Geocache Description:

A TB Inn for those TB's which need to move to other places...

THIS IS NOT AN EASY FIND. PLAN ON SPENDING SOME TIME LOOKING FOR THIS ONE. THAT IS DONE INTENTIONALLY. We have added an extra hint for those whom need it, all you have to do is decode.

This is a little trickier than our other hides... being for the most part urban cachers (we do rural when the chance permits itself, but mostly urban) we found that there was a lack of places where we could leave TB's for the starts of their world journeys... the middle munchkin was getting worried that we would never release his into the wild... so we decided that Colwood needed it's own TB Inn to allow for exchange of Trackables to carry on their journeys to the wilds out there... but where to put it where people could get to it, along with making it relatively accessible for the munchkins to release TB's and follow their journeys...

We happened to be in the neighborhood today trying to find porchlizards "Lizard's Roach Motel" (which was an adventure in itself) along with Mushroom Doom's "No Work Zone" (which we are kicking ourselves because we came the wrong way). A quick check of the App showed us nothing else in this neighborhood other than D-Tour's "AH! You Gotta Be Kidding Me Cache" so we said why not... a hike on some not so well laid out deer paths and a quick check of the GPS and here we are.

Cache is an black spray painted ammo can at ground level... You can see the bridge from the cache location, however it is not at the bridge. Please don't be fooled by the bridge reference in the title. Also, it would be difficult to find at night as it blends well in the shadows.

Please use this cache as intended to either launch TB's or drop TB's whom need to continue on their journeys. A small bag of non trackables are in this cache for the kids, but make sure that the original purpose is kept in mind... We plan on dropping in as well to pick up TB's which may need an overseas vacation on occasion.

For those whom need a quick lesson on what to do with TravelBugs, take a look at this article by Groundspeak...http://blog.geocaching.com/2010/11/groundspeak-weekly-mailer-november-24-2010/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=trackableetiquette&utm_campaign=9-19-12

To start, we have placed 2 TB's ready to travel - Just a Bunny Looking for a Carrot, and Lumberjack Needs a Vacation. If you need more of a hint, message us and we will provide. We have set up one more hint out there to make it easier for those whom need it... But take up the challenge to find it first... everyone says it blends in well. PLEASE REHIDE AS FOUND TO MAKE IT AS CHALLENGING FOR THE NEXT PERSON.

CONGRATS TO HOPSNBARLEY, JASnJOANnRUPERT AND DOG_CACHERS FOR A JOINT FTF.

Enjoy!
