2018 Photo Tag Game

Hi Fellow Club Members,

It’s Nov 1st, so our official 2018 Photo Tag game has ended for the year.  It was an okay year with 13 photos for the contest using 4 people.  Not very many club members playing.  It’s not for everyone, I understand that and don’t push for involvement; but there are a few like myself that tell me about the fun they have with it and it’s a reason to go out for a ride.

I’d like to go ahead and keep the game going over the rideable colder months.  We’ll just drop most of the rules.  So, if anyone wants to go out and get the current tag and give us a new one, that can be done any time.  Yes, I do still like sending them through the Yahoo group too.  It lets Yahoo deal with storing our photos.

I do still have a yearly listing and copy of the rules here:

Thanks for your time and thanks for playing the game, for those that did.

Photo Tag Game

Hello All,

I’m writing this a reminder of our club Photo Tag game.  We don’t use the game much during the busy summer with the National and all, but it usually picks up again this time of year.  Okay, I say ‘picks up’, but for the last year or so, there’s only been me and a couple others playing the game.  Anyone in the club can play though.  You just go find the current tag, take a photo of your bike and the tag, and send it to the Yahoo club email address (subject line something like “Tag Found”) to ‘pick up’ the tag.  Then, within a day, go to a new site and take a photo of your bike and the tag and post that to the yahoo group (use a subject line of “New Photo Tag” or something).  This ‘places’ the tag.  In the posting email, don’t say where the tag is, just a hint about it’s location, making it a game.

There are some places that make this fun.  I like to make the tag interesting looking things to see typically.  If I’m riding along and something catches my eye, I do sometimes thing I’d like a photo of that.  Sharing the photo in the tag game shares it with others too.

Galen had posted the ‘current’ tag back in the middle of June.  I’d dropped the ending time rule since there were only a couple of us playing.  To get the game restarted though, let’s reset the tag at this time.  Whoever posts ANY new tag, it will be current.
