Current Goal

Hi! I am Jessie the Journal Bug. My mission is to travel to as many places as possible and have lots of people write or draw on my pages. I would like to make it back to my "home" in Birmingham, Alabama by June 4, 2011 to celebrate my owners seven year wedding anniversary. (Yup, that is them on the inside front cover.) Please try to use only a page or less so I have room for all, then send me on my way. Please feel free to include photos of yourself, postcards of the area, or artwork from the little cachers inside my pages. I'm really looking forward to a unique journey. For those of you with Digital Cameras, it would be really cool if you could post a photo of your Journal page on here so my family knows I am doing well.

Retrieve It from a Cache 7/16/2015 guslly retrieved it from "R U Stumped?" Massachusetts   Visit Log

Great idea for a travel bug. I'll drop it at a cache when I go up north later this month.

Retrieve It from a Cache 10/24/2013 furryhermit retrieved it from Ryan:The Final Search & Rescue Wisconsin   Visit Log

Found the journal, but it appears an animal pulled it out of the last cache. Even though it was bagged, it's pretty damp and a little odorous. I'll dry it out a bit and give it a fresh bag before releasing it back into the wild again. Very neat idea! Thanks for sharing.
Grab It (Not from a Cache) 9/22/2012 Youngins3 grabbed it   Visit Log

I got this from our trip out in Pittsburg. Dropping in Wisconsin.

Thanks to Grretta, I have corrected Jessie's location. Please move me along!
Discovered It 9/19/2012 Grretta discovered it   Visit Log

What a neat idea! Found this gem while searching for a missing geocacher, Ryan. Wish I could have read the logs as I'm sure they were very interesting! But I felt guilty standing there writing a note rather than searching for Ryan. I wasn't positive I could move it along quickly so wrote a quick note and got back to the search for Ryan. The good news is Ryan seems to be doing well as he is the one who left your journal at the location where I discovered it. (Since I didn't pick it up I'll contact him and ask him to "pick it up" and "drop it" at the location it is currently residing, GC3WHEW, so it gets its mileage credited.) Thanks for sharing your unique TB.
