I haven't tried to go yet, so I wasn't absolutely sure about the guard stations. I think I might get a chance Saturday. There shouldn't be any major events going on and no guard stations.

I got it! However, I realized after I got home that I should have been further back. Oh well. I think it's close enough.

Oh thank god someone finally got this tag!
![]() Next tag is tough. If the location is not tough enough, the weather's about to make it tougher. We'd better get it before Christmas, or we're in big trouble... ![]() |

They are usually up until right around or before New Year's Day. I will let people know when they are gone, if someone has not gotten it by then.
If you need more hints, let me know. |

The hint is actually a really big hint. I don't want it to be too difficult. However, if people need more hints, I am willing to oblige.

My body was warm this morning, but my hands were freezing. I see that for this really cold weather, my vented gloves with silk, thermal glove liners is not going to cut it. I guess I will be looking into some winter gloves soon. I want to keep riding as long as their is no rain, snow, or ice. I won't be riding tomorrow Even if it's just to avoid the madness that ensues when they say there might be snow or ice.

Okay I wanted to go get this tonight but I won't be able to. I have to meet my wife for dinner and won't be coming home this way this evening. I'll try to get it when I can but that probably won't be until next week since I definitely will be taking the bus tomorrow.

hint
"may be found just south, before crossing the Guadalupe River
in search for Maribeau Buonaparte before around the turn of the 1800's" I know I know...a little vague... hope it helps, if not I'll give another hint. I've always been bad at those, but should be easy to find. |

I feel really stupid. I thought this looked really familiar. I used to live around the corner from this in college at 21st and Pearl. I used to pass this all of the time. I don't think there is any business there right now.

Don't feel too bad. Sometimes the car isn't there, so it does add a bit of difficulty.
