Geocache Description:

You don't have to be a travel bug that is down and out to stay at this cache. This cache is open to all trackables. Swag has never really been my thing, but if you wish to leave and/ or trade swag, be my guest. The main mission for this cache is to provide a place of respite for weary travelers in a location that has fairly easy for in and out access of the freeway. The cache is located in an overflow lot for the nearby Park and Ride.

This cache is a large ammo box the size of a toilet tank. There aren't too many places in this area where a cache this size can be hidden. PLEASE use common sense and a sense of STEALTH when finding this cache. I am sure we all would love to see any cache stay “active” and off of the "archive" listings. This takes the cooperation of the geocaching community. Inside the container, there is a smaller container. Please keep this with the cache. It is intended to be a place where the smaller travel bugs and coins can stay inside the cache container without becoming lost in the spaciousness of the container.

If you plan to take a travel bug out of this cache, make sure you log it out of this cache properly.

This is a travel bug hotel. It is my belief that travel bugs were meant to travel.

Can you help out a traveler in the cache get closer to its goal? Take it.

Going on a trip and want to take some bugs on your way? Please do so.

Been holding onto some bugs too long? Feel free to leave them in this establishment.

On a similar note, please do not feel obligated to take a travel bug just because it is in this container. If you cannot help it travel towards its goal, Do Not Take It. The handy-dandy "Discover" option is always open. There will be times when this cache is void of any trackables. This is part of the ebb and flow of a cache. No worries.

If you take something out of this cache that is trackable (coin, jeep, travel bug, diabetes tag, whatever comes next…) Please be responsible. By doing so, you are agreeing to log this traveler properly out of this cache and into the next lucky cache. If you have questions about how to do this, feel free to e-mail me or consult the this link: http://www.geocaching.com/track/howto.aspx
