Geocache Description:

The coordinates listed above are for parking. The cache is located off the X-country trails in a recreation area directly behind Parkland Hospital in the town of Derry, New Hampshire.

*** Only one Travel Bug remains. I will archive this cache if #4 goes missing. Get it while you can! ***

Before you venture out to find this cache, you will first need to obtain one of five Travel Bugs.The 5 Travel Bugs will be dropped off on Sunday, February 8, 2004 at the Winter Wander GEO-meet in Massachusetts.Each travel bug has the coordinates for the final cache written on the back of the bug. In order to complete this cache, you will first have to track down one of the five “You will need a Bug” TBs. Please re-hide the TB in a geocache (a different cache than the one you picked it up) close by so the next interested cacher can get the coordinates (sorry, no handing it to a cacher. You must deposit the bug in a cache to get credit for a find). Please DO NOT hide your TB in the “You Will Need a Bug!” cache.

Sorry - dogs are not allowed.

Please do not give the final cache coordinates to another geocacher who has not found one of the five TBs as that would be cheating and I would have to delete his or her log.

*** Update February 11, 2004 ***

Thanks to feedback from the FTF (NH Moose), I went to check my coordinates. I had to wait for about 10 minutes for the GPS to settle only to discover the original coordinates were off. With the clue on the bugs this still should be an easy find; however, you may want to:

Subtract .020 from the North coordinate

Add .010 to the West coordinate

Feedback from woodysix8 had me re-think the difficulty level. I thought the travel bugs would be more difficult to find. Reduced to a 2.5.
