Huh. That's actually a very interesting site. Interesting to see the burial sites/markers - from the very humble to very ornate.Syd wrote:Don't give up yet. Presidents have been buried all over.

Here lays James K. Polk, 11th President of these United States:

Your next tag, should you choose to except it, your scooter w/a buffalo, the only stipulation is that if its not alive (or in taxidermy form) it must be equal of or greater proportion to a real buffalo. There's a median here in Nashville on the verge of what might be considered the ghetto, and why in the world someone decided to adorn it w/buffalo's is beyond me. I don't believe they are indigenous to TN... unlike James K. Polk.

Oh, man, am I !
I didn't know you couldn't use old photos. My roller coaster one is old - and I used it on another scooter tag game on another site.
So, is it ok to take pictures of things in anticipation of using them as a tag? (Which is what I did with Grant's tomb.) For ex., yesterday I was at PepsiCo's headquarters (they have a sculpture garden). Today I said, "oh I should have taken a picture of my scoot and the PepsiCo sign to use as a future tag: corporate headquarters.

See it says right there her tag is allowed. Game on!Wordwide Scooter Tag Association® Official Rulebook; Paragraph 845.5 subsection 4 line 65 wrote: Clearly states:
At no time will a stock photo either from a player's own personal library nor previous scavenger hunt experiences, regardless of the method of play; e.g. scooter club meeting, online forum, campus bulletin board; shall be accepted as a legitimate tag, unless said photo is followed by an exceptionally difficult tag in which very few players have access to tagging; e.g. next to Bigfoot, Nessie, or a Presidential tomb.

Fake buffalo
Here's my fake buffalo. He was lying down, and wouldn't get up.
Here's the next tag to get: something outsized, something scaled much larger than lifesize.

I finally got out to get this. We actually have quite a few vineyards in and around the Portland area, also known as the Willamette Valley. So I give you, without futher ado, Cooper Mountain Vineyards
The vines, yellow leaves for fall

The sign in front, glare makes it hard to see "Vineyards" below Cooper Mountain

Your next tag, should you choose to accept it, a giant insect*. This one, amusingly enough, was advertising a dance studio. My scooter is in the background.

Well, I was thinking anything larger than life would work. But I think it would also be acceptable if you live somewhere that has naturally occurring scary-large insects and you manage to get a picture with one of them.cmac wrote:So how big does this giant insect have to be?
Possible big insect locations: Exterminator headquarters (perhaps painted onto their trucks), playground equipment, or even a Halloween decoration posed on your seat.

Call them whatever you like, they look like roaches to me! I've lived here my whole life and we always called them cockroaches,
someone was like "palmetto bugs are the worst!" and I'm thinking what the heck are those? Also we have giant stink-bug-looking
things with big grasshopper legs. Now THOSE are creepy.

Yay! I didn't kill scooter tag after all. Nice job! I like how the wall color coordinates with your scooter, and that segues nicely into your tag. So on that tag, does the color match have to be exact, or would any old green scooter match the Italia (not that I can recall seeing any other green scoots, besides the Italia, but just in case).
