+Jamie Z Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Hey All, I'm writing from Memphis, Tennessee. If you've read this thread, you may already be aware of my upcoming trip across the region. On or within a day or two of May 2, I will be leaving my house on my way to Los Angeles, with only me and my bike (and some light gear). I've mapped out my route and the nearby geocaches, but I don't know where the cachers live! I'd like the chance to meet some of you on the way. I'd like the opportunity to hunt for some caches together. Also, I'm looking for a few people who would be willing to be my host, as it would be nice to sleep under a roof and have a shower now and then. Below is posted my tentative route. If you live reasonably close to this route (riding distance, i.e. a few miles), would like to meet up for a cache or two, and/or have a couch or floor space you could offer, please email me, or post a reply. It will be much appreciated. Arkansas: May 2-May 6 Texas: May 6-May 14 Dates are approximate, as I have no set schedule, other than I need to be to LA before June 3 or 4. See ya in a few weeks.

+95_Camaro_Couple Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) Jamie, I wish you a lot of luck and fun on your trip! Too bad you're not coming through this neck of the woods, El Paso. We have some great caches in the mountains that I'm sure you'd enjoy. Keep us posted as you travel! All the best, Paula Edited April 20, 2004 by 95_Camaro_Couple Quote Link to comment
+GatoRx Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Wow Jamie - you and that bike! All the places the two of you have gone! I'd volunteer my help again, but I haven't moved since your trip last summer. Good luck though, and include me on the e-mail list of updates if you decide to send them again. Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 include me on the e-mail list of updates if you decide to send them again. There will be updates. I'll include you, but I think the email address I have bounces back. Did you switch emails? Jamie Quote Link to comment
+alchemist2000 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Jamie, Your biking adventure sounds very exciting, as does your trip down the Yangtze in China!! We would definitely like to show you some Texas hospitality as you pass through north Texas, if we can figure out when you will be here. I posted the idea on texasgeocaching.com, and cachers as far away as Houston have expressed an interest in showing up for such an event. You should already have an e-mail from me. Contact me and let's talk details. Quote Link to comment
+GatoRx Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I'll include you, but I think the email address I have bounces back. Did you switch emails? Jamie Check your e-mail - my new address is in there. Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 (edited) Mmm... nothing in my mailbox from you. I get mail from other geocachers. Did you forget or maybe need to try again. [edit] Got it! Jamie Edited April 22, 2004 by Jamie Z Quote Link to comment
+rusty_da_dog Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Wow that sounds like a cool trip, Too bad you are cutting Southwest out of Little Rock, just East of Fort Smith here, and would be glad to go caching, or give you a place to sleep for the night. My Sister and Brother in Law live on I-30 not too far out of Little Rock, I'll tell them about your adventure and see what they have to say, good luck and be safe!!! Quote Link to comment
+alchemist2000 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 With Jamie's permission, I will be posting the e-mail updates of his trip. I have already posted the first one. Check back often. It sounds like his trip will be interesting. Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 (edited) Bumping this up once more. My departure date is only a few days away. I'll be attending an event in Texas, will get to meet some cachers near Phoenix, and may have a cacher BBQ in LA. I'd like to meet and cache with other cachers more often. So again, I ask that anyone who lives near my route and is interested in getting together for a beer or a cache or both, let me know soon. I'll be on the road May 2. See my first post in this topic for more info and maps of my intended route. Jamie Edited April 28, 2004 by Jamie Z Quote Link to comment
+alchemist2000 Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) Help welcome Jamie to Texas....PacifiQuest Comes to Texas, GCJAD0, with Tex-Mex and margaritas, Saturday night, May 8, 6 pm. His knee has been giving him problems the past several days, so perhaps we can give him some encouragement to help keep him moving westward. Click here to see e-mail updates and a map of Jamie's progress to date. Edited May 8, 2004 by alchemist2000 Quote Link to comment
+tstar Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Good Luck Jamie!! Your strength and dedication is an inspiration. Since I am not getting a summer vacation this year, I will just have to take one vicariously through your adventure. It was great to meet you and I look forward to your stories.

+bitbrain Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Big congratulations to Jamie for making it to the West Coast! w00t! Nice tan, too. No photo captions saying, "Yes, Jody, I rode my bike all the way to the ocean." Quote Link to comment
+GatoRx Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Yeah - congratulations Jamie! PacifiQuest was a success! Any pictures with the bike, standing in the waves at the beach? Good luck in China - we're all looking forward to the stories! Quote Link to comment
+Woof! Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 (edited) Congrats Jamie! I had the pleasure of meeting you at your final destination in Southern California. I hope your adventures in China are as successful as PacifiQuest. May the wind stay at your back, and your head above water! Edited June 5, 2004 by Woof! Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted June 5, 2004 Author Share Posted June 5, 2004 Any pictures with the bike, standing in the waves at the beach? Actually, there is a picture of me at the beach. Funny, I never knew the ocean was only a bike ride away. And yes Jody, I did ride my bike there. http://mail.augustmail.com/~ctthomas/JamieZ/JamieZ-index.htm Jamie Quote Link to comment
