STOC TAG

[dduelin]

I met up with MAC_JD last night and accepted the tag. We had some challenges getting a photo done on a rainy night but we prevailed. This is a well traveled tag for sure. I am honored to move it on and see that it gets back to Moonshine this year.

And here it is! Not the best but . . . .

That'll do just fine... glad to see you guys meet up and pass the torch. Thanks for the good job moving the Boys through the world.

Great job, Dave and Jim. Glad to see it moving again. I mean still... don't think it's set very long in any one spot.

 

[STraycatt]

I am very happy with how this has moved around, and look forward to seeing it at moonshine this year. I may refresh the book depending on condition and space left when I see it, but have high hopes we can send it on an even longer journey this year. (Anyone from Australia or China coming to Moonshine this year?)

even longer journey this year

I'm in the U.A.E. currently....but will be home in 2 weeks.... via Prestwick, Scottland Unfortunately, can't do any riding over here.....

 

[Firstpeke]

Are you in Prestwick for any length of time, or just staging.... (fuel/rest/ crew change)

Should be on the ground for 18-24 hours for crew rest on our way home from deployment.

If it's overnight and you are in a local hotel, let me know, I might be able to get down to have a coffee/tea/chat/eyeball with you!

When I was stationed at the Navy squadron at Prestwick back in the late '70's my now wife worked in the Scottish and Oceanic Air Traffic Control Centre....

Of course I start my new job on the 5th March but could still maybe make time to have a meet......

Wahorn and I took some pictures in downtown Cowford (Jacksonville, FL) to continue this Tag.

Tomorrow I will saddle up for the ride to Moonshine 2012.

It was an honor to be included in this even for a short while.

Thanks for moving the Boys along.

I wish I could be there for the "Grand Transfer"

 

[George]

Looking forward to seeing the package again. I been thinking, I'm gonna make a disc with pics from this site, and maybe print a few to stick in the bag too.

Moonshine Transfer.

 

[Firstpeke]

I am so sorry that i couldn't come over this year.... both lack of finance and the new job to improve that situation have prevented the best laid plans of mice an men...

I was so honoured to have been given the tags to bring them over to Urp..... thanks to ALL who participated over here, Cammy, Derek, MacJD and any others I have missed from the Urp contingent..... thank you ALL for joining in to take the TAGS around Scotland, London, the Alps, Italy and so on....

You are all stars!

Maybe next year....... (eyes glazing over and far away look on face).... Perhaps anyone going to New Zealand or Australia could participate?

Hope you all enjoy Moonshine, when you hoist your Moonburger, Amish Cherry Pie and Ice cream and root beer/DrPepper, think of us poor lonely individuals who can't make it this year.......

 

[George]

Tag is now in the hands of Mt. Mike. He'll move it around some.

Thanks to MD and Dave and all the previous tranporters for a great job, and for getting it back to STrayCatt at Moonshine.

 

[Digiamo]

I see peeks, valleys, forests with camping fires and plenty of traveling folks in this TAG's near future.

Bravo to these boys excorts....

Travel well, Mike.

 

[George]

Gotta add Bad Bob to the stack... in process.

Thank you for the honor for the big Moonshine hand off! I already have some great places in mind that are fitting for someone like me to introduce Derek, Charlie, Terry, and Putt to im my riding area.

The rules are simple:

Locate the current tag, and the tag package. Get a photo of your motorcycle with the tag/tag package, and then move it on.

Transfer of the tag/tag package can be a simple hand off, much like the pony express, or a delayed hand-off with the tag package secreted near the tag location.

A log book entry should also be made for each Tag location.

Teaser Tags, shots of the tag package's journey, are also allowed and encouraged.

Repeats are allowed, and the tag package does not have to travel via motorcycle, although that is the preferred method. Aircraft, watercraft, horses, and cars are all allowed, to name a few. The reason for this is, I would love to see this tag spread beyond the borders of North America, and even potentially cross oceans (if anyone carries it that far. Please do!!)

May this Tag travel everywhere Derek and Charlie hoped to ride ...

OK, so just reading up on this because my idea of this package was a little different than whats written above, so I want to make sure I fully understand the rules.

I'm seeing people take photos of the metal tags at cool places and when you hand the package off to the next person you write it in the log book? What confuses me is all the entries in the log book, so it seems the rules have evolved over time?

 

[STraycatt]

The rules list the minimums, but don't restrict further entries. Ultimately, aside from the minimum entries at each tag location, you can put, or allow to be put, whatever entries you choose.

Here we go, Trekker Dave, Gene, and myself routing the night before my first rally Cape Fear 1000. The tags will be with me my entire trip, and I plan to have another photo op at the finish if I'm not too exhausted to remember.

Edit: added a "End of Rally" photo in front of the scoring tables.
