This travel bug contains the coordinates of the Thoreau Hitchhiker geocache. Only those that find this TB know these coordinates! There is a Thoreau Hitchhiker geocache web page but it contains dummy coordinates so you must find the TB to find the cache. The mission is to travel around New England providing coordinates serendipitously of a great place to visit. Thoreau_Hitchhiker_Geocache_webpage: (visit link)
This geocache is different than any other we have seen and has its origins in a similar "Letter Boxing" setup. With this geocache, no coordinates are given on the Internet. Instead, the coordinates are placed in an existing, host geocache (chosen arbitrarily) and then Hitchhike from one existing host geocache site to another, moved by the last person to find the Hitchhiker coordinates. Only those that are lucky enough to find an existing, host geocache with the Hitchhiker coordinates in the host cache box get to also find the Hitchhiker cache site! (which does not change position). The cache is in the New England area, so please don't move the TB too far from its actual cache coordinates.
This cache was originally put into place 4/1/2001 and has operated without a "Travel Bug" attached to the cache coordinate packet. I have attached a "Travel Bug" to the packet to make the logging of the TB easier and to be able to show the caches that the TB coordinate packet has visited.

Unless the appearance of this TB has changed since the photo in the description was taken, it is missing from the Witch Tree Cache (GCKPMJ). I hope it gets logged soon, since it has such an important purpose!

I've been keeping my eye on this for about a decade. Nice to be able to finally log it. Hope to be able to find the actual cache some day soon!
Thanks for putting this out there and for keeping it going for all these years!

Found in the Witch Tree cache. Wrote down coordinates and left the TB in the same cache.

I love this idea for a cache! I've been meaning to go to The Witch Tree anyway to check Lincoln off my list, so I finally did it and got the coordinates I need. I'll wait till next summer when it's time for a swim to get this cache!
