Philly Tag O Rama

Thanks.

Grab. Rear of Art Museum.

New tag.
Gate locked so closest I could get.

Pretty sure that the tag was the statue of Chief Justice John Marshall, so the Art Museum itself is still untagged.

I meant the Chief Justice John Marshall statue at the rear of the Art Museum.

Actually, looking at the first photo of your tag, I realize my mistake. If the grab's no good, I'll let someone else get it and post a new drop. I'm grounded this weekend.

Not my tag. I was just stirring the shit. You got the statue in your grab shot. That's the important part.

From page 1 of this thread, I always thought this was the most important part:

If that is the best you can do to reproduce the photo, I guess it will have to do.

I can do better.

Let's try this again.

That's more trips to the Art Museum in the last 2 days for me than all of last year.

Drop remains the same.

Does that "Drop" photo consider to be a file photo, since it was taken before the "grab" photo?

Should have just went along with your first attempt.

I didn't want to change the drop in case someone was planning on getting it this morning.

4. One tag at a time. File photos are NOT permitted. You gotta ride to play this game.

I interpreted this rule as meaning you had to actually visit the site and take the photo yourself and couldn't use a photo from the internet, for instance. Since riding was involved, I'll leave the drop as it is, especially since it's less than 24 hours old.

I always tag more than one place on may way home from a grab and wondered if those photos were good to use at a later date, assuming months had not passed. I revisited my last drop of the Macoby Run clubhouse, but wondered if that was necessary. Do others do this or does the drop have to be after the grab?

No worries, it's a fine drop.

Games are supposed to be fun, but sometimes people seem to forget.

What rule #4 means is that you can't use stockpiled shots for the drop. That doesn't mean you can't take the drop shot before the grab shot. Done it many times, though usually on the same ride. I think your drop is good.

I interpret that rule more for the grab so if you had a picture of the Marshall statue from 2 years ago you can't just upload as a grab without leaving your couch. Jersey gets around it with hang a captains hat from your brake reservoir in the grab shot. Hoping this game doesn't go that route. FWIW, I am perfectly fine with this grab/drop.

It was more fun riding in early this morning when it was cool than yesterday afternoon in the heat.

New tag



Bike has not moved.

Nice to see you're back, John. Did the arm heal up OK?

Agree, so much for keeping it out of the city!!

Thanks for asking. The wrist has healed ok. Still some tenderness on the outside of the wrist where the tendon was damaged. That will go away in time. The fracture is completely healed.

I got out yesterday on two wheels (with and without engine) for the first time since the incident. Motorcycle is ok. Bicycle is ok so long as the road is smooth. Any bumps and the wrist hurts a bit.

My tags will almost always be in the city. Are we trying to keep the tags out of the city at the moment?

Last weekend I attended a party under the adjacent similar structure as part of the Hidden City Philadelphia Festival. Pretty cool.
