The real hurdle is visibility/critical mass. I've made the top fiftyish. But I have friends, and a decent idea of how to get this started.
I'm failing at figuring out Digg, but between Lj, (and what I hope will be a web of friends promoting it) and some other places (Making Light, a listserve I used to frequent, some other blogs of friendly nature). I think I can get up to the top 10, for at least a little while.
Then one just has to keep it up. Finding new people, getting them to sign off on it, that's the key.
Then come the questions of: is the idea practicable? Can you take a decent photo? Can you write? If you can get a few thousand people to vote for you, then maybe you can get that many to follow the trip.

That, at least, is my plan.
