Current Goal

"Jack" grew up on the flat plains......living a very - very bored life. Once, while munching on some vegetation near a truck stop, he witnessed travelers pull over in a Winnabago to have a few cold beers and rest their "driving" muscles. When the family dozed off, they left their DVD running. While Jack continued munching in the shade, he observed a 3 hour black and white copy of "Route 66". That was when Jack discovered "The Other World". Now Jack's endeavor is to travel forever to the "other side" of the fence. He is starting out in Bartlesville, Oklahoma and hopes to head for the East coast first. He hopes to visit every U.S. state before his hopping days are over. Help Jack to be successful. (Hare today....gone tomorrow!!!!)

Found JackElk reading a newspaper on the side of the road, wishing he were in a cooler state. Thought we heard him mumble quietly to himself that he liked Florida. Thought what the heck. We'll take him there. Bought a car seat and will strap the little guy in. Trip is Labor Day weekend.

I ran into this little guy last weekend in Memphis. He was out and about taking in the sites, listening to good Jazz music on Beale Street and stuffing his face with the local cuisine. He was entreating but I never gave him much more thought.

I arrived back in home in Indianapolis and discovered that the little bugger had stowed away. He read in the newspaper about the US Grand Prix this weekend and just had to go. I am sure after the race he will get bored and want to move along again.

Carried this little fellow to Memphis, TN and showed him some sites there. Plan on passing the "horny" little guy on to another Geocacher soon. Hopefully, a new state will be added to his traveling record/contest against that fowl fiend (Roadrunner!!!).
