Scooter Bob Posted April 12, 2009 Share #526 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Here's a link to a site with info about... Dr. Evermore's Scrap Metal Park http://www.ohiobarns.com/othersites/miscellaneous/49-57smp/49-57scrapmpark0.html where we found the big guitar. If you're ever in south central Wisconsin, check it out. It's South of Baraboo on US 12 about 8 miles. The good doctor is now in a wheel chair, but will be sculpting again this summer. That was a fun target, can't wait for the next one to be found so Karen and I can play again. Later, Scooter Bob and Karen P.S. The current target still is... You and your bike and a real life Round Barn in the pic. If not quite round, at least an octagon Edited April 12, 2009 by Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH Truck Guy Posted April 12, 2009 Share #527 Posted April 12, 2009 How 'bout a picture of you & your bike in front of a larger-than-life musical instrument. Something you might find in front of a music landmark, nightclub, recording studio, music store or something. Has to be at least 3 or 4+X normal scale to qualify. It 's not where you wanted us to find it, but it's big. It's at a Scrap Metal Sculpture park just south of Baraboo. I can't believe I never heard of this place till yesterday. I'll post a link about the park when we get home. WilCruise , If you like it, the next target is something my dad (a truck driver) says can be found in most areas of the country. So Here Goes... You and your bike and a real life Round Barn in the pic. If not quite round, at least an octagon, we saw one of each on the ride yesterday, so I know they are out there. Good Luck, Scooter Bob and Karen The Dells,Baraboo,I was sorta kinda close....Is that the place across from the the Badger Ammo plant????????? Hey buddy,thanks for the sideways pictures...I think I threw my neck out of joint....:crackup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Bob Posted April 12, 2009 Share #528 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) "The Dells,Baraboo,I was sorta kinda close...." Ya, kinda close, but I don't think it's the one you were tipping me off to, so I feel better about it. I didn't want to be called a cheater if I didn't absolutely have to be.. "Is that the place across from the the Badger Ammo plant?????????" Yes, and it's quite a place. Have you been there before?? I also liked the Surplus Store right next door. It's like a boneyard for used industrial equipment. I may be back the next time they want me to do a low budget automation project at work. "Hey buddy,thanks for the sideways pictures...I think I threw my neck out of joint...." Sorry, it was just soooo tall, it's the only way to take the pics. And then I used my sister's puter to post them on Friday as promised so we could stay up there an extra day. She's into apples now,and our camera wouldn't hook up, so we fired up an old laptop she had. :bang head:Between the old puter and the very slow "Wildfire" satalite internet, I was glad I got anything to post. Our 100 mbs dsl now seems like one of those "first gens" I've heard so much about. You and your bike and a real life Round Barn in the pic. If you're riding today, there is a round one about 12 miles west-southwest of here. There is an octagon one on 12 between Dr Evermore's Scrap Sculpture and Baraboo or the Dells. Has everyone voted in VR POLLS about sticking this thread on the front page again??? Later, Scooter Bob and Karen P.S. Happy Easter Dan and Shari and everyone else.. P.S.S. Because this thread does get "chatty" (not that there's anything wrong with that) I'm going to repost whatever the current target is at the bottom of all my posts so it's easy for everyone that's playing to keep track...Perhaps others will do the same... The current target is... You and your bike and a real life Round Barn in the pic.

IH Truck Guy Posted April 12, 2009 Share #529 Posted April 12, 2009 No,never stopped there,always wanted to. It's on the list.

eagleeye Posted April 12, 2009 Share #530 Posted April 12, 2009 Here ya go, Me, my bike and a round barn----- Scooter Bob, Thanks for the headsup on this one. I did pick a round barn south of here though. Much cooler roads to get there and back on. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Bob Posted April 12, 2009 Share #531 Posted April 12, 2009 That one's not near as perrty as the red octagon I saw the other day, but it's round and it may have been a barn and that works for me. So eagleeye, what are the rest of us looking for now??? We've got a little day light left, and I'm itchin for a little ride..

Steve I don't know Steve,we are looking thru your windshield at the barn.It might be a square barn that appears round... :rotfl: Seriously,nice job on the one handed picture taking...

eagleeye Posted April 13, 2009 Share #534 Posted April 13, 2009 Hey Dan, I've been driving by that barn for several years now, and it is used as a barn, not in the best shape for sure. Actually, there is this very cool, strange house, if you will just up the road, and for sale that I wanted to see. And turned on some really cool back roads to get back home on. The back roads ALL had sand on the corners still from last winter, so be careful on them. Had to take a bunch of pics to actually get me, the bike and the barn all in the picture. I think the out west guys might just get the burma shave one though. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Bob Posted April 17, 2009 Share #535 Posted April 17, 2009 OK, Here's the next target: You, your bike, and a burma shave sign. Steve Are you looking for "burma shave" specifically, or any product/business that uses the one liner signs strung out along the road??

dynodon Posted April 25, 2009 Share #536 Posted April 25, 2009 The poll was overwhelmingly in favor of sticking the thread, and then I go look for it today, and it is many pages down the line. So STICK this already, whoever is in charge! Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfwitt Posted April 25, 2009 Share #537 Posted April 25, 2009 OK, Here's the next target: You, your bike, and a burma shave sign. Steve This could be tough since Burma Shave was sold in 1963. Someone needs to go to an antique store apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagleeye Posted April 25, 2009 Share #538 Posted April 25, 2009 Couple years ago, went to the salt flats for speed week and saw them along side the road, so they are out there. Burma Shave-- Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
