That  was quick.  It sure is an ugly loco......not as pretty or colorful as mine......but I didn't say anything about looks

Pick a new mark.

It's runnin'! ... and that's pretty in another way.
These tracks run right by my workshop. It's interesting... You can pretty much tell the state of the economy by the number of trains running, moving people and freight.
Lot's of trains lately! :-) Unlike a few years ago.
And the freight trains carry lot's of art on the outside  ;-) that's nice to see.

I've got a couple of ideas but still thinking.. will post one up in a bit.
Is there a running list of the marks so far?

Ok here's the next mark...
Your bike at the beach!

Bonus points for bikini clad babes!

[scrapvalue]

The beach is a cool mark.
Here is a picture I used for another sites scavenger hunt that was for life guard stands.
It was late fall, so no bikinis, but I did find a couple of willing beautys to get in the pic.
Anyway, until someone hits the new mark, here is something to shot for.
(the bike I was riding was a 1978 Yamaha XS1100)

[OldSchool_IsCool]

I hear ya DJ!  My commute to work crosses the main line between Chicago and Sarnia.  Wasn't an issue until the last few weeks.  I now get blocked at least twice a week now.  Once got blocked TWICE on one morning commit alone!

Can't they just hold those suckers up in the marshaling yard until AFTER rush hour!?!?

[Stev-o]

Here is our local beach, very little sand, mostly rocks. Sorry, no bikinis.




Next mark: a large tree in the middle of the road

[scrapvalue]

Not much of a tree and not really much of a road. But it is a road and it is a tree and the tree is in the road, so I would guess that this could be considered a "tree in the road".

But I will wait for a ruling from who ever is ruling before I call another mark.

[Stev-o]

Not exactly what I had in mind. I meant a road that was paved around the tree.

Oh.

[DJ_AX]

My first thought also.. a  fallen tree  in the road. 

[scrapvalue]

O.K. I'll try this one more time. I know it isn't a big tree, but there are 4 of them.

Hopefully this will meet with your high expectations,(and lack of explainations), and I will have hit the mark, or at least close to it anyway.

Was the road paved before or after the trees were planted? 

just yanking your chain.

Actually the road isn't even offically open yet. They just paved it 2 days ago and the barakades are still up.

I was hoping after the roach coach we could have stayed with that theme and called a porta potty. 

[scrapvalue]

Well, I'm going to go out on a limb,(get it, it's a tree joke), and call the next mark.

An airplane.

[70CB750]

There is a road north of Rockville,MD where the lanes split for a huge oak/maple. But I am too far to make it there during the week.

[TrueSpin]

Sounds like I'm headed for the airport after work...

[70CB750]

This is what i mean.

In that case its just pavement....

[scrapvalue]

Maybe calling marks that make someone have to park their bike in the middle of the road to get the shot is not a good idea.
Just a thought.
