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


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.

Thinks this is an opps but there you have it Alaska ground and the banner leanin on a $2000 + Akbushwheel... note Jeffs sick hub cover.

Reckon Jeff was scopin the other folks planes. The fella that owns that 170 came over to say hello and drool on Jeff's Maule, if it was winter we would have got a free de-icing.

Cruising up the Knik river valley. Like many here the bed itself can be miles wide with water ribbons ever changing. ( note how Jeff has SPOT with a clear sky view):icon_thumby:

After hiking over the moraine boulders we get to ancient ice, water and rock. Jeff let me take the easier one cause we had the cam set on a boulder and I had to run for it in 10 sec.

Ok this is probably my favorite pic timeline wise. That water that the banner is in fell upon the earth so many eons ago as rain and snow, when Wholly Mammoths roamed this part of the continent and beyond. All the mountains you guys see in the pics and video at one time were under miles of ice and snow. Food for thought Padwans.

Snagged some ice so it touched Banner...
