Well, the reason I chose Alaska first was because I knew they would get it in the spring, and it would have spring and early-mid summer to get through Alaska and Canada. As the year passes, it will be moving towards a warmer climate and hopefully keep moving. If it starts in Florida, it will likely get stuck/stranded in Canada trying to get to Alaska due to winter.

Not sure about the timeline you guys have in mind, but I will be driving Smithers to Vancouver BC on May 26/27. I could go as far as Prince Rupert before that, if there is someone in Alaska who could ferry it down to there.

hot damn that would work perfectly, but... IT MUST COME TO ALBERTA BEFORE THE LOWER 48! we have 4.5 members here in calgary, plus red deer, plus edmonton! and we can get it moved between these cities in a matter of a couple days

maybe start it at gwaii's place, if he makes it off of that sunken japanese ship, or isn't harmed by the radioactive bottles he found

I wonder how well it would go over if we all showed up to shake night with the banner?
