Geocache Description:

This Travel Bug Hotel was placed, with permission, a short distance off Highway 20.  You are encouraged to trade TBs and geocoins as this is along a major east-west highway.  This should be an easy find but you will need to know the combination to open the lock.  Make sure that you spin the dials and check to see if the lock is secure after finding this cache in order to keep it safe from muggles.

The cache is an ammo can hidden a short distance off Highway 20.  U.S. Route 20 (US 20) is an east–west United States highway. The "0" in its route number indicates that US 20 is a coast-to-coast route. Spanning 3,365 miles, it is the longest road in the United States, and the route roughly parallels that of Interstate 90. However, since numbered US routes are not designated as such within the boundaries of national parks, Yellowstone National Park technically splits the route into two sections.
It and US 30 break the general U.S. Route numbering rules in Oregon, since US 30 actually starts north of US 20 and runs parallel to the north throughout the state. The two overlap and continue in the "correct" positioning near Caldwell, Idaho. This is because US 20 was not a planned coast-to-coast route while US 30 was. US 20 originally ended at the eastern entrance of Yellowstone Park; it was extended in 1940.
The highway's eastern terminus is in Boston, Massachusetts, at Kenmore Square, where it meets Route 2. Its western terminus is in Newport, Oregon, at an intersection with US 101, within a mile of the Pacific Ocean.[
