alright guys, so just to keep you guys updated, i have finally contacted the person with the banner (frankeinstein95). Ive been very busy this week as im sure we all have, and i finally got a chance to get back on here. He sent me a private message with his contact info so i will be contacting him hopefully this weekend. I want to make it as big of a deal as i can and i have about 6 rangers which want to do a small meet down here in florida. I will get something organized and i will be in touch!:icon_thumby::beer:

Hell if I'd known it was going to be like this I would have kept the banner and taken it to KW myself. I've had a couple of good opportunities to make the trip that I didn't know would exist when I handed it off in April. At least then the person you would be fussing at would be active on the site reading and responding.

Lucasd12 was the last person in touch with Frankenstein95. Maybe you can get some information from him?

Not that you haven't tried, but I just sent both FL people a PM to try to contact you about getting the thing moved.

Maybe we can get Jim or an moderator/administrator to contact those two members through Email since they aren't coming on site? I'd do it myself, but they aren't visible.

That would be frankenstein95 and/or lucasd12

:yahoo:


take it??....nah...

i want to ride down there with em if possible and meet n greet and party.

get a pic at the s.m.p. and head er north...



i have had 7-8 work projects get cancelled or bumped consistently down here till this one finally went, so i sure as hell cant be mad about the flag getting stalled....its the nature of these sorts of adventures....but being able to locate it is a priority if your the one in possession of such a thing. i dont constantly check my mails as i still have a captain cave pig phone....and i am often where it dont work anyway.....or have internet access. so i am not one to be upset about such things.....i am just a cave pig...

reardless...
i sent some e mails deals out....its possible someone could have tried to pm me, but i was full....i cleared out a bit so i have room for em....313 402 5966, whomever has it please call. i wont bite. i just want to get it going and some pictures and signatures and shit...


and shit...:D

Well, this is the first time the banner is actually in LIMBO...that kinda sucks and I certainly am hoping that the person who has it is merely extremely busy and waiting for a dull moment to hop back into the fray...

Got the makings of a great story in this adventure...just need someone with a bit of creativity and more time on their hands than...oh, wait, that sounds like me...but I'm too busy with reviving my Ranger right now...maybe my next project...but don't be surprised if my story turns out something like Smokey and the Bandit...more like...

Smoking the Banner Bandit...

Frankenstein95 replied to my PM the other day. He's still got the banner, apparently the last guy that offered bailed on him. Said he has contacted Bobby. Hopefully they will be able to get it worked out and the banner moves.

AHHHHHHH! come on! we should do a spread sheet on average speed traveled with the banner. Basically take the distance you transport it, and divide that by length of time you have had it, and see what the most and least number of miles per day are

:yahoo:

This is really a tribute to you Canada and Alaska members.....You did all the hard work!

Just don't let it put a damper on your great efforts because of us "southerners" dragging our *****!

Maybe it will get to Key West before the next hurricane gets there!!!!!!


:yahoo:
hell yeah we did, us northerners know how to move, snow, ice, mountains, grizzly bears? yeah they don't stop us! lol

p.s. don't be alarmed, i'll probably disappear for another few months. I was reminded of this site as my $10 annual donation came through last week

So that's when? November full moon?

Does it have to be frankenberry, can we mix in some count chocula or boo berry? It might be difficult to get that much frankenberry. If you'll take any cereal marshmallow I know we can make it. http://www.cerealmarshmallows.com/default.aspx
