Street bike?

Adam, my photo was at your exact GPS coordinates. Plugged them right into my 276c. If it's not the correct spot, then you gave the wrong coordinates.

Let me know when you want to go back and explore. That would be fun. Maybe we could do a stealth ride tomorrow a.m.?

doc, your gps picture shows that your location is on the other side of the srteam from the target spot :) you're in the wrong spot, but we're all geting used to that

if you want we can go there today (better for me then tomorrow..)
just call me, text me or live something here, but now let me explore the Meadow Rd (maybe we can search for new spot for the GS tag..?)

Sorry, Adam, but I don't have your cell number. You have mine, so call me. I'm home doing some chores. I could meet you today at Galloping Hill, if that would be a good place to meet.

I'll bring the Flame Thrower!

no need for special equipment there

i just sent you a text message, but who know if you paid for your service this month and if you get that sms or not..
anyway, i have about 2-2.5 hrs window of opportunity to get you to the "secret fishing hole" before i have to take my partner to a soccer game..

is/was anyone other than Doc trying or is interested in snatching this tag?
...if the GPS coordinates aren't enough, maybe it is time for me to share the "access code" to the secret gate?

RedPower · 10-04-2009, 07:32 AM

Do I have to go through some sort of trucking yard to get to the path that takes me to this tag? If so is this trail legal?

trucking yard?

..not that i know off
it looked like an industrial area, but there was a residential house (or appeared to be residential, with a grill setup and everything) on the left, at the end of public road, and beginning of the access road to the fishing hole.
there is a "NO DUMPING" sign at the gate, but i was able to go around it with my Fat Princess with no problem, and there was no signs about trespassing for sure. the path to the tag is actually paved for the most part so it shouldn't be a problem for any bike. on your way back, few feet before the access gate, there is a trail on your left - this is where you will find the bonus hill
ride safe!

Adam, you are wasting our time. Don't post GPS coordinates if they aren't correct. And wandering for miles along a park to find an obscure entrance to illegal stuff isn't right either. Very dissapointed in you, especially considering the help you've needed in the past!

> 1 BAD HABIT · 10-04-2009, 11:37 AM

coordinates are right on and not one sign prohibiting you to enter :) i would take you there but i'm in bronx right now... sorry. don't get lazy just go and take it where it''s easier to find the tag

So are mine. I went back, and this is as good as your photo of the river and the bridge. DucGonzo says I'm close enough!!!

RedPower · 10-04-2009, 05:39 PM

Hey doc I give you credit for going back. Good to see the duck.

http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid...c2%b018.775%27

I think you are still @ the wrong bridge? If you look @ this map & scroll north you can see the truck yard/sea containers area? that has a path through the tree line that leads to the green arrow. Adam says he went in by someones back yard probably on Dorset or Epping Dr. Was going to check it out, but he didn't post until I was already out.

Nope, it's the right bridge. Just the other side of the river. DucGonzo swam across to get the right angle, but forgot her I-phone!

Let's see if Adam is in a good mood. Remember, the tag acceptance is at the COMPLETE DISCRETION OF THE DROPPER!

But I'm not going back a third time. Two many hikers and park people around. This is a very densely populated area, you know!

> 1 BAD HABIT · 10-04-2009, 05:54 PM

doc, if you're avaiable now, i'll pack my SLR to take the perfect night shot or if you are a morning person we can go there first thing in the morning, but don't cheat!

as a bonus we can tag the GS Barney residence i just found...
