If you can find any little signs talking about something that's going to happen in the future, that could be interesting too.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

I have decided, when I take a trip across the U.S., Alaska is worth the extra miles it takes to get there.

Missed the last challenge, but here is the photo anyway.


The wonder caves are abandoned, but they are still on the P.O.I. signs on the highway. Me and a few friends have been spelunking in them a few times.

Yes, you're good to go! What was that sign for, just a bit of street art?

Ghost Cactus
Dec 25, 2006
Excellent, thanks. Yeah, it's street art painted on the side of a building in Marfa, Texas, which is kind of an interesting place. I rode past the "Prada store" outside of Valentine today too, but I didn't stop. It's a mock-up of a store in the middle of the desert. Odd stuff.

I actually meant to get my face in there, as the look micromancer gives is a big part of the picture. When I went to retake is when it died, which in hindsight is probably a Good Thing.

Perfect size to hold just about anything, and they make great frame sliders. They do accumulate cruft, though (old bottles of motor oil, mostly empty cans of chain lube, tupperware containers, shop towels, etc. etc. etc.).

I need to replace the left one. It doesn't close all the way anymore after I dropped the bike on it at speed.

In an attempt to resurrect this thread I hopped on my bike, grabbed some lunch and then swung by a local playground to snap the picture and get things moving again.

Unfortunately, my cellphone decided it was more important to save the last of its battery in case I received annoying phone calls from people I'd rather not talk to and was unwilling to sacrifice the last of its juice for the greater good.

Give me a couple hours and I'll head back out and finish this so we can move on.

I think I'll finally have a chance to get on the bike for something other than commuting tomorrow so hopefully I can continue it!

Maybe I just live in a lovely area of town, but there are a number of them here. Especially if you count the ones where the letters have fallen off the sign.
