Silver and Gold TB Hotel and Resort Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

GoofyButterfly: TB Hotel is Gone. It appears that is has been extreme vandalized. This hotel was about as secure as we thought you could possibly get. It was secured to a tree with one chain and a key lock, and locked with another chain and padlocked with a combination lock to get into. Apparently someone used bolt cutters to cut it from the tree. One chain was still around the tree but the ammo can and all the contents are unfortunately gone. We aplogize to any TB owners who lost their TBs in our hotel. We are deeply saddened by this occurence. This is why we had all the safety measures in place. Not because it was in an unsafe area, just to try to insure this type of thing did not occur, but we guess no matter what measure you take you can ever gaurentee that a cache won't disappear. So Silver and Gold is no More. Thanks to all of you who took the time to visit.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Easy cache, almost a park and grab. Easy access to make moving Travel Bugs along a mid-spring Florida breeze.


 

****** The TB Hotel is up and ready to move storm weary TBs on their way!!! The site of the Hotel is still storm worn, so please be careful. If you see hints that anything may happen, please let us know so we can move the TBs to a safe haven.******

Make new friends,
But keep the old,
One is Silver,
And the other is Gold

True not only for Geocacher's but for TB's as well. Making memories, meeting new friends and sharing with old makes the sport of Geocaching what it is today.

Help TB's meet new friends, maybe bump into old acquaintances, and travel to their goals. Help create memories for them and all who meet them.

RESORT RULES!!!
* At least 4 guests must remain checked in at all times.
* Non Bugs are allowed to check in as long as they are friends to Bugs; however, all guests must register at time of entry.

TB

The Newest Florida TB Resort is unique to the area as this Resort is on stilts. The resort has a natural swimming pool in the back during rainy season. The Resort has Florida flora all around the grounds. Please help keep the hotel covered with the surrounding flora. This is of upmost importance to keep the Bugs safe and secure during their stay. For the comfort of our guests and future travellers, we have included new rooms (zip loc baggies) so they keep warm and clean. If at all possible, if a guest does not have a goal sheet accompanying them, please print one out and send it along with the TB. It is hard for future cachers to help them realize their goals if they do not know what they are!

There are many local activites that the bugs can enjoy while staying at the Silver and Gold Hotel and Resort. Jet Ski and boat rental at Fisherman's Village. And of course there is the tourist trap shopping here as well. This is a must do for any TB who wants to take souveniers home with them. Deep sea fishing is also available, but bugs must be cautious so they do not end up as bait on these tours. This is just a few of the exciting opportunies awaiting all Bugs who venture here.

Please enjoy your stay and happy traveling!!!

A circle is round,
That never ends,
And that's how long,
I'm gonna be your friend.

(We placed this cache in honor of all the wonderful friends we have made while geocaching. Some of these friends we have not even met face to face yet. Geocaching is a wonderful way to make the world a small and welcoming place again.)

There is a Security Guard at the front of the Resort (to deter rif-raf) and you must have the pass code to get in. The passcode is the year this cache was planted.

The TB Resort was planted here with permission from the Cacher Hotel and Resort Management and security. Cachers are welcomed by General Manager Jae to stop in and say hello, or he would be happy to look after your needs if you are weary from your travels as well.
