North American Tag-O-Rama! - Page 142

Mr Egg enjoys using his crown at his last meal before going camping again.

After careful inspecting Mr Egg, he was properly adorned with another Tat

The Tag:

Seeped in military history, this location has served in at least two wars. The most notable of all the uses, it currently holds the title as the largest North American (possibly world) ship graveyard.

PS The last 1/2 mile is county maintained, packed gravel road.

However, you mid-night taggers will probably only get to see this, as there is an access gate 0700 to dusk.

Dusk is apparently near 1900ish...

Mr Egg is accessible 24-hrs a day. As you turn off the the tarmac, you will see two parking areas. Park in the one on the left. About 30 feet from where the gravel begins, and 30 feet into the woods. You will find a pile of concrete. He is under the largest piece:

The last thing Mr Egg saw before being entombed; A nice view of a heavy, wide-ass BMW...

Be forewarned, Mr Egg is co-tagging with the Maryland TOR game, and the speed can be voracious!

Oh, and I put a few of those wonderful SMIB stickers in the package for you out of towners.

I'm actually still at work and that is only 15 minutes down the road....

Actually, after this long of a day, I think I will go to Murphy's pub and have a Guinness instead

EOD3MC · 10-12-2010, 09:20 PM

Since the tag is in the Southern Maryland area...Someone had to do a night grab...

Mr Egg was rescued from the Wilds of Charles County, specifically Mallows Bay.( Pretty close to N38 28.140 W77 15.802)
We did indeed run into the locked gate as described by the Mr Egg's captors. The KLR being spritely and nimble could have fit through the pedestrian gate but there was no way the GSA was going through..

Following the directions provided via a spotty blackberry connection, we were able to find and extract the objective...

Because of the numerous and dangerous local wildlife (actually had about 12 deer cross in front of us at once during the ride back) and the SMIB trend of having two bikes at the Tag...GS ADV Pilot was recruited to provide support

After a safe extraction and return to "civilization" Mr Egg relaxed with a cup of coffee and contemplated the location for his next tatoo...

GOOD JOB GUYS!
Being in SMIBland, it was clearly not going to languish.

Have an idea for you to consider and first a little history:

This game started February 1, 2009 and HBurgNinja (HBN) introduced the first icon in March '09, Blockhead, while we were all playing with Allie in the VaTOR game. This was when I had the little guy in DC at one point:

Then Blockhead got fumbled, DC fell apart, and...

...CycleJohn rescued Blocky and he now lives in Delco, PA, but in the meantime we got the Funky Chicken:

He was lost in action in May '09.

And Mr. Egg came into play in Post 474. It's strange to see him with absolutely no tatts.

So now it's been over a year and Eggy is running out of skin to tattoo.

Maybe you can give him a short pause to find some nice case that's small but would give new space to put initials and names on? Keep it small enough that when full, it and Eggy can get a slightly larger case to continue?

Wrecks

LONG LIVE EGGO

EOD3MC · 10-13-2010, 03:44 AM

Here's what I have so far...Let me know if this seems acceptable...

Located a small plastic container that fit the egg comfortably. Should accept engraving well.

The other items, including the "crown" fit in the bag that's been in use.

Since the white plastic container is a bit conspicuous, I put everything in this camo pouch I have. (pouch is roughly 6"x6"x4")

The back of the pouch has "alice" tabs so it can be secured just about anywhere for those who travel light...

Any ideas or suggestions??

Patrick46 · 10-13-2010, 08:05 PM

Looks like a working situation you've come up with there. Very well thought out. Compact, versitile, functional......in a word...PERFECT!!!

joints4sale · 10-14-2010, 03:31 AM

Hey EOD that looks almost like it could be mistaken for an IED.

EOD3MC · 10-14-2010, 03:55 AM

Nah..no wires

But if I don't post a new tag soon, people on the site may "blow up".

Update: have a spot planned, hope to get a chance to run there Friday evening...

Sorry, Hopefully tomorrow after work....planning to escape a bit early

badguy · 10-15-2010, 08:14 AM

Hmmm, I might be leaving work a little early too

Wreckchecker · 10-15-2010, 10:46 AM

There's going to be a bunch of bikes at the 301 bridge, just waiting for a red KLR to follow.
