I say that Critter and OJ's bikes in front of real Civil War soldiers, (even if they're dead) counts as pretty close.

 

[Critter]

Well if that counts OJ has to pick the next venue

 

[PORKY!]

Either way you chose it! Deadline has passed, time for a new challenge, I'm looking for info on my next roadtrip! :thumbsup:

 

[SeniorNCO]

Forgot about that deadline. Whats the next challenge? (Cannot hardly believe no one could find a re-enactor, not these days anyway)

 

[PORKY!]

If I read it right, I believe it's your call on the new challenge.

 

[SeniorNCO]

Had to go back and read that. Yep, challenge not met, here is the next Challenge.

Your bike, with you sitting on it, somewhere in The Sea of Tranquility.


JK! Give me a minute.

Wait, so is this the challenge or are we waiting on you to come up with another one?

 

[PORKY!]

Considering that the "Sea of Tranquility" is on the moon, we're waiting for the next challenge. The old challenge expired 4 days ago. :thumbsdown:

Times up, previous challenge winner or a mod should decide......

Times up, previous challenge winner or a mod should decide......

If the previous challenge winner doesn't come up with a new challenge by 8pm tonight (East Coast USA), I will come up with a new challenge.

 

[Critter]

Has he been on line recently? Answered my own question. His profile says last activity was 9/9/13

 

[Eye_m_no_angel]

I say it's on you Critter. You or OJ.

 

[Critter]

If it is on me then let's go with.

Your bike,
Veteran's Cemetery
Veteran's grave
Fresh Flowers on the grave that you brought with you

You don't have to know them but it would be better if you did.

Then on November 11 we should all repeat this challenge

 

[Eye_m_no_angel]

I think it would be better if you did NOT know the deceased.

Go pick out a veteran's grave that doesn't have any flowers or flags, one that has lain forgotten, and take the briefest pause out of your day and your ride, to put a couple bucks worth of flowers on it.

That would be a very small contribution to honor someone that helped give you the day you are enjoying, no?

^^^ :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: excellent!!!

That is a great idea! :thumbsup:

There is actually a tradition for veteran grave visits.

Leave a penny on the stone if you visit.

Leave a nickel if you knew the deceased.

Leave a dime if you served with the deceased.

Leave a quarter if you there when the deceased passed.

I've left $1.35 on veteran markers.

I've just recently heard of that. We used to just leave a beer on the graves of friends. The ones that had graves. Now it's way too far to do that and I've learned that they'll never be out of my heart whether I leave something or not.

Most years on November 11th, or close to it, I'd pick a state cemetery from a map and just take a ride to go find it. Carry a few paper poppies or some of the little flags and make a good excuse for a ride. For me, I like the idea of finding someone that's been mostly forgotten and offering a little sign of respect.

 

[Critter]

That is a good tradition Eye
