First cache in a series; Travel Bug Adventures!
Is your travel bug tired of traveling from hotel to hotel?
Spice up the journey with a visit to a travel bug adventures
destination!
At this adventure stop, travel bugs will be treated to rock
climbing, and exploration of cliffside caves!
Please wear appropriate footwear for climbing uneven and rocky
areas. You are looking for a camouflaged ammo can.
Please place back as found, cache should not be visible from the
road!
No special climbing gear will be needed, just please be safe and
careful!
Please feel free to take and post photos of yourself and/or your
team members, with the cache and whatever swag & Travel Bugs
that happen to be there when you visit!
This is meant to be a somewhat challenging, but fun family find,
not a super-secret crazy-hard trek through the woods... This is
almost just a park and find, as this is simply a road cut with some
really nice hidey holes, we just found a really nice one that
should provide a bit of adventure.
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO LOG ANY TRAVEL BUGS PROMPTLY!

You may take or leave any travel bugs you find in a cache but you
are REQUIRED to follow the official rules for logging them:

How to use a Travel Bug
A Travel Bug is usually a dog tag that is attached to a
"hitchhiker," or an item that travels from place to place. If you
found a Travel Bug the first thing you need to do is "grab" it
online so you can add your own story to its journey. Refer to the
FAQ for answers to other questions not covered on this page.
Step 1. Get the Tracking Number
Example of Tracking NumberIn order to log your find and "grab" the
Travel Bug, you first need to locate the Bug's tracking number. The
number is normally on the dog tag that is attached to the item, or,
in the case of Geocoins, is stamped on the item somewhere. Make
sure to write this number down before dropping the item in another
cache. You'll need it to locate and "grab" the Bug online.
Step 2. Visit the Travel Bug's Page
Each Travel Bug has its own web page. To visit the Bug's page,
either go to the cache page for the geocache where you found the
Bug and look for the Trackable in the inventory list, or visit the
Travel Bug home page and use the search tool. To use the search
tool, enter the tracking number in the supplied box and click the
search button.
Step 3. Found it? Log it!
Once you reach the Travel Bug listing, you will need to write a log
to let the owner know that you found it. By logging the find you
are also 'grabbing' the Travel Bug and putting it in your account's
online inventory. This will ultimately allow you to drop the Travel
Bug in another cache.
If the Travel Bug is listed as being in a cache, you will have two
options, retrieving it or grabbing it. If you took it from the
cache in which it is listed, choose to retrieve it. If you took the
Travel Bug from elsewhere, choose to grab it. Both logs require the
tracking number, so keep the tracking number handy for the Bug you
plan to log.
Once you have successfully grabbed or retrieved the Travel Bug, it
will remain in your online inventory until someone else grabs it
from you or you place it in a cache.
Dropping off a Travel Bug
Once you log that you have retrieved or grabbed a Travel Bug, you
can drop it into a cache. The cache listing acts as a virtual
container allowing you to indicate that you have placed the Travel
Bug in the physical cache.
If the Travel Bug has a goal, please try to follow the goal as best
as you can. If the goal is to move the Travel Bug to the west
coast, don't put the travel bug in a cache farther east.
Step 1. Visit the Cache Listing
Visit the cache listing for the cache in which you placed the
Travel Bug. If you already logged your find, don't panic! You can
still post another log note.
Step 2. Visit the "log a cache" Page
As you normally log a find, click on the link to log the cache. You
will need to log in first.
Step 3. Select the travel bugs to drop off
After entering the text for your find, scroll down to see a list of
Travel Bugs in your inventory. Using the dropdown menu, select
either "dropped off" to leave a travel bug in the cache, or
"visited" to record a visit while still retaining possession of the
travel bug. Once you are ready, click the button to submit your
log.
