Temporary home of Traventure Man
Hi Everyone!
Welcome to Traventure Man. This tumblr blog will be the temporary home of Traventure Man. The complete and full featured site will be located at www.traventureman.com and you can view a layout of the site to come here:

Why have a temporary site?
Well, if you have been following me for a while you will know that the first big Traventure is this weekend: Oct. 16th - 18th. We are going to Bridge Day in beautiful West Virginia. This is possibly the worlds largest adventure sporting event! BASE jumpers, repellers, and adventure enthusiasts from around the globe convene on the New River Gorge Bridge in Fayetteville, WV.
Bridge Day is turning 30 on Oct. 17th and they are expecting over 80,000 spectators and participants. Traventure Man (me, John Jurko II) is going to be there to cover all of the excitement. Finally here comes the reason for having a “temporary” website. I have been working my butt off at two jobs while trying to prepare for this first epic Traventure, and time has not allowed me to complete the full featured Traventure Man website. So I am using a Tumblr template to get things going. That way I will have a means of connecting with all of you during Bridge Day 2009, and I can concentrate on preparing for the event instead of building a website.
Eventually this Tumblr site will be the home of the “Behind the Scenes” section of Traventure Man; where I will upload photos and short clips from my Flip Mino. But like I said, right now this site is the main Traventure Man website :)
How this all works
These are just the beginnings of Traventure Man. I see it as a fully interactive Travel and Adventure show where you, the viewer/participator, will get to communicate with me in real time through social networking platforms, as I travel the world. You will get to help create each episode and experience by suggesting places to go, people to talk to, and questions to ask. Right now you should follow me on twitter here. I will post updates as my trips go on, and I will ask for your input and suggestions. I will also tweet out every time there is a new blog post or episode for viewing. I hope to tweet with you this coming weekend as we go to Bridge Day in West Virginia!
P.S. If you happen to be at Bridge Day this weekend, tweet me and we can meet up! Happy Traventuring!
P.P.S. Stay tuned for more posts about Bridge Day and Traventure Man.
