How about a guy/gal on a statue pointing at something.

I'm not going to cheat and say I just took this.  It's actually from the 2018 Scavenger Hunt, so it doesn't qualify. But it's motivation.

I do have a couple of ideas for 2020MSH.  There's supposed to be some major storms tomorrow, but I'll see what I can do.

We all like pics though.

I got the idea for the target from a pic I took back in feb.

George Marshal pointing at the place he discovered gold in California.

I just got back from my ride and didn't see one of those on a bank all day,  made a few detours for more posabilities,  no joy in South Lake Tahoe,  the whole east side of the lake and the main drag of truckee,   Nothing on the main strip in Auburn.  I did get not one but two flipped over semis,  one happened right in front of me in S Lake Tahoe this morning.

Roads closed pizza boy,  find another way around.

West Chesterfield. Route 9 right over the big green bridge from Brattleboro (putney road).
Surprised you didn't ask about the new bike. That's the Moto Guzzi Breva i bought late last year.  I still have the Suzuki if anyone is interested .

PS- clarification for my target, they can be YOUR kids. So long as they are fishing.

Edit for better picture of the bike.

I thought that stretch of road looked familiar. The signs are new, weren't there when I was last through about a week and a half back.

So... About the time you were taking those pics, I was taking my own. Since I didn't know they'd put those in, I turned around at the Riverside Grocery at the base of the hill. These are the sign going into Vermont, a mile or so from where you took yours.

All right, Roger. Here's the kid fishing. My neighbor's kid, as it would happen.



Further down the road, we find a couple of folks in a sailboat (way out there, over the kill switch on the Fat Girl).



Best I can do with an iPotato...



And more folks coming back from a cruise, with a gal in a kayak way out there...



...really.

I got this one, this is a place holder until i get back home tonight

EDIT: I should have checked the weather before I went out. Got to the diner, sat down, and a thunderstorm rolls in about 5 minutes later. Pretty good timing. I order their burger with sauteed morels which was a bit pricey for a diner type place but it tasted pretty good.
