maybe its me but i need a little more info on where this is.i have ideas but cant fit the clues together

I think it might be a DOC reserve. There were DOC workers in a 4x4 , (one of whom pushed the Strom out when I couldn't budge it). they were abusing someone who had measured the area for a walkway but not allowed for seasonal differences in water level.

I've taken the Z there, but BE wouldn't like it on the Bouly.

BR keeps texting me and asking questions...is he allowed to do that? Or should he be asking them here?

To answer his latest, NO Dear, it does not seem to be on street view. BUt it should be on Google earth. It's in the sticks a bit.

Seems a slightly more informative clue is needed after all. Theres a lot of doc reserves in the lower north island lol

**Ratti** · 21st December 2012, 13:26

ask me if it's salt or fresh water

**Bald Eagle** · 21st December 2012, 13:32

in normal play, if a tag pic has absolutely no clues to its whereabouts apart from the fact that it is on gravel and yes we can see some water, a few clues are included in the post.This allows all players to equally decipher the info.
The purpose of the game,especially when the weather is good, is to get the tag and move it,NOT to expect folks to spend the day searching on google for a gravel patch next to some water somewhere in the 200 sq miles that make up the game boundaries.

Ultimatly, Yes.
A percentage of players also enjoy the puzzle solving aspect of the pastime.

I'll consolidate the clues for you..how was I to know it would be so obscure? I go there, it's reasonable to assume other riders go there too.

DOC reserve
tidal
gravel access.

new clues

in the 'rapa
is a reserve to protect a rare bird.

YOu want an exact address?

more than enough clues ratti.its very hard to know wether a tag will be known or not.I was(and am) looking forward to finding this.
And even though we are all motorcyclists we all different.If i go for a ride quite often i wont stop at places like that.I have favourite "loops".The ride and the ride itself is the Tonic for me

an exact address is no more required than the sarcasm
I was simply saying if there is no re searchable information in the pic, a couple of worded clues will keep the game moving.
