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

[MountainMike]

Lima and I flew the banner in to some backcountry strips today. Cool pics and videos to follow soon. I have one more sig to get here and another possible but the banner is ready for it's next leg to begin. Mike, let me know when you can make the drive and we'll start planning to meet up.

Sorry bout the late response gents but I've already got a paddle in the water for a Canada Day weekend departure. Hate to have it sit for another couple weeks but that allows the best allotted drive time.

Understand that for sure Mike. We will make sure you are well fed, beered and flown. This will be an epic hand-off, Jeff and I look foreward to hosting your visit to Alaska, USA.

Wish you could meet more of our AK members though

Yes, but it's really only 3 weeks, and a half I guess. The thing I'm up against is with 9 hours drive time, and what basically works out to nothing between there and here it's the only way to make the trip for me. With work and other appointments it's the soonest chance I have.

If everybody can make it work it's the best. I got the time, the car and the plan to meet you guys.

Just going to throw it out there, but if a case of coors banquet were to attach its self to the banner, in Alaska, and get transported to Calgary.... I wouldn't be too upset..

Only American beer worth drinking IMO


Sent from somewhere naughty!

What's a month? Canucks have been waiting for over a year already. The banner will move when it can.

Few understand the distances better than we do Mike. We'll get it done. We need to chat on the phone before you take off just to hammer out the details. Just pray the weather allows us to fly that weekend!

 

[MountainMike]

So the highway is all washed away between Haines Junction and Destruction Bay and has been closed. Here's hoping the weather improves and the time we got gives some reconstruction time.

 

[MountainMike]

Also, just so some of you get how crazy this is... There have been a number of other washouts also and there's currently no way in or out via road from Whitehorse.

 

[doorgunner]

man.....washouts! I just saw a t.v. program featuring White Horse with the plane-on-a-pole...beautiful country!

 

[crbnunit]

Dang! I didn't realize you guys were flooding! Wish I was set up to fly it into Whitehorse but with no Transponder and no pasport... Why in the HELL do we need a passport to get into and out of Canada? Really? And it is the freaking US government that made it necessary! WTF? Europe is wide open, no border stations, no more Iron Curtain, nada. Why are we moving backward?
