I99 Travel Bug Motel #1a Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Keystone: I allowed generous extra time for this cache to get back online, after reading about the owner's circumstances. I can personally relate to that situation. Sadly, however, the time has come when I must enforce the cache maintenance guideline. Archiving this listing will free up the area for someone else to place and maintain a cache.

Geocache Description:

Extreme stealth is now required. Do not attempt if you suspect you will look suspicious in any way when finding this cache.

***********UPDATED 12/10/12***********
My father passed away in July of this year and replacing the cache got pushed to the side. I know several people are waiting for the reactivation and I am sorry it has taken so long. Please look for the GRAND RE-OPENING within the next month :)
- attributes updated

The motel will be stocked with a geocoin I will be dropping off, along with a brand new geocoin and TB I activated.

I am updating the TB list to show that there are no TBs in the cache. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not take a TB if you do not intend to update the cache correctly. Thanks to everyone who has sent me updates on the cache.
***********************************

This is the replaced cache for the one that went MIA. Please visit GCRH6E for all past logs.

The goal for this motel is to get traffic coming north from I76 and US 22 from Pittsburgh towards I80. This cache is located off the 17th street exit; after finding the cache you will be able to jump right back on I99 going N or S.

You will be looking for a waterproof plastic container that has camo tape on the outside and top.

There is a large shoulder on the road that you can safely park. You can park at Aldi's but be careful of who may be watching while you pinpoint the cache location.
