The Travel Bug hostel is located just south of the eastbound
exit ramp of Interstate 40 at Exit 88 (Hydro/Carnegie). There is a
good place for eastbound trucks and RVs to park just off the exit
ramp. Westbound trucks and RVs can park a quarter mile north at the
intersection of Route 66 and SH58. The cache is on private property
with the permission of the owner. Local police know about the
caches in the area, so if you meet one of these fine gentlemen,
just tell them you are geocaching.
You will not have to cross any fences to retrieve the
cache. If you are caching at night, be careful. The cache isn't
far from the road, but the ground is a little bumpy and there are
some sand-burrs. For both east and west bound traffic, the on-ramp
is approximately one mile further down the highway from the
off-ramp.
30 March 2011 - This piece of land was sold this week to
an out-of-town owner. I'll try to talk with the new owners, but
from what I understand, they plan to put a house on this property.
They probably don't want geocachers dropping by their front porch,
even as nice as we can be most of the times. I'll leave it active
for now, but this is just a warning.
