Or have you verified some of the way point people already? You ain't getting me to go all the way to Armadillo, TX!! Bend that down a bit and and I can take a hand off from Austin and perform one to the Houston area. Oh.. and that's Amarillo for you non-Texans.

Looking at the map and tryin' to encite some action.

Knowing the riding season up north is short, so if it were to start in seattle and work across the northern states would make the best use of summer.

heck, it could start anywhere. even one of them lonely far far far east locations.

The baton isn't decided upon yet, although I've threatened. It looks like a stuffed bunny is the most likely hair to be pulled.

A thought for bridging the gaps (especially the oceans) ....

Pick a figurine or stuffed thingie that is cheap and universally accessible (like a stuffed rabbit for Thumper) and each group shows pics of Thumper moving through their area.

Might not be the same Thumper, but the idea is the same.

Thumper at Fontana Dam, Thumper at the Dragon, Thumper at Mt. Mitchell, Thumper at the Tunnel to Nowhere, Thumper at Dollywood, Thumper at the place where the Hurley fell down the embankment, Thumper on the scraped up Kawachunkie, Thumper sitting on Sluggo's tire at burnout time, Thumper sitting on the lava flow (burning slowly) Thumper with a firecracker stuffed up his butt getting ready to poot his stuffing out. A fuel soaked Thumper lighting the big last night campfire.

(you get the general idea, run Thumper through your area then retire him in a creative fashion).

Thumper could go a lot of interesting places and do a lot of interesting one-off tricks if you wanted him to.

I guess the point is you got gaps you ain't gonna bridge, both here and in the coastal areas of the world between continents.

Plus, if you do pick a figurine expect some practical jokers to be posting some silly stuff.

(we are well supplied with them PJs here on the list).

Thumper in the dumper .... (eeeeeewww) Tongue

We all do various trips durring the year.

Raising your hand now means your interested. When the baton is at the next rider, you and he will negotiate a hand off. Might take a week or 2 for you to find a date that works. Circumstances may even require the use of a 4 wheeled helmet from time to time.

In the case that there's no rider w/in a reasonable distance, put the baton in a box and mail it.

Map updated.
