Hey everyone,

I'm just about three weeks out from my TransAm tour this summer from Yorktown, VA to Astoria, OR. I have had a few last minute planning questions pop into my head and wanted to ask ya'll for some advice.

1. I just realized you can't ship Jetboil gas canisters in the mail. I have the screw on stove top that works off them and really don't want to pay $100+ for a stove that takes a variety of gases. Does anyone have experience with this kind of setup on the TransAm? Would it be possible to come across these canisters in such rural area's once or twice a month? Has anyone ever brought a similar stove setup that only uses these type of canisters:

2. What do you feel is the best way to get your bike to the start? Would you ship to a bike shop or fly it in with you on the plane? Are there specific airlines that take this better than others?

3. Lastly, planning on flying into Norfolk, VA and biking up to Yorktown to start the next day. Good idea? Or is there a better way to do it?

Thanks in advance for all your help and advice, I appreciate it.
