Have you missed a few tags? Been beaten to the punch. Gotten good pics either way?

Post them here in this thread. No game here, just pics and talking.

Great idea! Help relieve the frustration. I deleted a lot of what was dead. I'll see what I might have left.

Here's a soccer goal Easy Rider beat me to the punch on.

Excellant idea. :2tup:

Oh, good! Maybe now I'll be able to "play"....I just couldn't keep up with y'all. Especially trying to find some of those tags around here: covered bridge, grain elevators, 1812 vet graves...YIKES! Anyone for a palm tree? :cool:

I'd be SOL with a palm tree!

That's just it, it looks like somebody's gonna' be SOL with just about anything interesting. Maybe we should start looking at it less as competition, and more as a team effort. Like instead of "Oh sh*t, Jerry beat me to it!", we should start thinking more like "Good, Jerry got that tough one, now we can try for the next one and see how fast somebody can get it.".

That attitude will be a lot easier since we now have a place to post the photos whether we were first or not.

Good idea. And this is a better discussion thread than the actual tag thread itself.

I never did find a tombstone of someone born before 1800. I stopped at the Brainerd Mission Cemetery,(Chattanooga, jTennessee) which dates from 1817, but it was locked up and even if it wasn't I couldn't have gotten my bike near a tombstone. Then I went to the Confederate Cemetery on Lee Highway, unfortunately the soldiers originally buried there only had their graves marked with wooden markers which deteriorated and no records kept. However, there were 7-8 markers there with names and dates on either side of the mass grave tombstone. I'm not sure when those were placed, no information was posted, but I did find two privates, one dob 1825 and another dob 1818, so I snapped some photos. The tag-0-rama has already posted for this so, I thought I'd put my pics up here in case any US History buffs were interested. I snapped several plaques that tell a little information of both the Brainerd Mission and the Confederate Cemetery. By the way, I grew up in the area around this site named for the missionary who started that mission, David Brainerd, the area is called Brainerd and there's also an East Brainerd and a Brainerd High School. The Civil War Cemetery was the hang out of my local high school classmates who wanted to do a little drinking without much chance of being caught, it was kinda isolated in my day, now there's a Harley Davidson Dealership right next to it.

By the way, I've still got relative that refer to the US Civil war as the "War of Northern Agression". Seriously.
