    I won't be able to post a new tag until Sunday as I have to work tomorrow. So, if Jasko3 doesn't post one before then I'll see you all on Sunday.

    Maybe there are just so many good places to ride up here in the corner we just have no real incentive to head towards Chattanooga.:evil

    Sometime or another I will make the ride out for a tag, maybe....

    I'd be all over that if I didn't have company in this weekend. It's about 1 minute from where I went to high school. I'll be swinging through there next week on my way to bonnaroo, but I'm sure someone will get it by then.

    It's a beautiful day to go riding. If any one else is out we may be racing to post the tag.........It's also a great day to go exploring some backroads for the next tag

    From Oliver Springs there are alot of interesting places to go

    like this on Walden Ridge Road

    I'm new to this game and as I read through this thread I saw all these places I've seen and some I could find again. Sounds like fun I thought. This THIS tag. Hm. Well Google is your friend right? I searched and searched and couldn't come up with a location for 14. Since I did find 3 and 5a on the net I thought I'd make a pass by them and see if I could get a clue.

    Perfect day for riding yesterday and I saw a few folks out looking like ADV riders so I worried that someone would have found it before I could get there. With that in mind I think I limited myself some. I didn't find it. I did get out and ride though and 150 miles later had a nice day.

    Near mine 3 I spoke to a gent who used to work for National Coal and he had no idea where 14 was. I hope somebody much closer to that area can find this one and move it along. I had fun looking though. :1drink

    OK this might be a good challenge.

    I just did some googleing and found a link to the EIS that gives a pretty good location........SO NO MORE HINTS yet:evil

    It was a great day for riding....but I didn't get home til about 7:30pm Sat and had all the weekend catchup around the house to do:(:

    Not sure how ballsy I really am, but if I stumble upon it I may venture with the cbr to get the pic. That may be a terrible idea so I'm hoping someone else gets it before me.:dizave

    I know I wouldn't take a CBR to this Tag.

    I'm glad to see it getting this much interest.

    I didn't plan this location.

    you say that in the nicest way:D

    Lol I thought not... I figured I'd test the waters with a question like that. Hopefully I'll have a dual sport before long and could get it.... O and the You Suck was in the nicest way plausible :ken

    This tag is getting awfully stale. How long before we call some rule and move it?

    Meanwhile I've had a turn with the NC Tag and it's moving 2 or 3 times a day sometimes. Much more active and more people participating. Whatever, I can still play over there.
