It seems no one else is capable of repairing a bike on a bridge (or at least unable to document the occasion). Can we get a new tag?

That accomplishes two things:
1. Keeps the flow going, which is important for keeping interest and getting more people to play.
2. Penalizes the person, such that they don't provide as difficult tags in the future.
Note: This isn't a comment about Jim from Boston per se and I think these issues will work themselves out over time.
First new picture sets the tag!

Yeah, let's institute a 48h (2-day rule), is that OK with everyone? If no one can solve the tag in 48h, then first person to post a new tag starts it again. Please, post an explanation that you are doing such.

Personally I access the site at work, and security/websense limits what I can see.

I would not otherwise be so specific to limit my tag. I was disappointed no one followed suit.
Rules are easy...
1. Find a SIMILAR tag and reproduce the photo (as best as possible). Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here.
2. Upon posting your new tag, the tagger is responsible for specifying what it is in the photo that must be reproduced. Be specific, but not so specific that no one else will be able to play because we couldn't find another pink school bus.
* Try to place the tags in interesting locations, objects or places that could probably be found in at least the majority of the continent.
3. Tag must be: a) Common amongst North America & b) not placed on a trail or seasonal road. Dirt is ok, but remember some of us are on street bikes…
7. The holder of the tag determines if the tag has been duplicated and acknowledges it by posting on the thread. (Surrendering the Tag)…

Sorry for the confusion. My intended new tag was “Fixing bike.” I parenthetically added “…(on a bridge)” to recap the old tag I played off. Furthermore that wooden structure was a very short bridge, almost more of an L-shaped platform over a wetland connecting a trail, so I wanted to clarify its identity.
I would not otherwise be so specific to limit my tag. I was disappointed no one followed suit.
That photo was on the Sixth Annual Bikeforum Fifty-Plus Forum Ride, in Metropolitan Boston, taken in the Minuteman Historical National Park. Unlike the Minutemen, I surrender.

As far as the Minutemen not surrendering, I am quite thankful am I grew up (through BS/BS/BS) in Maine and without their dedication, I would have had a different upbringing.
On with the "Bike on Gravel" tag!!!!!!!!

As suggested above, I recommend that we post all photos to the BikeForums site, such that they can be accessible to all participants. I apologise ahead of time for any issues that this causes with downloading and re-uploading to BF or simply supplying the URL, however, it would allow the activity to be as inclusive as possible.

New Tag: Bike under tree(s)

great game so far!
i was on my way here ... but it seems that the game is moving too fast! we have students living in there Harry Potter style, for what it's worth.
