The banner has been officially passed to Ranger SVT. It was great meeting him and hoosier1104. Sorry DG, SVT has the pics of the handoff.

Well, just got back to the house. 5 member siggies, 15.5 hours, 742.5 miles logged this trip. Got plenty of pics, but you'll have to wait til the am. Another hour and a half from now and I'd have been up for a full 24 hours...

127 miles of the return trip I listened to the song of my people, catless + aftermarket cat back = sexy exhaust note. I turned a 3 hr 45 min trip and turned it into a 3 hr 15 min trip. Since I got there before everyone else I was able to increase my photography portfolio.

Sorry its taken me a day to get them up, but I got busy yesterday from the time I rolled out of bed. Here is the trip, for you pic-happy people :D

Here's the start...



Rolling out on hwy 79, rain..



Rolling into Illinois...



And finally rolling into Missouri/STL...





Justin showing us the RX8...



Acole86, RangerSVT, and Hoosier1104. Brandizzle is not pictured, but is taking the picture. MPRanger, sweet85 and rangeron33s couldn't make it...



Justin (hoosier1104) signing the banner...



Brandi (brandizzle) signing the banner...



RangerSVT signing the banner...



Left STL headed for Evansville, IN to meet up with a few more members (97trailrigDD, slo-vo86, disciplerocks, and black-splash). However, when I got to Dustin's (disciplerocks), Gregg(97trailrigDD) went wheelin, Jon(slo-vo86) had to work, black-splash had a family event, so it was just me, Dustin, and Brandi...



Dustin (disciplerocks) signing the banner....



From there its off to Madisonville, KY to meet up with John(railman). Here is me (RangerSVT) and John's (railman) truck....



Wait, Where's John? Actually, he had a family emergency and left out of state late last night. So, at least his truck was part of the banner....kind of.
From there its off to Murfreesboro TN, just outside Nashville to meet up with Allen (B2Addict). By this time, its about 9pm, so the pics got a little dark in the background...



Allen (B2Addict) signing the banner...



By this time I headed back home to Dover, TN. I wanted to get at least one more member to sign it today, but time ran short. Here's my mileage for today...



And since NO ONE EVER looks on the back of the banner, Jim left us a little note that I thought I should share...



So there it is. After talking with Ben (4.0B2), He is unavailable to meet up the next day (sunday) to get it rolling down towards DoorGunner, he is available next sunday to meet up, so that is the planned day. I'll roll out sunday morning, meet up with Chad (copperhead85) for another siggy, then head out to memphis area to meet up with Ben. At that time, I may either do a handoff or run it down some to meet up with DG. I will soon have to run down to New Orleans to attend a funeral as I've just found out last week my aunt has stage 4 breast cancer that has spread throughout her body. She has only weeks left with us. So there's a possibility I might be meeting DG on my old stomping grounds, as New Orleans is where I'm from.
There you have it members. It currently resides in my possession til next weekend. I may or may not meet up with John(railman) for him to sign it this week...
