    I hope it stays too. At least until Monday when I will pass it the next time.

    I was at the local library today and the "tag" was just a couple of blocks away. This tile mural has been attracting a lot of attention.
    Amazing work of art.


    Encinitas Blvd and just several feet from PCH.
    A piece of guerrilla art dubbed the "Surfing Madonna" is drawing public attention and causing political consternation in the northern San Diego County suburb of Encinitas.

    You don't have to pay mooring fees if you park your bike here for a picture.

    I know exactly where this is, but I don't get up there very often.

    I used to sail quite a bit, even owned a sloop in LA at one point.

    I figured out the location but not sure if I'll be able to go and hunt for it this weekend. Anybody else want to take a shot at it?

    Nicely done on editing the top part of the location. I didn't even realize it was scratched off...

    I'm stumped. Good tag. Someone will eventually find it. My workload is much higher this week. So I'll let others try to find this.:face-angel:

    The roses looked great!

    I originally took a picture of the main building then rode around to use the bathroom. I go to that park regularly but had never looked in the window and seen the old Twin Inns chicken.

    I loved "My neighbor Totoro" though it is not my favorite Miyazaki movie.

    I'll hit the spot on my ride home now. Maybe I'll score.

    I eat lunch there most days of the week. One of the waitresses is a commuting cyclist.

    It's very good food. If you are a vegan, they have excellent tofu dishes.

    Are you not supposed to reveal the found tag's location until you post another?
    I'm confused.

    I meant the location of the previous tag. In this case it was East Village Asian Diner in Downtown Encinitas, on 101.

    Here is the new one. Go get it.

    Where is this "green" building and what can you learn inside?

    I rode past it and looked for it this morning and still missed it.

    What made it worse was that I was hungry and looking for someplace to eat lunch.
