etcswjoe Posted April 24, 2012 Share #1951 Posted April 24, 2012 PS, If I can think up the next target while at work today, I should have that windmill afterwards. Next target is; you, your bike and a windmill. Can be a real one, fake one, fancy mailbox, etc..by DanOh Hurry up I am riding 2000 miles in the next 7 days so I need something to look for, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlS Posted April 24, 2012 Share #1952 Posted April 24, 2012 Sorry to hear you had to give your bike up, however the target says you , your bike and whatever but it does not say what kind of bike Ha Ha, The day before I sold the VR I sold a Vintage 1984 Raleigh Team USA 12 speed 555SL super tall that I had been holding onto. I couldn't ride it anymore after my first back surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Bob Posted April 24, 2012 Share #1953 Posted April 24, 2012 Better Late than Never... This was my plan 9 days ago, before my factory original battery decided to puke after less than 91,000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynodon Posted April 28, 2012 Share #1957 Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Bob, they are all over around Centralia IL where my wife is from, we just don't have a trip planned to go there soon.

DynoDon, there are some 20 miles east of ST Looey in the fields. WE passed a couple dozen today but didn't know about it till we got home around 8:00 pm tonight. Only thing on my mind was getting home left Slidell LA this morning went over the Ponchatrain bridge to New Orleans around towards Houma up to Lafayette hit I-49 and hammered down home well over 500 miles today. Bob that engine was a Fairbanks Morse not running condition of course but probably wouldn't have paid it second thought if you hadn't showed me those others. We found all kinds of old targets on our trip lots of things a person will just drive by without any appreciation. Thanks to this game those small things can make a trip even more enjoyable especially when your getting tired or bored and one pops up. Will post some pics when we get some feeling back in our posterior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this game does keep us looking at and appreciating all the scenery, and always turns "just a ride" into something to remember. Will post some pics when we get some feeling back in our posterior. Looking forward to them. Glad you had a great trip and made it home safe. The current target is... A pic of you and your bike and and OIL WELL PUMP JACK.

jointventure Posted April 29, 2012 Share #1964 Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Hope this will do. If so, Your next target will be a picture of You and your bike with a State Trooper sitting on it.

Scooter Bob Posted April 29, 2012 Share #1965 Posted April 29, 2012 Hope this will do. I don't think it will do the way it is. Can you try again to upload the picture to this forum. Welcome to the game. Just an F.Y.I, staged targets like the one you have proposed often bring this game to a grinding halt. Not that it can't be done, but it may take some time unless someone that plays the game knows someone that fits the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an F.Y.I, staged targets like the one you have proposed often bring this game to a grinding halt. Not that it can't be done, but it may take some time unless someone that plays the game knows someone that fits the description. Just updated the pic. hope it works now. As for changing the target, how about giving it a few days. I have been following this game from the beginning, some targets are harder than others. This target was the idea of a PA State Trooper that struck up a conversation with me while fueling up. He thanked us for not stealing the targets like most scavanger hunters. I know there are a few State LEO's on this forum, use your imagination. This may not be as do-able (pun intended) as the "Hooter's girls on your bike" target early on in this game, but give it a chance and if it takes too long, then I'll think of something else.

Scooter Bob Posted May 2, 2012 Share #1973 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) I'm surprised that it looks to be on an old looking foundation. Anything else around to give a clue at to what it was used for? Or did somebody put it on display there many years ago? Vincent, I'm going to put a post on the SmokStak forum to see if we can find out exactly what it is, and what it might have been used for.

playboy Posted May 2, 2012 Share #1975 Posted May 2, 2012 I looked for some information on it but there was none to be found you would think the town would have put a sign or something. It looked like it was on its original foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
