ArticusMedicus Posted July 22, 2009 #678 Posted July 22, 2009 Well, got rained out today...Maybe tomorrow.
KarlS Posted July 24, 2009 #679 Posted July 24, 2009 I vote to have "The Great VR Scavenger Hunt" moved and stuck in Fun and Frivolous like Don offered. Anyone else agree??
Freebird Posted July 24, 2009 #680 Posted July 24, 2009 I went ahead and moved it. Hopefully this will make it easier for folks to find and continue to enjoy.
Scooter Bob Posted July 27, 2009 #682 Posted July 27, 2009 New Target, You, Bike at a Brewery or BrewPub. I want the sign visible if possible. (probably already been done, but it's mine so... Just to update, and bump.. Later, Scooter Bob
krispy Posted July 28, 2009 #683 Posted July 28, 2009 Here you go!! A run to New Ulm, MN for a picnic at the Schell's Brewery Park. First pic is me with bike in front of the brewery (Denise took the shot, as we had no ready volunteers for the camera. Then a shot of the sign for company headquarters. A shot thru some of the gardens, toward the old home on the grounds. And best of all, my little 3 yr old g-daughter helping Gampa polish up the bike for the road. Next target: you, your bike, and an old country church that is still in use.
Guest seuadr Posted July 28, 2009 #684 Posted July 28, 2009 Here ya go! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030577_1024x768.jpg this church is about 30 mins from my house, on the way into lansing on 99. i love this church, as the steeple is in the corner, and perpendicular to the rest of the church. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030579_1024x768.jpg right next door to the church, a sinners car! http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030580_1024x768.jpg just up the road from that church is a cemetary. there are no buildings anywhere near it, but it's mown and upkept by someone. i couldn't find a single headstone that was dated newer than 1910. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030582_1024x768.jpg this one says 1868. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030584_1024x768.jpg the rose was remarkably visible on this, for being erected in 1860. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030588_1024x768.jpg this stone was not a military stone, but there was a vet star next to the grave and an american flag. i believe it says 1886. around here, there are quite a few civil war stones, but one two in this cemetary. then again, it seemed to hold about 6 familes, and 2 were civil war vets: http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/seuadr/P1030586_1024x768.jpg i did a little digging. looks like 4 searles were involved in the civil war in the area: Searles, Merrick 1st Artillery, Battery C Hawley Ingham Co., Mi Searles, Frederick 7th Infantry, Company B Hawley Ingham Co., Mi Searles, Hiram E.** 26th Infantry, Company D Skinner [Private] Eaton Co., Mi Searles, William F. 1st Artillery, Battery A Woodland Jackson, Mi but H.H isn't listed. i thought that was a little odd.
Scooter Bob Posted July 28, 2009 #686 Posted July 28, 2009 and the next mark is????????? Ya, cus we were just about to head to a church, and now I see we're too late, and nowhere else to go. I guess we'll get the fishin boat ready instead... Later, Scooter Bob
Guest seuadr Posted July 28, 2009 #687 Posted July 28, 2009 you, your bike, and an old country schoolhouse sorry, i was waiting for the judges to weight in
Scooter Bob Posted July 30, 2009 #688 Posted July 30, 2009 This used to be a school house, but now it's just sombody's house, a few miles outside of Beaver Dam, WI If it meets your approval, the next target is...... You and your bike in front of a... (sing it with me) ... Little Hotel called the "Shady Rest" at the Junction... (or not at a junction)(or a motel) . Just show me that someone else in the country has a sense of humor about the name of their business! Later, Scooter Bob and photographer Karen

Scooter Bob Posted August 1, 2009 #691 Posted August 1, 2009 Petticoat Junction It was a comedy TV show in the late 60's or early 70,s ( it was in color). That line is part of the show beginning song. I just have to think somebody must have named their hotel/motel after it. I think I've seen a couple here in WI over the years. Good Luck, Scooter Bob

Scooter Bob Posted August 9, 2009 #696 Posted August 9, 2009 Care to elaborate on the next target, that is for those of us that weren't around for the 60's? Found the lyrics for the whole song...

(Petticoat Junction) Lotsa curves, you bet. Even more when you get To the junction, Petticoat Junction. There's a little hotel called the Shady Rest at the junction. (Petticoat Junction) It is run by Kate, come and be her guest at the junction. (Petticaor Junction) And that's Uncle Joe, he's a movin' kind of slow at the junction, Petticoat Junction.
