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

[Ak907Girl]

Sorry for the wait, been pretty busy, Passed Nick on the way, signed, pictures.... I was getting lots of pictures of the highway for you guys and love tapped the gaurd rail. lovely little scratch down the passanger side of the truck, I guess it's officailly mine now.

Nick and the banner.

(I'm uploading pictures and posting at the same time.....)

Stayed like that the whole 357 miles of open highway. Except when passing slow MOFOS!! and tour busses. ugh... tourists can't drive.

The Nenanna bridge going over the Tanana river (one of the larger more well known rivers)

The drive between Fairbanks and Anchorage is about 357 miles and can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours depending on traffic, construction, weather, and how fast you drive. Gas prices went from 4.25 in downtown anchorage to 4.35 in Talkeetna, 4.60 in Healy, 4.33 in Goldstream, 4.35 in Fairbanks.

The river down below.

Only a little bit of rain here and there, it was down pouring everywhere except the highway.
My windsheild was so covered in bugs I had to stop just to scrub them off.

Oh and the other two guys in Fairbanks never called me or anything. My boyfriend and I were going back and forth between Fairbanks and North Pole a lot and just chillin around town.

Nice pics!
I hope I can make it up there someday when your government isn't so picky and paranoid.

Going over by boat to let Gwaii sign it is fine.

It would be great if everyone was transporting it by a RBV (Ranger, Bronco II, Explorer), but it doesn't have to be. I don't want a member to not be involved because their vehicle is down, or it's just a trail rig.

i really wish I could take it in the Ranger, but the sad reality is there is no way it would be affordable to do. But at this rate I've got a genius idea to involve a little RBV-ness into the Jetta

Great pics and great job Caitlyn. New developments on getting it to the border so some calls and logistics and we may be good to go. Stand by folks, aint over till someone loses a couple arms and/or legs and maby an eye or so. =)

Tried to PM ya, but you are full. Looks like I was heading South when the banner was heading North. Drop me a PM if/when the banner gets back to Anchorage and I will come sign it. Would be nice to finally meet a local TRS member too.

Sorry man lotta traffic in the inbox, like an ol hoor lol. You will sign it for sure, I will see to it. Remember the fuse will be burning and we have our biggest mission with the Canadian hand-off...

 

[redneck_rainey]

Yeah to Canada!!!! Woot!


Kirk, you better not be driving a pt loser!

I just got home from Vancouver bc, the gas price there was 148.9 cents per liter, which works out to 5.62$ per gallon here it is about 113.9 c/l which is around 4.31 a gallon

Yeah, here's the kicker, the gas you burn, about 60% of it (average) comes from Canada, our gas we buy back from you... Because of the NAFTA, we can't refine our own oil, and have to ship it to you...

Yeah same with alaska, we have the oil but all the money we make goes to the government and we have to ask for it back... Most expensive gas is in the places that have the oil.
