The Passport became quite tattered after carrying it in my
back jersey pocket for over 4,000 miles. I carried it in a zip-lock
baggie which I also used to carry a little money for stops at
convenience stores for food. At one time I made a phone call
to let my wife know where I was and I opened the zip-lock baggie
for money. In my hurry I left it at the phone. I had ridden about
5 miles before I realized it was missing. I returned and it wasn't
there but, luckily, an honest person left it in the store. After
that mishap, I was always very paranoid about loosing my Passport.
