I'm with you on this one, Apkano ... at their current rate of progress, (which is more like a month and a half or so rather than a week), I could be living in an assisted living facility by the time the bears reach me and their only adventure of their week with me will be taking a ride in my motorized wheel chair ... naturally, if that comes to pass, I'll work on getting some Karmann badges for the chair so they're not traumatized by the experience ...

But really ... what the hell is the problem here ?????

 

So. Anyone know where the bears are???

 

I know this is going to sound CRAZY, but how about we simplify the whole situation & get MORE BEARS!!! Then everyone could have one of their very own, post pictures whenever they want and no one else will be mad about their teddy bear possession time. If you get tired of your bear you could put it up for adoption to another member. Also, some adventurous forum member could design t-shirts for the bears for certain events (Woodward, Dragon) & you could color coordinate to your XF. Everyone gets very worked up over this bear situation - might be a solution. Who made the bear's little shirts in the first place?

 

The bears were bought by the owner of this forum website.
They were sort of the mascot for the Crossfire group and were to be sent from member to member and kept by each member ONLY ONE WEEK and have pictures taken in various places by the member and posted in this thread then sent along to the next by ongoing continuing contact by PM's to get addresses to keep them moving.
As members showed an interest I maintained a list to let everyone know where they are.
The owner of the website had no involvement after this was started so I voluntarily took the task of tracking these guys and maintaining the list
The list is a sticky thread in the "North America" section in the regional section here where everyone can easily find it at anytime.
Not all members follow the rules so those waiting get frustrated and I understand this but there is nothing anyone can do to resolve this.
Buying more bears will just add to the problem and then the "mascot" theme would no longer exist.

Sorry for the long winded post with long sentences.

Crossfire Forum Bears Travel Itinerary

 

I have the Bears Iam holding them hostage they are safe for now. they are being well feed to my dogs lol Just kidding. Ive been waiting for the next address they have been hanging out with my stuffed animal family. Baltamore ,Dexter cuddlewits the III, Poo and all the gang. all I can say about there time here is there may have been some interspecies cavorting going on??? what happens in Michigan stay's in Michigan.

they Joined me at work where they where given the VIP tour of Detroit Diesel they seem to really enjoy the cusine at the cafeteria. pictures coming soon

 

They are heading to the gateway (St.Louis) to "shark067" where they will spend a few weeks prior to being brought to the

Spring 2009-Tail of the Dragon/Smokey Mountain meet April 3, 4 & 5

to witness a wedding as Shark067 (Kell) and his bride Debby get married !!!

 

With permission from Shark067 I took them on my vacation to Mexico to show them some culture.
I will be bringing them to the Dragon meet this weekend and then they will resume the itinerary as shown here.

And this my friends is the purpose of the bears.

Looks like Cross had a little accident?

 

Thanks for the pictures V-man.
Dang bears got a vacation?
When do I get one????

 

I bet Danica would think they were cute!

 

Nice pics Valk....

I didn't even think about the fact that I was in Europe for the last three weeks... I bet Cross and Fire would have liked seeing Copenhagen, Denmark and Paris, France...


...well maybe not Paris, but Copenhagen for sure.

I'll have to remember when I head back to Copenhagen in September.

 

best you get your name put on the bears' itinerary list ... while it's theoretically possible you could get them in time for a fall trip since there are fewer than 18 names on the list at the moment, the bears are averaging only about one host per month so unless something happens to speed things up, it's more likely you'd not get them until fall of '10 ...
