Who's got the journal at this time? What are your plans for it? I know winter is comeing and rideing will stop in the middle of the country for awhile.Last we've heard it was in the south west.Please check in so we know where it's at.

Jack,
You may want to contact Charlie(bad406) or blackwind directly to track it down.
good luck.

Anybody ever determine the location of The Journal? Maybe we tag it with a GPS locator or EPRB when it surfaces

I have the Journal here in Houston. I have a hard time here finding anyone in town that monitors this site much, and have little luck with the BMOA. I will have it with me anytime I think I might have a chance to pass it along, and will capture pics of the same and post here. Spring is almost here!

Keith,Many of us are planning on going to Prescott Arizona for the Sout West Triumph rally. If you could meet up with a right coaster going that way it would be great.

Jack, I am working on that now that I'm back on two wheels. You can follow that in the Texas Rally thread...

I'm really embarrassed that I've had it this long. There are a few members here in Houston, or in the Houston area. If they can chime in, we can try to get more entries in the journal before it moves on.

Right now, I'm going to try to get it to Chad (Locopony), up in Cleveland, and maybe he can get it to the Hill Country in a few weeks.

Chime in if you are in the Houston area and want to see this Journal. It is an honor to hold it, and we need as mamny BA.com members as possible to make an entry in it. Bring your cameras. Pics are cool to have and share.

Send me a PM if you can meet me or help pass it along.

Keith, I think Saxtron is going to the SWTF maybe you all could meet some sunny Sunday afternoon and pass off the journal.

If nothing else, I will be coming through Houston on my way to SWTF (of course I will be riding a Yamaha so it might not like that)

That's alright Thom. When Keith passes the journal to you, just take a picture of his bike and the journal and leave your Yamahog in the background.

I got the journal yesterday 3-19-11 at 11:00 am, here in Humble Texas. I would like to get it to some one who can take it to Arizona and then get it out to the north west west. Hopefully it can make the complete trip back to its origins.

Chad,

I think there are some folks from Texas headed to Prescott, but if not, I will be passing through the area (spending the night in Sugarland with some friends) early in the week before the SWTF and will take it if no one else does.

The Journal is now in the hands of Chad Turner (Locopony) of Humble, Tx


Passing The Journal to Locopony

Cool Thom I will be glad to hand it off to you.
If any of you guys want to get a chance at it here in Texas please get in contact with me. I will be happy to get it to ya before I take it to Thom so he can farther its travels.
Just let me know when you are in town Thom.

Glad to see the journal is on the move again.If I meet up with it in Prescott it will have been at 4 different rallys I've been at.From Prescott I hope it moves west to Cali.,then north to Washington and Oregon as the number of members seems large up that way.If things happen like this the journal will have been to all four corners of the USA.Then it could starte a seconed trip to maybe fill in where it hasn't been.Sweet!!

If I am not working at the time, it will make it to Arizona.

That would be waaaaay cool. Conceivably from AZ, it could make it's way to the PNW because of the guys heading down from there. And more than one of those guys is heading up to Nelson come July so ya never know... maybe it COULD jump the border for a spell!

I am sure Friar will claim senority on that matter..and well deserved!!Of course "Z" would transport here up north to Cal-Oregon-washington and then onto nelson/montana..whatever!!

I'm sure we'll figure something out.

Picked up the journal this morning from Chad (Locopony) with Stewart (Roundy77) presiding; and buying breakfast :-). I will carry it on to Prescott for SWTF and I think it is headed up to the North-Northwest with some of those fine folks. Always good to look through it and see those who have had it for a while and those who have signed it, and even those who are no longer with us.

I had to work today. Wish I could have hooked up with you all while you were in the area, Thom. Good to see the Journal on the move again.

It was cool to meet Thom and Roundy for breakfast, along with their families.
Someone should have told me to comb my beard before taking pictures.

Z and I have brought the Journal from Prescott to Portland. I plan to have some folks around here sign it, and then meet up with Z and he is going to try and the some Northern Washingtonians to sign. It will then be going to Nelson. We will be planning the handoff after that.

The Journal has now exchanged hands a couple times since Brent post above.
Brent handed it to Keith a few days ago at the Nelson RAT Raid. Im sure hell post a pic at some point.

A few days alter Keith handed it back off to me and the Journal is now in my possession. Ill be planning a get together and get the locals to read and sign then make plans to get it moving east in a few weeks. Ill post a pic of the handoff from Keith to me shortly.

OK...maybe not so shortly but here it is...

Today the journal saw some activity and a change of hands...
odatbob, kford, fishonabike and myself, zmilin as well as a friend of Bobs met for lunch at Copper Creek Inn in Ashford Wa.
Bob signed and then Karen handed off the journal to Fish.

YOU GAVE IT TO A NEWBIE!?!

(Just kidding, Fish.)

Don't worry, Friar. It's in good hands!

(Hmmmm... now where did I put that journal...)

Fish,winter is rappidly approching,do you have plans to move the journal towards the midwest at this time? I know Fast Eddy over in Minnassota has an interest in getting it.I can understand if it must winter with you, just curious as to your plans.

If the journal ever comes back through the Kansas city area next spring/summer I would be honored to carry/pass it through to it's next destination.

Where did it go? Sumpin' fishy going on here!

I was hoping to get my hands on it as well, while it's in the area. I even had an idea for an interesting location for the hand-off picture.

I just sent him a message on Facebook.

Fish recently informed me that Z has his phone #. Maybe give him a call?

Fish told me he'd be happy to pass it off to Conwy or Z. Y'all just need to make some concrete arrangements.

Conwys up.... Karen and I passed it to Fish.
Id be happy to run it east BUT that won't happen till it warms up.

Steve... you've been riding lately even in the cold so feel free to reach out to Fish and make the arrangements. Ill PM you his #.

As the term "Pony Express" implies... it should be on the move collecting stories, not sitting around stagnant. I hope it travels again soon!
