Geocache Description:

A easy walk up, drop off, spot for travel bugs near motel row in San Luis Obispo, California.

This is a very easy park, walk up, pick up, or drop off spot for travel bugs headed through San Luis Obispo. It's located near the Monterey Street onramp and offramps at the northwest side of town.

We've seen travel bug hotels before - why is this one a motel? Two reasons: 1) Mo-tel means motor hotel. They were designed to have your room feet from your car. 2) San Luis Obispo happens to be home to the first motel in the world! The Motel Inn on Monterey Street, built in 1925, was the first of its kind. It's only fitting that our travel bug lodge is a motel too.

Although the coordinates are not all that far from the 101 Freeway, it would be impossible (not to mention dangerous) to access it by stoping on the freeway, please exit the freeway and follow your GPSr on the city streets.

You are welcome to log this find without taking or leaving travel bugs, but if you do intend on taking a travel bug, please read the travel bug's mission before taking it from the box and only pick one up if you can help it on its way. As always, please take care when replacing the cache, so it'll still be there for the next person. Thanks!

This cache was designed specifically to be a travel bug motel. For this reason we have not left any goodies to start with (so as to allow for maximum vacancy). If you're not into the whole travel bug thing, you're still welcome to log it as an easy find.

NOTE: Please feel free to take travel bugs, but please don't take ALL of them and if you do take one, please log the travel bug on the geocaching website. This has been a pretty good spot for trading and leaving travel bugs, but it only works if people also leave the travel bugs for others too. Thanks!
