TRS Banner Trek 2012 - Snow Shoes to Bikini's (Alaska to Florida) - Page 9

**alwaysFlOoReD** · 02-24-2012, 10:08 AM

When someone starts figuring out a route, I'm in Red Deer. I know the Calgary/Edmonton corridor has lots of peeps. I volunteer to run it south [Lethbridge?], then east or west depending on member turnout. Or whatever directions needed. I'm currently on EI so have the time to over-night if necessary. Would be great to do some mild wheeling too.

If the banner ends up coming through Ohio I would be honored to help move it along, it's been awhile since my Ranger has been on a good roadtrip.

CHKNFKR has Charleston IL already covered, and I do travel to Paris IL often, so I could help out around there if needed. Would love to sign this (although my signature on a vinyl human may require some delicate explaining to wifey, if that is what we are transporting

)!

I ordered the blank banner, but I'm running in to a minor problem...

I had to replace my vinyl cutter last year, and I can't use the old files on the new cutter. That means I either need the TRS logo converted to a vector image that I can pull apart to cut the vinyl in the different colors, or better software to scan it in to the cutting software.

The software that came with my cutter doesn't have a feature to scan images and vectorize them. I was going to buy a software upgrade, but it's like $500. I found (2) possible software solutions that are under $200, I'm just trying to figure out which one is going to work best for me. I want to get this sent out by mid march.

I have larger files of the TRS logo. If anyone knows how to convert it to a vector so I can cut the blue, black and red, and then piece it together, please send me a PM.

Road trip time!

Sounds like this may be going via Whitehorse. I'm willing to split the distance to Smithers, say Dease Lake? I can also make sure it spends some time in Terrace before heading east to Prince George. I could carry it a little farther east if needed, or maybe south towards Kamloops? Keep me in mind when the route is planned,
