If it doesn't fit, force it!
I am in Kansas, and 96Indyram has mentioned that he might be willing to help, and is a bit closer to you than me.

I'd also be willing to bet a kamikaze deer didn't smash the front of his B2 in last weekend. :annoyed:

I can still make the trip if needed in a ford, albeit it may be a borrowed one. :dunno:

Just a suggestion.

Consider meeting halfway, that worked for me heading south into Oregon to meet Thisfords4u. Still a lot of miles but its doable.
And...watch for those kamakazi deer for sure!

I'm willing to make the journey, just unsure of a vehicle situation at the moment.

What direction does the banner need to travel is my question?
it is currently in Colorado. If it comes into Kansas, what direction should it travel?
East towards Kansas City and into Missouri..or South towards Wichita Ks. and go to Oklahoma?

simply put, this one has to get to key west florida, everything else is open. take a look at the user map, and see where the best way is, the way that will hit the most members, and won't hit a dead end... Dead ends are bad because people don't want to back track, the people who had the banner, don't want to get it back again just to undo what they have already done... if it crosses paths with a user in a different direction as before it's not a big deal, but someone's not going to want to drive it 3 hours in the exact opposite direction as they already took it

I was just looking at the map,

https://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?msid=211042799947636744748.0004b716d009601678167&msa=0&ll=37.113674,-108.424072&spn=75.404302,173.144531

it would be a shame if we couldn't get it to that group of people in the san diego area before it crossed that great divide of the west and east states... but it's already kinda central...

If you go back through the thread weezl, an attempt was made to get it down to that area. That's where it stalled out and took forever to get it moving again.

Well.....let's put it like this......

This is Canada/America People--Get It Done!

The Way-up-North Members did the impossible--weezl & the whole bunch...We even had a GIRL drive hundreds of miles..they deserve better than this!

We had members screaming for it last year.....and now they won't even check on the Banner......for whatever reason (not ranting on those in bad money situations)......

If SOMEONE will get it to Orange, Texas....OR Shreveport La,.....OR Memphis, Tenn.........OR......Meridian Miss......................

I WILL MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS TO mY-aM-mEE.....unless GOD ALMIGHTY has different plans for the Universe!

Then the rest of the members can pass it around when they get in the mood!

Where's my ************ meds?!?!?!
