Photo Association Game

[cruisinTX]

One guy with his back to the camera :yikes: wonder why?

 

[ARtraveler]

Is it for wind protection, wind is often channelled down rivers etc so I suppose you could need more cover there?

Or is it that one town did it and then other neighbouring ones followed, a sort of civic "keeping up with the joneses"?

I was thinking just snow or rain protection didn't make sense because why do the bridge but not the road​

Older technology for sure. Mostly over small streams and not very long. Been over a couple when I lived close to Ohio (as in IN). Pretty deserted roads and not much actual traffic to worry about.

Not that it is a big deal or has any bearing on life, just thought a little refresher of the original poster's rules (with enhancements) might help keep this thread moving as intended. After all, it's easy to lose direction after 8 pages.

Now to try out something a bit different.

One person posts a photo,

then another person posts a photo based on a association they see with the first...

your post should be in response to the post directly above yours and contain a Spyder, motorbike or associated gear.

Put a couple of words at the top to make the association clear (particularly if its something small like a sticker) .

Obviously just having an association of 'Spyder' is cheating​

I did not know there were specific "rules" we had to follow. The OP has not mentioned this...:dontknow:

Bottom line--we are getting a lot of action and seeing some great pictures from all over.

Back to the program--I hope...:bowdown:

Everything I re-posted was copied from the first post of the thread. I just cleaned it up a little and enhanced it with some bolding of key elements. It's no big deal, but keeping with the original thought/plan seems to be appropriate out of respect for the OP's original intent.

Some examples below, though I could also had for example "Blue t-shirt draped out of tank bag" for all three.

…and next?

Spyders with one 2-wheeler (That's Joe at his bike near the sign)

Ahhh...Hyder AK--the location that pops up where you can visit AK, but cannot get to any other AK location without more miles and miles of Canada. This is a location for a lot of "AK" destination rides--but not much more than touching your toes in the state.

A map check will verify what I have said.


You folks did much more than the average person does though. I think you can honestly say you did it all. :bowdown::bowdown:

I think the rules are loose!:roflblack:

Hijacking the thread slightly have to ask - why did they build a covered bridge rather than just an ordinary one? I'm guessing they are relatively common in the US judging by these photos but not something I've ever come across.

Older technology for sure. Mostly over small streams and not very long. Been over a couple when I lived close to Ohio (as in IN). Pretty deserted roads and not much actual traffic to worry about.

It's my understanding that the bridges were covered to protect the road-bed. Back when the bridges were built by manual labor in snow country, and they were built entirely of wood. It helped keep the wooden bridge road from rotting so soon.

A bunch of Spyders in front of the sign for the very first restaurant ever featured on Diners Drive-ins and Dives!

Speaking of breaking the rules!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

at a state line marker, but no Spyder. :yikes:

:lecturef_smilie: Think a spyder in pic is bare minimum & harder to find
(not on state line) can anyone associate spyder with a TANK?

Looks like some reading comprehension skills need to be honed here.

Looks like some reading comprehension skills need to be honed here. Reread these rules by the OP and tell me where I broke them smart guy. My picture was of a guy taking a picture just like in the previous picture (the association) and it contained a motorbike.

Non of those things are obvious. Obviously you can't take a joke. You are the only one in the Thread Police uniform. Suggestion: Chill out and try to enjoy life a little more!:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

That's the whole point of the association is to be observant enough to find the things that are not obvious and match something in your own photos with it. Otherwise it's just a bunch of meaningless pictures with no connection. I guess that concept is beyond some peoples' ability to comprehend.

OH! a suggestion for you, learn to comprehend what you read. Most adults have that ability; in fact most 5th graders have that ability.

NOT a DDD restaurant. The Spyders are parked across the street. Use your imagination a bit. (2013)



I brought a dozen plus Spyders here in 2015--we were all over the place then. Sadly, we went there a couple weeks ago--and the place is now CLOSED as well as the saloon next door.

Spyders in front of a Cafe- Dinner. I am having fun with this game but it's disappointing that a number of people try hijacking or simply cant seem to get the OP gist of the game. If you want to start your own tangent start another post and play your own game but out of respect for the OP try to control yourself.

I see your "seaview" and raise you a sea view

 

[easysuper]

I'll meet that view and raise with a historical marker.
