PA: Tag

Went out and got our covered bridge merit badges today. The twin bridges are very cool and the painted picnic tables are a nice touch.

Plus we visited a few more for good measure.

Old tag:
This is as close as I could get a bike to the entrance of the visitor center in Jim Thorpe/Mauch Chunk. There was a vendor's booth selling "Lobster Tail Pastries" in the spot where Will's bike was parked in the photo above. I did not try the pastry.

The new drop:
Is in a city in Northumberland County surrounded by Coal Township at the western edge of the Anthracite Coal Region in central Pennsylvania's Susquehanna River Valley. It was named after a Saponi Indian village, Schahamokink. If you need an additional hint: 40°47'31.0"N 76°33'11.5"W

Do you mean the one in this post? This is a civilian 1300 with a Shad 50 top boxvwith matching top plate:

My 1300P has a Shad 58X with the top plate painted white:

I originally ordered the white top plate with the box, but they forgot to include it with the order so I got it refunded and plast-dipped the one that came with it.

If you're looking for one for a police bike (white/black) @RichKat found a good one on Amazon for, like, 89 bucks:
