Northwestern VA Tag!

[bwalsh]

Now that you are thoroughly bored...

New Tag!
Heeerrrrrreeeee'''''sssss RUDY!


Further back...See him to the right of the post?


The money shot...The dog is cool.



My Mapsourse software for my Zumo shows this road as a through road which is what I was hoping for. In reality, at least Google maps reality, it is three different roads that DO NOT connect. This time Mapquest has the road going through too.
The name of the road is the same as a piece of land that is in a triangular shape. There is more than one possibility so I'll help you narrow it down.
The tag is in a county that is named after a geographic feature along one of it's boundary.
Easy Peasy!

I apologize for this off topic note, but I just returned from a fantastic 2 week ride and took Rudie's cousin along - the photo says it all. If anyone has ever thought about heading south and wants more info, just PM me and I'll be happy to share what I have learned.

As in Argentina South? Cool!
I was wondering what happened to you. I forgot you mentioned going on a trip and thought you had fallen off the face of the earth. Guess I wasn't too far off.

OK since no one that knows the whereabouts of Rudy has gone to grab him and another inmate came up with a logical answer that happens to be wrong I'll add another clue...

The name of the road is the same as one of the three things Arlo Guthrie told the psychiatrist in room 604 he wanted to see along with veins in his teeth at White Hall Street on his song "Alices Restaurant".



You can Google the lyrics(what fun is that) or listen here...

Sunrise grab this morning at Gore Road off of Route 729. Tag coming soon. Rudy is on the top case.

[douglasgraham]

The name of the road starts with an "e" and is one word. It’s a suburb of the city of Auckland in New Zealand that is home to a famous horse race course and flower show.

Here is Rudy at the base of his tree.


Covered up.



A few steps back.



Money shot of road and the tree that Rudy is waiting at is just to the right of the bike. Careful I almost went for a swim, the bank is step and slick.

Good tag..worth making a run for if I can find time...

[douglasgraham]

Rudy is pretty close to the waterline hope the rain did not do a number on him! I thought of this when I was planting him but I also thought that he would move pretty fast with people having time off for the holidays! O well he is a duck and Im guessing this would not be the first time "mother nature" made a grab and a tag.

It would have been grabbed yesterday but...

I get on the bike, fires right up, runs for twenty seconds then dies...WTF?

Cranked it over for a few minutes. Nothing. Drain the fuel bowl and try again. Nothing.
Pull the plug wire and don't see any spark. Not this again...Pull all the crap off to get to the CDI and swap out a new one I have. Still has a hard time starting but does fire up. I didn't check the spark but assumed I had flooded it. After starting it a few times with the good CDI I decide to put the old one in...and it starts right up and runs good. I'm really getting tired of this electrical problem. It's been giving me intermittent problems since last February.
It was a late start to begin with so after I got it running(it's still in pieces right now) I said to heck with it. Actually it was a little more harsh than that!

Then last night about 7:00 I go to turn on the water in the sink. No water, oh crap. Go down stairs to a partially flooded basement! Come to find out the 90° elbow on the bottom of the pressure tank had corroded and split and there was a 1" square hole in it the water was spewing out of!

Crap Bob.....when it rains it pours.
