Geocache Description:

A TB Motel in honor of a lost cache classic.
Cache is a camo Pelican Micro case.
Big enough for small items and small travel bugs.

The original intent of this cache was the honor the memory of what was once the oldest cache in New York City: seE Y0u (GC30E).
This cache is located approximately in the same vicinity of seE Y0u.
I originally placed the cache at approximately the same location as the first seE Y0u. But due to circumstances beyond my control I was unable to do this.
Thus I relocated the cache further away, but in the same area of seE Y0u. Again due to circumstances beyond my control I was unable to do that.
I relocated the cache yet again and further away from original seE Y0u spot that now when I say "vicinity" I mean its in the same park.
Hence the new name of The Formally Known as seE Y0u Memorial TB Motel


The original seE Y0u cache was hidden by the legendary Original Colonist: caChe_nInJa

caChe_nInJa hid his first cache in 11/19/00 6 months after the first ever cache was placed on 5/3/00.

caChe_nInJa was known for his uniqe cache placements. He is considered a legend in the caching community. Sadly of caChe_nInJa original NYC caches only 4quA5 (GC12AF) is left.

In honor of caChe_nInJa and his work as NYC original colonist this cache was created.

The first seE Y0u was hidden in 2/18/01.
5 months prior to 4quA5.

It was last found 1/9/05 and despite the efforts of several in the caching community to keep it alive, seE Y0u was locked sometime in 2005. However, some have claimed to have seen it years later, it is now considered lost.
We listed as a way point the original location of seE Y0u. The motel contains a log, marble, Rock of Ages button, GPS lanyard, a Garmin coin (NON TRACKABLE). There is a brand spanking new NEVER REGISTERED Travel Bug for FTF. Also left a Geico Travel tag with a goal of hitting every major city in North America.
While there is a low muggle factor, there is evidence of muggles being in the area. Please hide it the way you found it. Use stealth when necessary.

Come see a spot of NYC caching history, while you are here pick up or leave a TB.
Congrats to schbus86 on his hatrick! FTF all 3 of my caches!!! There still a brand spanking new TB there for the next finder!
