2017 Grand Tour Questions

Where were the flags printed in the past? That seems to make the most sense for me.

[Sleddog]

We had them printed at the same place that we bought the t-shirts from.

That really doesn't help. :-)

I am thinking a Tattoo might be in order since I am Rider #1

A question about the General Locations, 7 Diner or Drive-In:
Is this category limited to drive-in restaurants or can drive-in movie theaters be used also?

Just FYI, I printed up a number of different size number tags last year. After playing with them I found myself using the laminated id/luggage tag the most.

[xander84]

As long as the sign/name of the location includes the words "drive-in", you're good, movie theaters are fine.

Sorry, it was meant to imply that they could be printed at any t-shirt shop. Setting up & printing one flag wouldn't hardly be worth it.

I printed a 5" x 7" flag & used clear packing tape to laminate it.

Great idea Sleddog. I use the handheld, luggage tag sized one as well. Maybe going to stick some on my plastic parts this year with clear tape, maybe cover some of the scratches.

Edited post because I was doing too many things at once this morning when I typed my post in gibberish.

I checked around KC and shop was willing to do it for one flag.

I like the idea of luggage tag. Small and easy to carry. I also printed a couple on waterproof paper.

Couple of mine...you might recognize one of these

Just want to make sure I am reading the rule regarding state/national parks correctly. Within each state you can get one state and one national park OR two state parks OR two national parks. Correct?

You are exactly correct, couldn't have said it better myself.

Question about Numeral 7 in the general locations.

"Diner or Drive-In - must have Diner or Drive-In in the name."

I know of a place with the name 'Wayne's Drive-in' but the sign just says 'Wayne's' does it count?

[xander84]

I think I know the place of which you speak and it was precisely the type of place I would hope people would find.

Could you include a picture with your placard of a menu or merchandise, that shows it's called "Wayne's Drive-In"?

Oh, good idea.

I hate waiting. I'm on my bike in central Missouri and been by everything but a national park.

And you will wait a very long time. There are no National Parks in Missouri

Started my quest to find items and got 7 of the 8 general items this afternoon in KS. Fun time.

[Powershouse]

I collected two national parks, a school, a motorcycle shop, a fire department, a dinosaur and a diner. Seven items. I was all set to make a drive for a train station but I read the instructions and noticed the general items are limited to seven per state. So if I have this right, if you get two parks then you have to leave one of the other bonuses out.

[xander84]

You are able to get each of the 7 general locations for a total of eight per state, if you get two parks.
So you would be able to still get a train station.
