I've gotten tired of sending these out a few at a time so I've consolidated all my spots into one list.
My apologies for resorting to GPS coordinates -- I originally had pin drops from Google Maps, but discovered that I can no longer post them here. You'll have to copy and paste the coordinates into your favorite mapping app.
Feel free to add yours.
Unless otherwise noted, all of the locations are tailgate spots.
Now GO OUT AND GET SOME!!!
