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

[MountainMike]

Well I'll have a few pics to go up soon. I was going through my camera and it looks like I was too busy hanging out to take lots of pictures. I'll put them up tomorrow.

For what it's worth Ryan, both rentals have been "thoroughly evaluated"

So... Who's next?

So... Who's next?

Yeah? Who's stepping up to meet & take the Banner on the next leg of the trip??????????????

(I'm still willing to make a donation to help out with the fuel expenses for the Alaska trip...if Jim O. sets up a way to collect/disperse the funds on a percentage basis....like anything over $150 in fuel that an individual spent would recieve a certain % back...depending on how much was collected in the fund)

So here are the pics.

For our trip we had a decently fresh 2011 Ford Edge. Which did fantastic on the trip through rain, mud, tire-eating potholes and everything else.

To start the trip we listened to the most road-trip of road-trip songs. And yes, that is the Bluetooth name of my phone.

I brought my oil cap with me, so we had a bit of Ranger-ness with us.

Our Alaskan hosts we quite great, LIMA lit up a little cooker to enjoy. You can't be out in the north without a fire.

We kept on getting to know each other until late into the night. Note Ben (thatbluecar) being quite the 'champion' in the background.

Chris getting some life lessons from LIMA.

After our trip to Delta we headed up a was to see the largest suspended crossing of the pipeline. Jeff's out checking things out a little bit.

We got back in and hung out on the tarmac for a bit. A little meeting of our two transportation methods.

And the banner is here in Whitehorse waiting for whoever is ready.

you goofs forgot all that smoked salmon and caribou hunter sticks I brought you too...

Yeah, I'm more than just a little unimpressed with that Those hunter sticks were awesome.

[doorgunner]

i'm ready! bring it to me in calgary!

Actually....there's that little matter of "half-a-universe" between you and Whitehorse.....

 

[--weezl--]

Yeah.... I know...


Sent from somewhere naughty!

 

[crbnunit]

You could meet them half way...?

 

[doorgunner]

You could meet them half way...?

another "plus" would be that there is a highway.....

 

[crbnunit]

Yea, or as South Park referes to it; "The Road". Say hi to Terrance and Phillip for me!

 

[doorgunner]

All Right.......let's see some people lining up/truck-pooling/whatever it takes to meet for a Banner hand-off....

in other words...gang up/ride together/split the fuel bill.......

^^^ I could be up for that. I'm in red deer and could drive north a ways. I don't think my beater is up for the whole trip though.

[--weezl--]

yeah, red deer... that's like halfway between calgary and whitehorse/yellowknife/wherever MM is

 

[MountainMike]

The closer to me the better That last blast hit pretty hard in the old wallet.

As long as we can get a plan in place I'm golden. Pretty free. I'm gonna take the banner touring around this weekend and get some pictures of it in some hotspots.

Anyhaus carry on.
