GC3ECT8 Jim (Traditional Cache) in Illinois, United States created by OregonThree

This cache has been archived.

DaveandTonya: Since this trail was first created alot has changed. A new mountain bike/hiking trail was made that comes very close to some of the caches. A nasty storm blew though and changed the terrain by knocking down alot of trees. In the past few years it seems the coords on some of these have strayed a little. With these things as well as others, we think it's time for this trail to go. Maybe someone else will place new caches here and we can find them later. Thanks to all that have visited the dead trail. Cache containers have been removed.

Geocache Description:

Located on a Dixon Park District hiking trail. Closed after dusk. Please place cache back better than you found it. All hides on this trail are pretty easy. Enjoy.

Jim, played by Andrew Rothenberg in the television show, was a mechanic living with a large family in Atlanta. When the dead began to rise, Jim remained generally unaware of this until the city, decreed a safe zone by the government, gradually started to become overrun with the undead. Jim was among the few who escaped from the city as it was completely overwhelmed, though his entire family died in the chaos, shielding him from the zombies long enough to allow him to escape. Emotionally traumatized and devastated, when Jim joined the survivor group just beyond the city's outer limits, Jim became the most taciturn member of the group, revealing almost nothing about his past and barely saying a word. During a zombie attack on the group, Jim, failing to kill one with his gun, grapples with a zombie and violently smashes its head in, his rage over his family's death driving him momentarily insane. After coming to his senses, he found the zombie, before dying, had bitten him, taking a massive chunk of flesh out of his arm. Jim suffered the effects of the zombie plague for days. Refusing a mercy killing or staying with the group (as he knew he did not have a chance), Jim was willingly abandoned at the entrance to Atlanta, in the hopes that, upon reanimating, he could be reunited with the undead members of his family that may still exist.
