Terry Fox Travel Bug Hotel


This cache is set up for those travel bugs and geocoins that need a safe place to relax and wait for the next traveler to come by and help them along. This cache is a USA Military Ammo Can started off with a bunch of bugs and geocoins and some local Thunder Bay swag. NOTE: This cache is not always available during winter months depending on the amount of snow in the area. This location is one of my annual favorite stops for lunch and pictures. There are picnic tables and an excellent visitor's center nearby so cachers have a spot to learn a little about the area and enjoy some scenic views of Thunder Bay's Sleeping Giant and see the cache namesake Terry Fox Monument.


Here's a little more detail on this site: The eastern edge of Thunder Bay is the site for one of the most poignant monuments in Canada, the Terry Fox Memorial. This memorial offers a breathtaking view overlooking the Sleeping Giant. A 9-foot high bronze rendering of Terry Fox stands on a 45-ton granite base laid on a foundation of local amethyst.
The cross-Canada Marathon of Hope undertaken by this courageous young man ended near Thunder Bay when his cancer flared again. Terry Fox continues to be an inspiration for people, young and old as a Terry Fox Run is held in communities across Canada each year in September to raise funds for cancer.
The Visitor Center is located beside the Memorial. Follow Hwy 11/17 (Thunder Bay Expressway) 1 km east of Hodder Ave.
