    Since we're playing on the flat side of 95 let's punt it deep into sand flea territory. Bring your salt water rod and sea turtle club. I apologize for the crappy angle but I was minutes away from both ferries that I needed to get me back to mainland without backtracking. I'll call the tag the water tower from the angle of your choosing as long as the town name is visible. You can cop out and drop $20 round trip to take the easy way or earn yourself a rt 12 south sticker.

    Tag!

    Anyone want to go on a ride-n-eat for charity? Check out the Eastern ADV dinner thread. I would love to have a good turnout.

    When the hell did you get back from Kentucky?! If I knew that I would have stopped by for a beer and a fish taco or whatever you coastal people do.

    Hey bro been back for a while..... been keeping a low profile. Was nomadic foe a while and am really just getting settled. I don't post much because I dond get to ride much and don't want to be a poser that talks about riding and doesn't actually ride..... may have to keep an eye on this tag though.... I can't believe it was in my backyard... I mean I can almost see that place up the creek...

    Oh well just know if there are any ADV types in my area and y'all need anything just let me know....

    Tag - Go get it...

    [URL="[​IMG]"

    I just couldn't pass up this photo op, and decided to keep the Eastern tag in a nautical theme.

    After a 14 hour day yesterday, I got a tour of Eastern NC, a lot of boat rides and a salt covered scooter. :freaky

    Good hunting.

    It is two hours, each way. Tags can only be judged by the time it takes to get there, not the round trip. The race is over once you've grabbed the tag. :lol3

    Actually, it's closer to 4 hours each way out a basically arrow straight road.

    Maybe I'm getting my ferries mixed up. Despite the Manns Harbor moniker, the MV Russell used to be the ferry on the 306 between Aurora and Bayview. Manns Harbor is actually the NCDOT shipyard.

    Could this be a trick tag?

    Manns harbor threw me. It's a couple hrs from
    Raleigh to that ferry. I should have recognised it
    My stator died on that boat last year. Had to jump start
    My bike to get off the ferry.

    I just thought maybe you rode like the reason I got rid of the 954. :rofl

    hehe, google directions crack me up, " 14. Take the Bayview-Aurora Ferry
    Destination will be on the right"

    I put the pointer in the middle of the water.
    hehehe

    Now you guys have got it. :thumbup: You might find some boats at Mann's Harbour, but not this one.

    If you can't get the same picture (might take some diplomacy), just grab your bike and the boat.
