Good tag and you didn't know but that was the very first Tag.

Leave it up if we continue the Dejavu, Roger needs to go tag it.

I have the location, and the bike.....but not the camera. :-\   

I thought you can never use a tag twice....hence the challenge to keep it moving around rather than repeating?  Oh rule gods...what say you?

I figgered Jeff is the "godliest" authority on this photo tag, and he said leave it. But I can post another if desired. (There's a reason for a long lunch break).

For others who don't know the tag, here's hint #1:
The buildings behind Ol' Bessie are a creamery. It's located in a town that has the same name as the creamery.

I know where it is too........

I think all bets are off on the past tag history since it is no longer available for reference.  New forum, new game. IMHO

No need to change tags because I found Bessie out in Norwood on Hwy 212.

This spidery looking sculpture can be found west of the cities on the nickel highway.

Yep, kinda bored around work lately. The lull between project phases. But, I just heard the mgmt approved the next 2 phases, so we'll probably get very busy after a week or two.

That was a good get on the cow. You must have had that one in your sights before I gave the hint.

Time for a hint? Anyone heard of Bill Austin? I used to work for his company in Eden Prairie. That company also has a manufacturing facility in the same town as the current tag.

Cool. That would make a good photo tag!
But... While I'm no expert at this, I think ya gotta tag the current one first.

I don't know if more hints are necessary, or if it's just too hot for riding. Anyone who goes out to get it can sit down in air-conditioned comfort for a nice pizza buffet.

There, that should be enough hints for anyone.  :)

Is that in Roswell, NM??  I was recently in that town on my x-country ride and saw all sorts of crazy stuff like that

Finally got out without feeling like I was in a sauna, only to get caught in a thunderbuster around Chaska.  Road as far as Waconia without spotting the tag (did I pass it?) and then got turned around by heavier rain.  Clues are in order.
