I have been on my bike the last four days, 1500 miles to Atlanta and back to help a friend pick up a new bike. I know where there is "elevated" transportation in a couple spots, but as usual weather is supposed to be iffy next couple of days.

 

Keep up the good work everyone!

Where you at Don that the weather is suppose to be iffy?

[dynodon]

Rick, Well, last night was storms, and I thought I saw a forecast for rain today, but looking outside, I see that isn't the case. Looks perfect.

 

Want to go for a ride and get the target together?

[Scooter Bob]

Where you at Don that the weather is suppose to be iffy?

 

Ya, that's what I was wondering. :confused24:I just put on 80 miles since leaving Rick's in gorgeous sunshine.

 

I guess it's a good thing I headed South , instead of West 15 miles.

Hey Joe,

 

Do Camels count??

 

They use them for transportation in the desert.

 

The reason I ask is that I've seen a lot of these camel silouettes today (see pic attached below).:crackup:

 

 

 

I did see a nice semi truck and trailer around mile 71 on I55 in MO being used as a bilboard, but I couldn't get to it for a pic.

 

I'll keep hunting tomorrow in Arkansas.

 

Later, Scooter Bob

 

 

The current target is...

You, Your Bike and an Elevated mode of transportation, by etcswjoe

I found this right away this morning, just west of Corning, AR. But it's pretty lame, I'll keep hunting.

 

This is an excellant target, Joe, I just can't seem to find anything so far on this trip.

 

Within an hour from home I could show you a dump truck, Oshkosh truck, bulldozer, and semi tractor/trailer mounted vertical, all an poles. And a farm tractor on top of a silo.

It qualifies but it's up to you, It almost looks like it would have fit the home made mailbox.

I say keep hunting everybody, we can do better than a lawn tractor on a 5 foot pole.

 

Later, Scooter Bob

[Scooter Bob]

I'm a little happier with this find. It's about 26 miles east of Foreman, AR.

 

If Joe is ok with no wheels?

Wicked, I had not even thought about a boat I think I will take the rest of the day off and go look for a hubcap.

[dynodon]

There used to be an entire building covered with hubcaps on the south side of Peoria, was there about a year ago. I guess I could cheat, I have an old spinner hubcap off a 50's Oldsmobile, that I could hang on one of my buildings but that wouldn't be nice!

[KarlS]

I know of a building that is covered on all sides with hub caps, but it's 32F and been sleeting and now :snow2:ing. Oh well, supposed to warm up a bit Monday.

Hey We are supposed to be in the mid 70s and sunny on Sunday, as soon as we are done with that I'll pack it up and sent it across the pond with over night delivery, just for you.
