Geocache Description:

Very little bushwacking involved.

First I'd like to thank CameraThyme for supplying both the ammo box and the name for this cache, being that today (Mar. 15th) is the "Ides" if March!

I'd also like to thank everyone at the CITO event I attended that contributed some bling in this cache too.

After the CITO event, I went on a hunt for a good spot to hide my first ammo box. Though I have found many ammo boxes, it's a little bit harder when you actually have to hide one, versus just a film container for example.

I found a perfect "medium sized" park in Tacoma to hide it in. According to the information listed on "Boppa"'s cache site (GCT7D5) that is nearby, this park (Franklin Park) has been known for caches to get muggled in the past, so please use stealth, especially when it starts to get a little bit busier in the summer.

The area where I hid it is out of sight from everyone, and very little bushwhacking is required. I have removed most of the sticker brush that was in the way, but it may start to grow back in the summertime.

PLEASE RE-HIDE THIS CACHE THE SAME WAY OR BETTER than the way you found it. I want this cache to last for a long time.

I have started out this TB Hotel with a nice geocoin, and a TB. I will occasionally stop by to throw more bling and TB's as time goes on.

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, consult this link: (visit link)

***********************************************************
UPDATE!!!

I apologize to everyone that has approached from the EAST. I originally did not mention that there is a steep hill, and much bushwacking involved! Though it technically puts you closer to this cache from the EAST side, I would not recommend that way!

To make this cache much more accessible, please approach it from the WEST instead. Plenty of parking is available on the street, though you will have more muggle activity from this direction.

Please be discreet! Thank you.

UPDATE:
As of 6/12/08, I am no longer making this a TB hotel. The cache has been muggled a few times, and coins have come up missing. Please use discretion if you are going to place TB's, and coins in here!
