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


Right on DG, this is a highlight of the journey to see you get your paws on the banner:yahoo:. It's much appreciated how much you've put into this from the start, coordinating the plan and lighting fires under people butts. Great job to everyone else too, talk about a huge team effort.:icon_thumby:



Sometimes you just gotta put yer foot down!

This Week-End!!!
 
Looks like it's this weekend...
 
Yeeeeee-epppp! This Saturday the Texans get Da' Banner!
Unless God has other plans ?


AgPete is going to P.M. me today and confirm the time that we meet in Orange, Texas (supposed to be bad weather :icon_bounceblue: )........

At least we don't have to fly over any mountains or dodge any grizzlys!! (I forgot which member made that quote)

I guess my P.M.er has PTSD too!


Let's meet at Sonic at 11 A.M.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Done! See you in 12 hours!

FYI guys, if it can't make it over from north Tx Oklahoma Arkansas, I can grab it from Dallas and run it back through LA.
 











Safe travels back home, DG & grandson. It was awesome meeting y'all.

Thanks for the great talk/company, DG!

A plan has been made for a hand off today.

I'm meeting Beau in at 12:45, Slack in Brenham at 2:30, and Pony closer to 4:00 in Luling.

If anyone wants to join up or if you're asking the way, PM me.
