I love this idea, and would be happy to participate, with the caveat that my LEAF is scheduled for an August delivery.
I think the idea of splitting up the long haul into smaller group "owned" sections will lighten the logistical load. Magnetic signs can be made at Kinko's relatively inexpensively, and are easy to transfer. I bet Nissan/a Nissan dealer has a PR budget for this sort of thing. If we contact municipalities, businesses, etc. with enough lead time, it may be just the push they need to get their EVSE installed sooner rather than later.
Since one of the things we need to educate people about is just how many different ways to feed a LEAF, we can also look to home charging stations along the way. Seems to me there is a website/app where people share their EVSEs and accessible 110 & 220 outlets. They can be folded in as well, and may help to plug the "hole" as well as help folks understand that we're building community as well.
It makes good sense to schedule PR events along the way: dealers, picnics, etc. if we go with a regional model (above), then the folks in each region will know what works.

And the whole AC issue is shaping up as a non-issue for the Pacific Northwest this year.
