TurdleEggs: I’m a baaad parent. I had the best of intentions to renew this cache, but as it’s now been a year I guess I should admit defeat. Thanks to all who found it – and to junglehair for the placement!

Geocache Description:

This is a gold 50-cal ammo can hidden 150' from the road. It's an easy stop to drop off/pick up travelbugs if you are heading East or West along the Trans-Canada Highway. It should be a quick find. This one should be do-able in the Winter as it is hidden in the obvious spot.

I set out this travelbug hotel as the launching point for the "Just for the Heck of it Travelbug Race ver. 2" A group of cachers from Western New York sent me back with the racers after a recent visit there. The rules of the race are simple - to rack up as many miles as possible before the race deadline - March 25, 2007. Other than that, there are no rules, so be sure to let those New Yorkers know you're open to bribes.

Why a gold ammo can you might be asking? Well, it was a gift to me from my friends in New York when I reached 1000 finds. It seemed appropriate to use that cache to launch their travelbugs.

Please be sure to grab a bug or two or ten when you visit the cache so they don't end up sitting here all winter. These bugs need to move!

The cache is located very near where PolarBearDiggers recently archived Geko Guesser 2 cache (GCPETG) was. I should thank him for clearing up this spot for me as it makes a perfect location for a travelbug hotel along the Trans-Canada highway.

Be sure to stop at this one, whether you are on your way into Winnipeg, or heading East to the great land of snow and rock called Northern Ontario. For those of you that haven't driven across Northern Ontario, it's 80 billion kilometers long. There are 13 people that live there ... all of whom are named Frank - even the girl! At least that's what the Arrogant Worms say.

While you're here, be sure to stop at N49° 48.107 W096° 53.292 and check out the remains of an old car. According to ml3singers, this is a Mercury Monarch probably from the 50's.
