If I still lived in WI I could run over to Jefferson and get a pic there.  But I haven't got a clue where a drive-in theater is here in Denver.    ???

No worries, doesn't need to be an active one, could be an old,run down,out of business, ex drive in out in the desert somewhere. It's all good. There's one near me that's used as a market these days and another a couple hours away that used to open once a year for the Mad Max rally, hosted by the Zed Club. Good times...

I'm surprised at how slow phototag has been this summer.  There have been some tricky tags called out lately.    :)

I was all set to win the Drive In Theater picture this morning.

I knew where a big 6 screen theater was, over on the Indian Reservation East of Tempe.  It was built back in the late '60's.

With camera in the saddle bags, I took off for the "ride to fame" for winning this contest in mind. :)

When I got there I saw the biggest somewhat lumpy field of brush and weeds I've seen in a long time.  Even the projector/snack bars were torn down and the huge signs that used to show the names of the films they were showing at the entrances were gone.

After I got home I went to my telephone book and looked up "Drive In Theater".
Amazingly, they only show one, way over on the West side of town.  :(

This does not bode well for the future.
I foresee a large reduction in the population growth of our nation.

With no Drive In theaters to go to and little cars with virtually no back seat to speak of, the birth rate is bound to plummet.  :-\

Being an old fart, as I am, I'm wondering what the adolescents are doing without a good old fashioned Drive In to go to?

Got it finally. It was 45F when I rode out there.



Next tag:  haunted house (I know NA centric) or pumpkin field as it's just getting harder for some further north.

How sad that we went through the four best riding months (in my neck of the woods, anyway  ;) ) without a chance of me being able to post a pic, and now that it's time to put the bike away, we get a tag I could actually accomplish!

By the way, how do we confirm that a house in a pic is haunted?

There must be a ghost or zombie looking out of a window. Or maybe just someone hanging in a tree....  ;D

Guess we'll just have to believe you :)

Sorry Mazza and others, I know it's very US cultural centric. Let's see what folks do for a bit. If nothing, I'll change the tag.

Are you suggesting that there's no haunted houses outside the US?

I just may tag this one today!  There are 6 different "haunted houses" in Denver this time of year.  OR!  Or, I can ride about 90 minutes into the mountains on old mining roads where I know there is a real life ghost town that used to be a mining community.......




Anyone want to dare me?!   ;D
