This is the Bonneville.com journal  This the first pony express exchange...it is on it's way!  The pictures above they were taken in Coldwater, MI. The handoff was from BigJack in western Indiana to Bikerbob in eastern Michigan. When he is ready to move the journal forward he will be posting. Edit Notes: Edited to update image link only. R.I.P. Bigjack.

Okay... as requested, this is now a sticky. This thread should be used only for a record of the transfers of the journal, all other comments or suggestions should be directed to Big Jack via PM or in this thread.

I arrived in Morenci, Michigan, about an hour ahead of plans. Imagine my surprise when Bob pulled up less then 10 minutes later! Was an excellent ride both ways and the Journal in now in Ohio.  This is an Honor and a Privilege to have had a part in the movement of the Journal. Thanks Bob for contacting me. And for the Little Jug thing also!! Great Stuff!!!

There are no members between NH and NC that wanted to sign it?
Is that WilltheThrill? If so, I reckon it'll be in NC soon. There are a bunch of us here, who else wants to move it around the state? If we don't get a route to go around, I'll meet ya somewhere Will.

I didn't really plan to hold onto it this long, but the journal has finally been passed. It is now with Charlie in western NC. I didn't have a camera with me, but Charlie got some photos of the handoff.

I know the cold months are here and long rides are getting far and few but I'd like to see the journal head down south to Georgia.Nothing is on any time plan it might have to wait till spring,if it takes a couple three years to make it around the country no sweat.

Maybe we could plan a transfer in the near future somewhere near US 129.

I would like to get ahold of the journal if it's still not too far from here. I can then pass it on at Chy's place at the Ga. rally, or maybe get it to somebody a bit south of me. Somebody shoot me a pm.

I did pm Drgnslyr. I know the message was received, but he has not responded. If anybody knows him, get in touch with him. I was hoping to get it and then bring it to the Ga. rally.

Sorry it took so long to answer,work is really busy right now.I work at a marina and everybody wants their boat ready yesterday.As far as the journal is concerned I do still have it,however my days off are Wednesday and Thursday if I'm lucky.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an excerpt from the message he sent me.
His schedule is making it really difficult to get together. My schedule would require a Saturday meeting. Maybe someone closer to him could meet him during the week, then get it to me shortly thereafter?
