Interesting that a community would bring in a place known as the “Stop and Rob”. Maybe it saves the time it takes for an area to become “The Bad Side of Town”?

That is a generic, pejorative term for convenience store used by members of several police departments that I am aware had officers that used it. Given a general propensity for trouble calls to such establishments the term may be understandable. I suppose I should have put it in quotes. Mea Culpa!

So in Charlotte, NC we don't have a "downtown" but rather a business district they call "Uptown Charlotte" but I would never think I could submit that for a "U" in the challenge. Maybe it's me but that to me does not qualify.
I had a friend who lived in Inkom, ID. I asked him if he lived in "Upper Inkom" or "Lower Inkom." He was not amused.

When I first moved to Montana, I noted all the maps had places named "... Gul" I wondered, WTF is a Gul?

OK then; April 6th and Team HSV is out & about on the Coddiwomple Prowl. 
Just picked up K's newest Beemer in MO (her 4th) in time for the mileage contest. {Many thanx to Jimmy & the MOA Marketplace!}
Bagged two Troys while we were in the center of the Heartland - Many more to come of course...
Tally Ho Y'all!
Ciao!

Nothing prohibits laminating or otherwise protecting your flag. They are made of Tyvek so the flag base should last a long time, but we don't know how well the printing will adhere with repeated folding. Ask me about that in November.

Biggest problem I have is figuring out how to keep it from flying away in the wind here in CO. I finished my Saddle Up And Ride Gold today, just in time to miss the snow later this week!

Do aviation sites have to have a marker or plaque, or just take a pic of your flag/bike in the location and provide proof in caption that an aviation crash happened here?
I’m having so much fun with this! Here is a pic of a town called Romeo, which qualifies for “Rome”. Also in this picture is Ross Snowden, a new member I signed up earlier in the day to MOA. This was 15 miles away four hours later. As I pulled over to take the pic he appeared out of nowhere to say hi again lol. What are the odds???

I encourage anyone with a question to first check the FAQ document at www.bmwmoa.org/coddiwomple. In fact, your question about aviation crash sites is answered there.
If you don't find the answer there, then send it to coddiwomple@bmwmoa.org where questions potentially of interest to others will be added to the FAQ. I will occasionally be able to answer questions here, but that is totally catch as catch can, and may or may not happen. To answer your aviation question, the photo must be of a plaque or memorial documenting a specific crash, OR of actual wreckage which clearly shows it is an aviation crash (i.e. fuselage or wing/tail sections, engines, etc.). In the latter case you may not be able to get your bike into the photo, so will need to be in the photo yourself along with your flag.
Also, good job on the new member! This is how we grow our family and have more fun!

YOU GO GIRL!
You and Marc are awesome!
Again, anyone doing this that wants a trip to a crash site, come to lower Alabama, I’ll take you to Jeremy Clark run/dive fire range.

Awwww thanks, Reece!
And thanks to Greg for the suggestion of FAQ. I missed that...had to search in the drop down menu. I rode 300 miles and hit 40 sites. This was my golden goose.
