TH&G: This cache has gone missing. I will think about setting up a new TB depot in a couple of weeks at a different location. Sorry to lose those bugs though.

Geocache Description:

A Travel Bug Depot for the Black Hills of South Dakota.

This depot was placed as an exchange of travel bugs only for the many cachers passing through the Black Hills of South Dakota.

THIS CACHE IS TO HAVE A MINIMIUM OF TWO TRAVEL BUGS IN IT AT ALL TIMES. If you come to take a travel bug, please leave one also. The Rule is placed so everyone has a chance to pick up a fresh new travel bug for them as they are leaving one behind.

We have experienced these type of travel bug caches in our trips across the west, and we thought to place one near our second home to help pass along the travel bugs that we pick up on our caching trips.

Initially I wanted a quick on and off cache off of I-90, but there was just too much traffic, people, and homes around so we headed up into the hills some.

The cache depot is near exit 51 of Interstate 90 in Black Hawk. After leaving I-90 go south on SD 79 for a short distance to the Peaceful Pines Road near the Wells Fargo Bank and Peaceful Pines Plaza.

Peaceful Pines Road goes west up into the hills. The road climbs and winds up into the hills becoming a nice little motorcycle ride and road. No homes or people should be around you eventually. It is at the edge of a Wildlife Wintering Area.
