Travel Bug Central Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cache-advance: Hi Team Alpenglow,

This cache was originally a traditional cache. When a cache box disappears or is intentionally removed by the owner, as it appears is the case here, the options are to archive the listing or to replace the box.

If the cache meets the requirements for virtual cache I would be more than happy to review a new submission for a virtual, but it is unfair to the finders of this cache that found it as a traditional to have credit for a virtual.

Please feel free to submit a new cache report for this cache as a virtual cache if it meets the requirements for a virtual listed here:

Thanks for the understanding.

Happy Geocaching!

Geocache Description:

Easy find. Being retained only because so many tags on TBs have this website location listed on them.

Travel Bug Central was intended as a 'hotel' for TBs. More like a spa really, since we were cleaning them up, tagging them with descriptions of their goals, and bagging them in nice new bags.
Team Alpenglow thought that a trade of one-for-one was best for a continual turnaround, but the figure of 20 TBs seems to have caused some concern amongst some cachers.
However you may feel about this issue, the work involved weekly checks (sometimes more often), printing, and laminating, and cleaning. This was okay, as long as everyone was happy.
Unfortunately, we were not prepared to deal with complaints and have simply shut down the cache as a regular cache, making arrangements for the TBs to go elsewhere.
Thanks go out to everyone who wished us well, and thought we were doing a good job. It was fun while it lasted.
Team Alpenglow

Please e-mail (via these links) the number placed on this virtual cache at chest height on a small tag on a round cylindrical object, in order to verify your 'find'.
