Infamous Travel Bug Prison (I.T.B.P.) Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

THE WARDEN: Archive Post

I write this post to let everyone know that the Infamous Travel Bug Prison (I.T.B.P.) will now be archived. For some, the difficulty in holding back tears will be overwhelming. For others, smiles will be seen on their faces for days. This geocache has lived up to its name. As The Warden, I can tell you that rehabilitating travel bugs has been an experience I shall not soon forget. While typing this post is hard, I am, however, reassured that our travel bug transfer will happen and these bugs shall be rehabilitated. It's not fair to them or the travel bug owners to have them be let out into society to run amuck. There have been talks of an I.T.B.J. and we are in the final stages. Rest assured - they will be incarcerated.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns about these troublesome creatures as we will be relocating them very soon.

°°°RULES FOR CACHE°°°

This was a traditional cache with the simple rule of “take somethin’ / leave somethin’”.


Now it is simply a prison for trackables and most notably the evil Travel Bug. These naughty little creatures run amuck all over the world creating chaos under the pretense of "I just wanna go from place to place". This cache is a "prison" because of its difficulty rating. Please consider the rating and be careful! Please give everyone a chance to rescue travel bugs. It's not much fun to travel all the way to a 4/5 geocache only to find that there are no Travel Bugs to liberate. LOG YOUR FIND!! 

If you wish to get a jump on the prisoners, you can always visit the Infamous Travel Bug Jail Multicache Returns: (link coming soon)
Free them before they come here!

This cache is hidden in a 5mm ammo box.

Be very careful as there are pitfalls in the correct cave.

-THE WARDEN

 

***NOTICE***

These "Travel Bugs" are considered missing (for now) as the original cache was stolen and/or moved in 2008
