The Pocono Travel Bug Hotel @ Kettle Creek Traditional Geocache
stellarscapes: Unfortunately, it looks like this cache is gone. I went up there today with two other geocachers and we all searched for about 30 minutes. I searched the area where the cache was hidden and it was gone. Searched the surrounding area and no luck. It is with great disappointment that Ive decided to archive this cache. I'll notify the owners of the Travel Bug that the cache is missing.
