    Great idea, Varz!

    Also, Yoda definitely needs to get some Navajo sidewalk jewelry from Old Town. Maybe a group photo there?

    Or maybe from Nine Mile Hill at sunset with the river and the red Sandias in the background?

    C'mon, let get some ideas flowing here.

    I think the outer rim is thinking of Roswell and White Sands...

    another good place: Billy the Kids grave, Blue Hole, Sante Fe - we can stalk Shirley MacClaine, Atomic Musuem, the prison where The Longest Yard was shot?, the volcanes - great views from the tops of them, Old Town is a good one, Sun City...

    You know where we should do a shot with the Outer Rim, is do a trip to pass Yoda over to them to the lava flows that are half way point...

    Update:

    Well, I regret to say that Yoda has disappeared in London. The contact person in London gave us word that he obtained Yoda, then he disappeared off the face of the planet several MONTHS ago. The London CR and RSA are doing everything in their power to find Yoda, but he's been gone for months. We're still hoping to find news of what happened to Yoda, but I fear he's already lost (i.e. sold, stolen, stripped for parts, etc.)

    However, once we hear from Yoda (be it good news or bad), the tour WILL continue. If Yoda is discovered, he will be sent to the London CR's custody (and hopefully still get a few pics of London in), then sent off to Wales to continue the tour. If Yoda does not surface, Kim and I are planning on sending another Yoda around. It won't be the same, but we really want to continue the tour.

    And yes, we've already thought of sending a Bail Organa figure to London to "retreive" Yoda. ;)

    So... basically the tour hasn't progressed at all. I'll keep you guys up to date when we learn about the whereabouts of Yoda.

    I'm also thinking of sending a waiver out that basically says "Steal Yoda and die." ;)

    Or, just know, that if you're in the US, I'll hunt you down. :p


    Sorry guys about the delay!

    :eek: Noooooooooo! Yoda Jedi Master cannot be lost! I didn't even know he was scheduled to come here! Someone using the dark side of the force must be hiding him...but Yoda Will Prevail! Can't wait till he gets here! [face_praying]

    Maybe he needed a break? He's never been to London before. I bet he'll turn up.


    Here's my ideas for picture settings.


    1. In a hot air Balloon.
    2. From the crest of Sandia at Sunset. City lights in the background.
    3. Eating a burrito with green chili. (Yoda likes to eat!)

    Well, at first we thought he was probably laying sloshed under a table somewhere after England won the Cricket match... but this must be one heck of a hangover. ;)

    Good to see you guys back online! [:D]

    All right, a quick recap:

    * Yoda was found in London at the end of October. He moved on and has already passed through Midlands, England, and is finishing up his last few days in Wales, UK as we speak. He will soon be on his way to France. :D

    * We finally got access to the website to start uploading, and as soon as finals are done for our webmistress, we hope to have it up and running asap! (The link is in my sig with a pretty "coming soon" sign. :p )

    * In holiday spirits, Master--Kenobi and I reoppened the tour to signups. 10 new fanforces have signed up and confirmed and 5 more are still debating. Out of those 15, 10 are new countries to add to the tour!

    That's it for now. Happy Holidays, and I'll be sure to let you know when we get this website up! :D

    Update:

    The website is almost finished. However, our webmisstress' computer crashed, so it will take a little bit before we can finish it. There are several text mistakes on the website (for instance, she listed Canada as being part of the USA [face_laugh] ), but other than that, it is nearly there! I will let you know when it is finished. :D

    As for Yoda himself, due to an error in the French Post Office, Yoda was sent back to Wales. We are currently preparing to try to send him to France once more. :)

    Thank you for your patience! :D
