I'll volunteer to be the last guy. Plan it out so that the guys in Maine can meet me at Woodstock and I'll be there whenever I need to be. Then I'll bring whatever token right to Cape Spear and dip it in the ocean.

I'll repost this from a few pages back in the thread.

Here's a guy who figured out the shortest route through all 48 states. Also nice because it's a circle. You don't have to start in FL or Maine, etc.

www.barrystiefel.com/50_states_in_a_weeks_vacation/planning.htm

And here's his map:


He just barely touches some states. We wouldn't have to follow this exactly but it might help in putting an order to which states come where in the circuit. If I organize VA I'll know I come right after West VA and before Kentucky.

This is a big undertaking. I think we need a couple "teams".

1. A group in charge of the actual object we're taking on the trip
2. A group to sketch out the rough route we'll take, maybe just the order of States.
3. Regional "captains", "cat herders", "fixers", "logistical leads", whatever you want to call them to work out the specific routes and hand offs in their areas.

The biggest thing is getting people to fill out the map. Pretty easy to get it all done if thats the case.

I'm not personally a fan of that circle thing because I would be left out, and I'd really like to do this.

I would too. I am hoping that is just a grab it by the horns and get it started idea. My bike is a Stoplight to stoplight bike, but I can ride couple hundred miles in a day with minimal numbness and slight shoulder ache. Just hope to be a part of it

Anybody here have or know someone with talent that can make the flag?

Regarding the ride, I'm in MD (please stick me on the map in central MD) and can handoff or receive the token with anyone in Delaware, South/central PA (like around Gettysburg), northern VA, or eastern sections of WV (Harper's Ferry would be nice). I prefer before Thanksgiving or after the middle of March, but will consider a winter ride if no snow or freezing rain (BRRRRRR). Ed
