I am still on tap to receive baton from whatever direction it comes from. My plan from here is to hopefully meet @SOAZtim in S Az at an agreed upon location. I think that @SOAZtim has his 40 up and running again. If not the meet would probably be to @DSRTRDR I didn't get in on the stickers. Are there any left for purchase?

Info on purchasing the stickers is in post #474, which is on page 24 if I remember correctly. @ginmtb handled the stickers and I think he had 100 printed. Not sure how many are spoken for.

Yup I did that. Hoping the money envelope is traveling with the briefcase too... oh and there is still money in it when I receive it.
Well stalled may be the right word at the moment. Alan and I scheduled our meet in Hot Springs. 3am the morning of I had a tornado come through the property where I work. I got called back into work that day to help cleanup the mess and get the property ready for our guests coming that Friday. We had 11 people working 12 hour days for 4 days straight and it was still a mess. We just finished picking up limbs earlier this afternoon.
Alan and I are working out our new dates for the transfer. He is coming into Little Rock next week and I should be able to meet up with him then.
Sorry for the delay guys. Enjoy a few pictures of the damage.
Did you hang on to any stickers? I would like to buy some and bring one down to @Godzirra ...Yup I did that. Hoping the money envelope is traveling with the briefcase too... oh and there is still money in it when I receive it.

They were shipped directly to the starting line so I haven't even seen one!

Don't remember seeing and envelop with money in the brief case.

Yay...
Guess that is my donation to this adventure then. A few people sent money via paypal so thank you to those folks who did that. This is an honorable group so I'm going to assume that it got lost somewhere in all the handoffs...

Is it possible that the money envelope is in the toolbox? Are stickers in that as well? Are the toolbox and briefcase together? I'm kind of lost with where things are... I think that is the problem too - there are three threads wish they could somehow be merged but with time stamps it would be all over the place...

Yessir donated early on and thank you for getting them made.
The $ envelope is most certainly in the Baton(toolbox) from the North-Central. The Surrogate Baton from Fl. also had stickers/"stuff" from Fl./Ga. I personally added $ to it in Lickskillet,Al, as did Tenn80. There were many extra stickers in the NS box as well, waiting for the next hand-off. I am sure they(stickers/$) are there--just buried under all the rest of the added memorabilia that has accumulated--they(stickers) were only $1,but you gotta be a transferee to get one

any time frame yet on transfer through Arizona ?
I need to schedule my flights really soon . . .

I don't remember anything mentioned in this thread that the stickers were only for the "transferees". I paid for one early on via Paypal and participated in the trip, but it's no big deal. Meeting the fine group of people I traveled with is worth way more than a sticker.

They were for those that were on the trip - transferree or not. Hopefully you got yours or will be getting yours since you paid!
Mike, When this is all done let us know. We will take care of the difference if you are short cash for the stickers. You went above and beyond getting those done.
The batons are coming to my brother next and then me. I paid for 5 decals by PayPal back in October but will probably only take 3. One for my brother @cruiserbarn and one for me and one for another guy with a 40 that will make the drive with me possibly. I agree with Shark56, if the money isn't there at the end of the trip, let us know and we will make you whole.
My '75 is nearly dialed in. Waiting in Orange co., CA for this leg!

Headed out this weekend for a decent mileage trip and a couple nights camping. If it does well, I'll trust ol Tonto to make this longer trip to get the baton!
If not... I'll still go, but with more fear!
