Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism — Kenny Powers

I also vote for a new target. The closest round barn to me is 3 hours away on a private sanctuary farm I couldn't ride to anyways, whatever the fuck that is. Picking something so rare kinda kills the fun on this thread

Wiki says it's in complete disrepair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorough_Round_Barn_and_Farm That one no longer exists however I did some researching and found one that is 2 hours away. Found it by looking at satellite imagery. Wont be able to go to it anytime soon because I'm going to the MotoGP race this weekend. https://vanishinggeorgia.com/2017/11/30/round-barn-laurens-county/ https://www.google.com/maps/@32.5789791,-82.8377304,3a,63.9y,71.24h,84.62t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4iGQNtaXGN7mA-mg5bY_UQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en |

How about a round human “barn”? (Just adding some life to the thread until someone fulfills the actual target) I vacationed in this yurt near Meeker CO last year.

Phone booth target was posted 15 days ago. No joy.  Let's do something different to get this thread moving again. New target: Your bike and a ruined building. There are more of those out there than phone booths. Ya just have to ride the back roads to find them. Go ride, y’all.  ^^^ example only. not trying to hit my own target.  |

Attached File Stopped to get gas today and after clearing my trip 1 and cycling back to my odometer I noticed this. Attached File Next target is a wildlife refuge or preservation area. |
 " />My apologies if you can’t read the sign, it’s a “game production area.” I need to figure out to post pictures cleanly on this site. Picture shows up in preview, comes up as a link when I post. Next target: Your bike with two different animals. |

Saw the new target post this morning while I was out riding and I thought I had a perfect location (based on my memory) but the welcome sign and the statues are not co-located like I thought, so no bonus for me. This is Kingston WA, the Welcome to Kingston sign is about 100 yards up the road there. Attached File Next target is the same target I requested last time, but someone found a way around the thing I asked for, so I'll be more clear here. You, riding your bike, in a turn (angle of bank at your discretion) taken by someone who is not you and not on the bike. |

I'm confused why this one was so hard. I just asked my wife to take a shot of me turning into the neighborhood, she stood entirely in the wrong place, a car appeared out of nowhere and ruined the shot, I did a u-turn and we got it on the second try. EDIT to add: When I told her what I wanted she looked at me like I was a mental case.  Attached File Do we want to stay with this one or move on to something else, like your bike in the driveway next to a pet or some such? |
