Geocache Description:

Zitherin' Zeus' TravelBug Hotel is hidden in a regular lock'n'lock type container. Terrain is pretty easy, but not wheelchair accessible. NOT accessible from the interstate, and no need to pull more than a few feet off the road.
Please cover ZZ back up when you are done!

This is a zany zigzaggy cache but no zip-loc zombies will be found; just a metal zoocytium…no, not zinc. You might say “Zestful Zoodikers!” when you find it in this zygological zone between the interstate and the frontage road. It’s doubtful that you’ll zee---um, see---any zizels or zitellas, but a zizyphus or two might be encountered. Won’t need zugs or zamarras, either. Though cachers often feel like zeks, when the cache is found a zappy zambra will enzue….errr, ensue.

Please replace cache and recover carefully to ensure that this will stay here a long time!

Initially loaded with Phasered Captain Kirk TB and some misc. swag....and there's a $5.00 Chick-fil-a gift card for FTF!

*****Congrats to cruisingroove and sc-kayaking for a joint FTF!!*****

==================================

A quick TB tutorial if you are new to geocaching! (abbreviated from http://www.geocaching.com/track/travelbugfaq.aspx)
A Travel Bug (TB) is a trackable tag that is attached to an item. This allows the owner to track the item on Geocaching.com. The item becomes a hitchhiker that is carried from cache to cache (or person to person) in the real world and has its progress followed online.
Some TBs have specific missions to travel to a certain location (a country or state), or to have their picture taken someplace special or to seen with certain items (such as with a fire truck, or at a baseball field). Other TBs have no task at all and just travel!
Each TB has its own unique tracking number stamped on it. This tracking number is used as proof by the user that they found the item. It also doubles as a way for the user to locate the personal web page for the travel bug. TBs are tracked with the help of users who go online and "grab" them from caches, or receive them from users. The idea is by picking up and dropping off TBs on the web site you are mirroring the Bug's real world adventures. Each Travel Bug has its own "diary" that follows its movements.
If you find a TB that you’d like to move along, feel free to take it—you don’t need to leave a TB in order to take one! Just be sure to do three things:
1. Don’t take it and hold it...move it along to another cache! Most owners want their TBs to move, so if you plan on holding onto the bug for more than a few days, make sure to send a courtesy email to the owner letting them know the reason.
2. Look at the TBs’ mission and see if you can support it. If it wants to move south and you are travelling north, leave it for someone else!
3. Be sure to log your visit and “retrieve” the TB at this cache site on geocaching.com, and “place” the TB at the destination cache. (When you log it, just record the name of the TB and do NOT record the tracking number!)
You can get more details on geocaching.com, or feel free to contact us (JustFolks) via email if you have questions. Thanks and Happy Caching! ==================================
