Geocache Description:

This should be a quick find in a great little spot to visit between flights. Come bye and trade some swag, or pick-up/exchange trackables.... WATCH YOUR STEP. This is a rather large, but also shallow tupperware container COMPLETELY HIDDEN by pine needles and leaves. X marks the spot...

A nearby TB hotel (Motel 3) was stolen by a trail crew and after I confirmed the loss, this song was playing on the radio as I drove off....

FLY BY NIGHT by RUSH

(Here's a sample. A quick google search will net you the full lyrics if you wish to read them all.)

(Chorus)
Fly by night, away from here
Change my life again
Fly by night, goodbye my dear
My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend

(Final Verse)
Start a new chapter
I find what I'm after
It's changing every day
The change of a season
Is enough of a reason
To want to get away
Quiet and pensive
My thoughts apprehensive
The hours drift away
Leaving my homeland
Playing a lone hand
My life begins today

(Chorus)

Written by Neil Peart
Music by Geddy Lee
Performed by RUSH

For some reason that song reminded me of Travel Bugs...

I took it as a sign that this spot needed another cache to better help TBs & coins out of town. Take 'em, leave 'em, or just discover... It's ALLLL kosher. There's also some swag to trade in the cache too, so this cache can't be called a proper TB hotel either.

Let's TRYYY not to have the telltale 'unusual pile of sticks' here okay.... The cache is at the base of a pine tree fully covered with leaves and pine needles. X marks the spot with JUST A COUPLE of sticks....Get it? Tryyy to rehide it like that every time. Thanks. :)

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[I WANT you to find this cache so this hint is NOT encrypted. Skirt the pond and take the utility trail to the left. As you get within 25 feet there are two decent sized pine trees about 12-15 feet apart. It is at the base of the larger one that is a tad bit more off trail. AGAIN, X marks the spot with just a couple of sticks. AVOID piling sticks up on the cache. Instead, use pine needles and leaves. THANKS. :) ]
