memorial has been moved down the hill on the other side of the fence and is behind a locked gate. You can see it here at the bottom of the pic:

    Great photo uxc, as always. :clap I guess you use a compact tripod & Digital SLR with a short lens to take the shot. You could do us all a huge favor and single-handedly help raise the standards of photos around here if you would share with us how you format the shot and upload it to your web host.

    I have a Canon T2i which I guess is more than adequate, I haven't yet worked out a way of moving the jpeg to my phone to upload without bringing along a laptop. Between the hours of 6am-10pm you can get Bruced in minutes around here if you don't upload from the tag site. I notice a lot of your shots are late night ones, so not such a problem.

    After I've sorted out the mechanics, I really would like to experiment with better and more interesting photos.

    One solution might be to use a USB 2.0 A Female to Micro B Male Adapter Cable and connect that to a Android USB cable, to move the photo to my phone, then source a decent photo format App to resize it?

    Yeah, I always post from home.

    And no tripod on that shot, just a very high iso.

    Thanks! Neat tag. If I had more time, I would have looked for the corner where he peed! :D

    My favorite episode, of course, is the Junior Mint one:

    Inspired by a recent Big Apple tag,

    Here's the New Tag:

    [​IMG]

    And, I'll use one of Redpower's old tags as the clue shot:

    p.s., it has gotten very hard to check old tags since certain players have deleted their posts. Thank goodness for the spreadsheet. I was curious to see whether the new tag shows up on Redpower's clue shot from two years ago. Can't find it.

    Thanks, Red. Was pretty sure the BBQ was opened after your tag, but glad to see that the sign wasn't in your tag shot!

    Guess you know where it is, huh?:wink:

    1st checked out the BBQ in Rochester on the way to Canada with a bunch of Hooligans way back when. Guess they also have one in Syracuse and NYC. Would be a great destination for a spring TOR gathering!
