TRS Banner Across North America 2012 - Alaska to Key West Florida (OFFICIAL)


Heck I'd meet ya in Oklahoma somewhere if that's what it takes!

That'd be about a 14 round trip drive for me. Sounds reasonable, actually. :icon_thumby:

Keep this plan on the backburner...let's see if they'll get it out of Canada, first! Eh...

:icon_rofl:

About the same for me as well. Drove to Austin a couple years ago, and it was about 13 hours one way with stops.
 
Yep.....the next challenge is to get it down to weezl//other members in his area......

then across the border/across the central U.S./back into eastern Canada so that the rest of the Canada crew can pass it around for sig's--since one of the main objectives was to get our Up-North members the opportunity to sign it/then back down to the U.S for the "trip' to Florida....

So............back to the Whitehorse/weezl situation......(if only i lived a couple 1,000 miles closer to their area!)

I didn't see if there was a slush/gas fund set up. I got C$50.00 via paypal to start one to help get things moving.

$50......that's great....We've been talking about an Official Slush Fund.....if everybody (members who can't drive or have short routes) would contribute something/anything--that would make them part of the Mission...it would help out on the long stretches like some of the Alaska/Canadians have paid for already...kinda like a Percentage rebate....

maybe contributors could have their names placed on the Banner at the end of the trip by Jim O....providing he likes the whole idea....
 
If you would be so kind as to run it by Jim and then [finger crossed] set up a page I'd be happy to be the first to kick in some moola. I'm terrible at anything involving money and computers so that's why I'm hoping you [DG] or anyone but me will be able to do the legwork.
Though if I have to I can learn.
Thanks,

Richard
 
I'm in. I'll push some dough into the "Banner Trust Fund." - expecially after the amount of money CRB had to spend. I think the only one who should administer it though is Jim. Maybe make it equitable - you have to drive at least xxx miles and the pot gets split proportionally between those.

Pete - Hell yeah. I just hope it gets down here when it isn't 100+ (37.7 C for you Canuks) around here. That way I'd drive my Ranger!
 
Count me in DG, pm me when its up and running :icon_thumby:

love this idea! could even go as far as banners on the profile "TRS banner carrier" for people who have actually transported it, and "TRS banner supporter" for people who donated over x amount of money (just to keep the riff raff from qualifying for donating $0.50) though we already have a LOT of banners available, and i've seen a few people with 5-6 of them

oh come on... we get that temperature up here, but the difference, we do it with 80+% humidity!

it's really all up to Jim O. if he likes the idea.......(if/when/how/who/dispersal)
 
I see dispersal being a case to case basis... The one person who is a struggling student who does a 70mile round trip ride through where no one else can really connect, should be more entitled to a little cash for it, than someone who decides to be a martyr and drives 300 miles and stops by 10 "willing to transport" members...

I think popular vote between 3-4 elected people who are trusted with making decisions...

I could devise a plan as to how a $ figure would be best determined (per case) but its more than I need to type right now...


Sent from somewhere naughty!
 
no.....no......weezl....with all due repect......
your high intellect is in overdrive....
no entitlements......
no buying someone a set of good tires to drive the route...
no re-imbursements for a leaky blow-up-doll.....
we don't want the U.S. Congress involved in this....
keep it simple--like a pimple....

only for the folks who spend the big bucks/drive the long distances

;missingteeth;
 
Just got back from 5000K roadtrip to Manitoba.

Still up for Dease Lake, but I'd need some notice to arrange time off. I'm on 24 hr call when I'm working. I have territory from Prince Rupert to Endako in BC and I make Prince George frequently. Would be pretty cool to see this thing off to Haida Gwaii on the ferry, but would need someone to pick it up in Prince Rupert. MountainMike and Gwaii, check your PM's
 
Dease Lake could definitely work. Pretty much right down the middle. I have to work this next weekend meaning it would at least be the weekend after that before I can go anyways. Plus I think Ryan is out for training next week too if he would be in. I would like to get this this carrying on to the next member.

It's already seen 1500km by my hands. I'd like to through the extra 700 to get it to the next member:D Plus the trip back, this thing is moving far to see so few.
