Geocache Description:

A convenient place for Waterloo's Travel Bugs to hitch a ride.

Placed very close to the Elk Run Heights Truck stop, this cache is here to provide the Travel Bugs of Waterloo with a great way to do some serious road tripping! This is a large ammo can, placed just a short walk from the exit ramp in a pile of branches, under a small bit of camo netting.
I wanted to place a cache close to a major highway, where it could get more exposure to cachers from out of town who are coming to (or through) Waterloo, IA in the hopes that we can stimulate the flow of trackable items through town.

Sadly, there is not a convenient "official" parking space nearby, unless you want you park at the Flying J and walk across the bridge. I just pull off to the side of the road just past the off-ramp.

Special thanks to Team M.A.N. for helping this cache off by bringing a load of TB's to help fill it with! Cachers, please remember the take one/leave one rule, so that others can find something here, too.
