Toilet Tank: A Travel Bug's Place for Rest Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Speeding Element: With careful thought and deliberation, I am deciding to close this cache and archive it for good. I have read the logs about the trash all over the ground, and I have been to the cache during the day and night. The recliners popped up, the broken glass table crept up as well. I guess what ultimately decided it for me was seeing IRS statements scattered on the ground of a man and woman with a mailing address in Yelm. In clear light, there was their social security number and income tax return along with legal documents of what appear to be to (what must be) their construction company and an empty black attache case. (I will be calling the non-emergency number for the Federal Way police tomorrow about that and see if they want to do something about it.) I'm just not sure what else to do. I drove off to turn back around after some counsel from some close caching friends. The thought that was left lingering in my mind was, "...And this is where I bring other cachers to?" It's just not worth it to leave this up and running for the sake of having a Travel Bug Hotel. I pulled the container and will be logging out all of the trackables that were in the container. If you still need to log travel bugs or other trackables in or out of the cache, you can still do it with the cache being archived.

In my hands are the following travelers that I pulled along with the huge container:
Tyler's One Horned Dino
In Memory of Churchill
Travel Bug Groudon
Red Wood Engine on a Bug
Mac Bear
SC Magnolia Marilyn
Turkish Intel Bunnyman Travel Bug
With the Sun

Geocache Description:

No, this isn't actually a toilet tank, but it's pretty close to it. This cache is NOT on the freeway or approachable from the freeway. Don't try it, I don't want to see you on the news!

Based upon personal feelings and cacher feedback, I would not recommend this as a night cache. Be sure to be safe and exercise common sense.


This should be a simple and straight-forward cache to find. This area isn't the most desirable of places, I know this going into this. I do not forsee a homeless camp being set-up any time soon. If you're concerned about the "no parking" sign, don't park there at the end of the cul-de-sac. Plenty of other places to park nearby that aren't directly in front of the aforementioned sign.

NOTE
Once you find the cache and open the container, there is an inner-container that's shaped like a washing machine. The log book is in the smaller inner-container and that is the place to put coins and smaller travel bugs that may get "lost" in the larger space of the container.

Rules? Yup-yup-yup, there are five of those...

1.) Stretch your body, breathe in the fresh air and (hopefully)have fun finding.

2.) Take as many travelers as you can help travel towards their goal. No goal stated? Take it and drop it somewhere along your way to "there". There is no minimum occupancy and trackable items were never meant to be "trade" items, such as swag.

3.) IF you take a trackable item, please do the following:
Log it out. Move it to another cache. Log it in. (Simple, huh?)

4.) As a personal courtesy if you can, please note in your log online which travelers were present
A simple example of a log that does this could be the following:
Saw: Cootie traveler
Took: Grover TB and Shaggy, Scooby & Velma coin
Left: nothing but my signature
