Mass Tag-O-Rama

Saugus :huh

Saug-them

Saug-you

You said it

Seems like I am not alone on that one.

How many more beautiful fall days is it going to take to get this tag out of Saugus??!

The fact that there are only so many beautiful Fall days left is a good reason NOT to go to Saugus.

YUP...been there...done that.....

I think it would take a man of 'iron' to find this one...

POW!

I'm takin' one for the team here. Let me put Saugus Ironworks to bed. This is around the corner from the main entrance, only about one mile off Route 1 and easy to get to. When the politicians get back to actually governing the country instead of having a mass temper tantrum, I highly recommend a visit, absolutely fascinating place.


Now if someone promptly complains that I haven't placed a new tag: FYYFF.

With a name like Garandman you should put it at the Springfield Armory.

Oh nevermind, it's shut down also. Definitely worth seeing when it re-opens though.

It's been 10 minutes. Where is the new tag? Don't you have a smart phone? I hope you aren't moving it too far away.

:fyyff

I had a friend in Germany who told me meeting Americans was the greatest thing that ever happened to him: because we taught him how to be flexible.

But I was trolling you because...

New Tag. No particular strategy here: I left SIW and headed for an area where I thought I could find some pleasant roads to ride on.

The farm sign has been edited: it has the street address and town on it. With GIS that's a pretty easy challenge to overcome.

Bigger.

They farm anvils there? I thought they MADE anvils at the PREVIOUS tag.

I know you were... and I bit because it was amusing. I was jealous that you got out for a ride this afternoon while I was stuck at work. I hope you had a nice ride. Maybe I'll see you at the YB meeting Sunday?

Ironic, isn't it?

Heh. I didn't check the thread before heading home, so I made the 5 minute detour to grab the Saugus tag. The combination of darkness, streetlights, chain link, and camera phone made it difficult to get a usable shot. This was the best of them:

That's my 'hood'. I grew up on Valley Rd., a few miles east, in the 50s-60s. This place was Chadwick's farm back then, a real New England farm. And didn't have the "Tara" colonnade in front. (Just to the left of this picture.) Mrs. Chadwick was one of my primary school teachers, and I was a year or so behind one of her sons. There's a down ramp at the ell of the barn. I remember flopping down in the snow there as a little kid and making a snow angel.

It was 'very' rural then, about 900 population. Everyone knew everyone.

Now its a high-end bedroom community.

(Might try tomorrow AM, would be great to tag this one)

I'll never tell.

I took the day off to go on a PGR mission but it was changed to Sat.

A little too ironic, yeah I really do think.
