    Re: TBN "Celebrate Forty-Eight" Club

    One car in all 48 is the way I think it should be. I'm a few states short of this but we did pick up 5 more states in the past two weeks of travel. Might make it some day to all 48 in Misty Blue.

    We now have 36 states covered with 12 to go.

    Have no dog in this fight but I agree with Ron. Not only Ron but as more folks own their second Bird they become candidates. Richard and Gordon are travelers with a Bird stationed in two different states and extensive traveler Tbear Dave might leave his 007 at home and we may never see it if the WW gets all the trips. Karen makes their Sarasota home a two bird family and they travel extensively. hey how 'bout that Dot/George team from Texas. Greg out in Vegas. Anybody else?
    I think I'll drive the 007 to events where the WW has already visited. Maybe have a double 48. Seems to me like the award is as much for the car as it is the driver. I like it the way it is. Hard to do and a well deserved trophy.

    This is a very nice award for a great accomplishment. Defining the rules is usually straight forward. Will the car wear the award, or will the person?

    Congrats to all you renegades on your wanderlust accomplishment. Impressive.

    Probably never get more than 12-15 members but strongly believe the mentioned very active members should be given the chance to join your little fraternity.

    Drive or ride in the same retrobird in all 48 contiguous states for any distance, in any order, over any amount of time it takes you to accomplish the task.

    Same retrobird needs to be changed to read your retrobird. If someone sells and trades for another retrobird you are saying they have to start over. In thirteen months we have been in 24 states, 3 providences and the District of Columbia with the Dusk Rose, but we are losing six states because we have been in a different retro.

    Great accomplishment people. We are at 25 states and 5 Canadian provences. I guess we have a long way to go yet.

    Anyone that reaches this milestone will receive a gold mirror-finished dash plaque for their car from the current club members. Many thanks to Roger Benischek for helping with the design and to Dennis Christensen for making them for us. The reflective plaque does not photograph well, but it looks great with this logo:
