So as you know, the TRS Banner Across America is at a close. In 14-months it went from the Atlantic Ocean, to the Gulf of Mexico, and ended at the Pacific Ocean.

For 2012, I was thinking of a different challenge, but not sure if we have enough members in the right spots to pull it off.

I was thinking of going from the furthest place north in the US (Alaska) to the furthest place south in the US (Key West Florida). I'd like to start at the furthest point north in Alaska as possible, and then end in Key West Florida.

I don't care which path it takes. I don't care if it goes all the way across Canada. I just care that it completes the journey. That meens you can't send it a direction unless you know there are people willing to participate so it doesn't get stuck anywhere.

I would have to make a new banner and figure out who to send it to in the spring to get started.

It would be nice to try and pull this off in 12-months or less.

This is a feeler thread to see if and who would be interested.

I'm all in.

If we can have this banner in my hands by early May I can move it most of the way down the east coast. I'll be driving to Nashville for my sister's graduation then.

Count the Turkey Bay Crew in....

Disciplerocks in Evansville, IN
Skipper in Henderson, KY
railman in Madisonville, KY
RangerSVT in Indian Mound, TN
Copperhead85 in Camden, TN
B2Addict in Murfreesboro, TN

I'm sure these members would be more than happy to get in on this, and all these members should be able to move it within a week's time through all of them. I'm sure there are a few more members that would join in along the way that I might have missed, including Josh40601.....
