"We'll Leave the Light On" TB Motel Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Troglodyte: The light is no longer on [:(]

We had heard earlier this week that there was construction beginning near the motel. Unfortunately we were out of town and couldn't check on it. We returned and hurried to the motel, only to find that the bulldozers had already been there and destroyed the motel and its occupants.

All TB owners have been notified of the loss.

The search is on for suitable property for new motel construction.

Geocache Description:

THIS IS A TRAVEL BUG ONLY CACHE - There are no items for trade in the cache. PLEASE DO NOT PICK UP TRAVEL BUGS IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO HELP THEM ON THEIR WAY!

'We’ll Leave the Light On’ is an inexpensive, clean, safe, and friendly motel located along Interstate 45 just north of Houston, TX, to help Travel Bugs, Hitchhikers, Where's George Dollars, and Geocoins migrate around the country.

The “We’ll Leave the Light On Motel” rules:

1. All bugs must register upon entering the hotel. There is a log-book in the hotel for this purpose. It's OK to stop by and pick up a bug without leaving one, if you can help it on its journey. When you leave a travel bug, print the bug's page and place it in a Ziploc bag with the bug, or write its goal in the log book so that people can decide which bug to take. Please do not take ALL the travel bugs.

2. Only travel bugs are allowed in the hotel, this cache is for the sole purpose of getting travel bugs to their destinations.

3. Log your first visit to the hotel as a "Found" and any subsequent visits to the cache to drop off or pick up other travel bugs as a "Note."

4. Human visitors are permitted. Be sure to sign the motel register on your first visit.

The motel is only a short walk from the parking area. It's acceptable to stop by to pick up a bug without leaving one, if you can help it on its voyage. It's permissible to take more than one if you can genuinely help the hitchhiker on its journey, however please do not take ALL the travel bugs. Let everyone have a chance to participate.

This cache is easily accessible to travelers on Interstate 45, both north and south bound. If heading north on I45, exit at Gladstell. cross over the interstate on Gladstell and proceed south on the feeder road. If southbound, exit at the Loop 336 exit and proceed south on the feeder road. To return to I45 north, make a U-turn under the interstate at Loop 336 and continue north to the first ramp. If heading south, return to the feeder road and continue across Loop 336 to the first entrance ramp. Easy off/easy on from either direction! Parking is available just across the road from the motel.
