Geocache Description:

Bring me bugs!! Or take them. Travel bugs that is. Welcome to my travel bug hotel, located just a few minutes off Interstate 72 near Jacksonville. But this hotel isn’t just for travel bugs. It also will accept traveling GeoCoins.

If you’re looking for a cache that is difficult to find, keep looking. This cache is designed for moving travel bugs and it is an easy find. This diversion to a traveler going east or west on the interstate should cost them only 20 to 25 minutes of drive time (it’s only about a five minute drive from the I-72 off ramp), and you can help hitch-hiking bugs get to where they are going, or just give them a place to take a break.

If you’re not bringing a bug to drop, please take only one of the bugs inside (so we don’t run out), and please log the bugs you pick-up and/or drop as soon as possible so owners will know where their bugs are resting or heading.

And, of course, you can just log this as a find if you don’t have any bugs to drop or don’t want to pick up one to move.

This should be an easy cache. It’s located on public land alongside Lake Jacksonville in Morgan County. It’s very close to where my former “One Degree of Separation” cache was located before it was muggled. From Interstate 72, take the number 64 south exit onto Route 267, and go about one-third of a mile, then turn east onto the Lake Jacksonville road at the bottom of the first hill. Then just let your GPSr take you to the cache. It’s near a lake turn-in. There isn’t any parking area, so pull off on the roadside, preferably on the turn-in.

The cache is close to the road, so no real bushwhacking is necessary. You’ll be looking for a three-pound plastic coffee can wrapped in camouflage tape. This cache isn’t very big, so use it only for bugs and coins. There isn’t room for trading swag.

Please practice a little stealth while on the hunt. Muggles will be able to see you as they drive by, and they likely will be curious as to what you’re doing there, especially those “full-time” campers that spend their summer months here.

I’m starting this hotel with five or six travel bugs and one geocoin, all heading for interesting places. Stop by, check their destinations and give one a ride. And be sure to register your visit by signing the hotel guest-book.

You shouldn’t need a hint to find this one. Your GPSr should take you right to it. If you do need one, just let me know.
