TRS Banner Across North America!

[--weezl--]

i MIGHT be back in vancouver around the 13th of august, if anyone wants it to come into canada... though these plans aren't set in stone, just a possible currently... it would be a matter of money and time...

Well im looking to head out friday night... Its kind of a waste of time (and a trip to long beach) to make it happen in one day. I like to go down a hang around for a bit. Long beach is totally worth the price of a hotel/motel for one night, and thats what I plan on doing for friday night.

I guess I could be an asshole of some sorts, but I dont need all the pre-meet mumbo jumbo... Im down for heading out and making an event at the beach, not the whole damn trip down there, especially when heading to longview is out of the way for us that live up north. I head out the 101, not only is that the scenic route, but it cuts some time off the trip from where I am at...

I guess I dont have to be a part of it, but I just dont see the point of it... is it really necessary to be a bunch of cheerleaders for a bunch of trucks that nobody cares about but ourselves??

Sorry to be the curmudgeon, I understand the excitement, but is it really that necessary?

Weezl, if you are going to be in town that weekend, that would work for me, and I would be willing to be banner courier for the weekend if so deemed. If you can work out that deal with yourself and maybe some others, that would be a cool little jog on the banner trip.

Again, Ill volunteer to bring it up if its alright with everybody else...

I agree with the whole meeting up and rally points, as well as it is a huge pain in the ass for me in the crew cab, pulling my bronco. I spoke with Tom (94 lngbd) about it earlier as well. It would be alot easier for me to just drive straight through, I can meet up with anyone along the way that cant make the trip, but wants to sign the banner.

It also would be much easier for me to leave friday as well, as myself and racin are "going together". I dont want to be a convoy party pooper either, but the way I see it is that we are all ending up in the same place.

 

[--weezl--]

spoke with my dad today, he's pretty willing to send me airmiles to get from here to there, though it would be coming back to calgary with me on an airplane, not in my truck...

i also don't know if i can for sure get the time off of work, (a job i haven't even started yet) though i did mention it in my interview...

it's in the air, i'll have to see when i start getting pay cheques and such before i say for sure...

ok so here's an update. I had about a 20 minute phone conversation with
NMB2(Justin) And being as he's the one that has brought the Banner here from the mid states, he's already has a plan worked out & being that he's trailering his trucky by means of his crew cab diesel, he's not wanting to make alot of stops. Nor in tight area's & I dont blame him

So ,I will meet up with anyone wanting to meet at the McDonald's / 512 park in ride lot & from there we can convoy down to meet up with several others @ the Walmart in Longview.

We won't be stopping at the Walmart in Chehalis or Tumwater. The small convoy will meet up with NMB2 & others @ the Walmart in Longview.

So I gues its just me (Tom), JFA_Spyderman (Grant), & 5.0FOX (Jake) so far that will be meeting at McDonald's / 512 park n ride

That is really crappy. My wifes car was rearended last week and totaled and we are still waiting to hear from the insurance company too. I feel your pain. She is on the fence about going but if she doesn't I will let you know. I wouldn't mind a passenger.

All week end ive been lifting my truck & converting from single piston front brakes to dual piston caliper front brakes ,now need to install dropped pitman arm & adjust steering linkage, but I still will make it cause the rain & night time havent stopped me as I've been doing this all outside & last 2 nites havent made it back into house until 11-11:30. Was even still working while in phone conversation with NMB2

Hey guys. Sorry to barge in last minute, but what time are you meeting at the Long View walmart? I live right near Centralia, WA...and have not logged into my TRS account in forever. I'd like to maybe tag along, if you guys do this early enough.

I might have to work at 4, so let me know if that works or whatever.

And are you guys meeting at the Walmart, then continung on, or...?

 

[NMB2]

after talking to Racin it looks like he wants to take a different route, not through longview, and we are leaving friday afternoon, so whatever meet up's and convoys you guys want to do, dont let me hold you up, plan away, as long as we all end up in the same place, and we have contact numbers.

How close are you to exit# 88 or Country cousins Restaurant? We plan to leave Tacoma/Lakewood area around 10:15-10:30 & it is approx. 48 mins to Country Cousins Restaurant 1054 Harrison Avenue
Centralia, Washington 98531 or 53 mins. to the Walmart super center 1601 Nw Louisiana Ave, Chehalis, WA 98532.

If you could just pm me your name & contact # then I will call you when we leave Tacoma/Lakewood area & you could be sitting on freeway on ramp @ either exit 88 or Harrison ave /I-5 on ramp or Walmart's exit ramp & Just join in as you see us approaching & I can also call you as I get closer to which ever area is best for you to be waiting at. So before 11:30 we should be in your general area

I have bluetooth so dont worry about the cell phone law ,plus my great nephew will also be riding along.

I wont say what im doing to my truck ,but YOU all will see in pics that you cant miss seeing the leader from Tacoma to Longview's Walmart.

From Walmart in Chehalis to Walmart in Longview

Your estimated travel time is 42.32 min for 45.53 miles of travel

Longview Walmart Store #2469
540 7Th Ave
Longview, WA 98632


And at Longviews Walmart We will be meeting up with Hahnsb2 & BRUTUS_T_HOG & hopefully many more from the south & maybe even some more from Northern Oregon.

So if all goes as well as Im planning the trip from Tacoma/Lakewood we should be @ Long view's Walmart by 12:30 & be at the Pacific Ocean beach by 2:00

 

[94 lngbd]

How many TRS members coming from the south,besides Hahnsb2 & BRUTUS_T_HOG are planning to meet up @ Longview's Walmart??? Even members from mid Oregon would be great as this would allow the banner to be passed on to some one headed towards Cali

(no go north, there's about an 80-90% chance i will be in vancouver bc on the 13th, for my sister's wedding...)
