    Golden Horseshoe Photo Tag

    I've been watching the Ontario and GTA photo tags and figured it was time to try one in the Golden Hoseshoe (Hamilton, Halton and Niagara areas). I've copied the GTA rules to start out (it seems to work so why not?).


    The rules are pretty simple...
    1). Post a picture of any place in the Golden Horseshoe that you have ridden to.
    2). The bike must be in the picture.
    3). The place has to be somewhere anyone can ride to (no private property etc.), on roads (paved or gravel) no trails.
    4). Show some photo clues taken along the way to the tag spot (optional).
    5). The first person to post a shot of the same spot (including their bike) on this thread gets to place the next tag.
    6). No old photos, must be current.
    7). The person who finds and posts a tag, must place another tag withing 3 hours of the find post or else that tag is considered void and still open.


    The idea to get out riding and have fun, so don't place any tags that are impossible to find, that kinda defeats the purpose.

    EDIT:

    In order to define the tagging area, it will be the regional boundaries of the Hamilton, Halton, Niagara and Haldimand (not Norfolk) regions.

    To assist in their definitions;

    Halton Region - http://haltonenvironment.com/wp-cont...map_halton.jpg

    Niagara Region - http://www.niagararegion.ca/explorin...al-niagara.pdf

    Haldimand County Region - http://www.haldimandcounty.on.ca/upl...oating_Map.pdf

    Yesssss!

    I was regularly checking the Kitchener-Waterloo tag game but it is kinda far from me and some of those guys are hard core. Posting a road bridge with a bunch of greenery around... I was completely clueless.

    I hope this tag will move at the same pace as the GTA tag moves. I always like to ride to Niagara Falls, however I did not always have a steady reason. Until now.

    Happy tagging!

    I've been watching the other tags and realized that it's a great way to figure out where to go and see new things when you've got a bit of time, the itch to ride... but don't know where to go! I hope it takes off too!

    That one is a bit out of range for a week night but this looks like a good game. Just subscribed to the post, I'm in. Thanks Coyo.

    Exactly! There were days when I wanted to go for a ride & I just didin't feel like going to the same old places... but where to go? Answer: photo-tag! I'll keep watching this thread for a chance to get a long-range shot at a tag some weekend. Thanks for starting it up.

    Met a guy named "Syd" here. He proved to be quite a "ham" (cheesy, I know, but that's the hint).
