Bug Acceleration Zone Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

PaperBlob: This one's not coming back. If I can find a suitable spot in the same area, maybe there will be a Bug Acceleration Zone II.

Thanks to all who visited, and my apologies to those who lost bugs in the muggling.

Geocache Description:

Easy to find, and it won't delay your trip much. Gas and food right on the way to the cache site. Very easy return to the Turnpike and 295.


Bug Acceleration Zone

It’s not a pretty spot.

It’s not an interesting spot.

But it should be a great spot for a Travel Bug Motel.

Mount Laurel gets more than its fair share of travelers. They pass through on I-295, the NJ Turnpike, and Route 73. They stay in the 20 or so motels located near the Route 73 exits for both of the highways. They come here to work and shop, and make pit stops to buy gas and eat. A lot of them probably aren't from around here. Add it all up and you get a fine place to move along those TBs you've been holding on to, or find new ones to take with you.

The Cache:

The cache is an ammo can hidden at a surprisingly secluded spot. Use stealth when entering the area where the cache is hidden; once you're in, you shouldn't attract any attention. During the growing season it can be a weedy bushwhack to the cache, complete with poison ivy and wild raspberries, but the cache site is clean. Be careful if you're in shorts, or all dressed up, or if it's wet out.

The Rules:

For bugs that have a specific mission: You don't have to put a bug in to take one of these out, BUT please take this type of bug if and only if you can help it achieve its goal. It’s OK to take more than one, as long as you can help them all.

For bugs that have no mission or just want to go anywhere: Please trade this type of bug one for one. If you don’t have any bugs like this to trade, then please take only one.

As long as you follow these two rules, don’t worry about taking the last bug in the cache. It’s OK for the cache to be empty sometimes.

Other Stuff:

  • Signature items are most welcome! Please use the marked baggie.
  • As a courtesy to other cachers, please log bugs in and out on gc.com as soon as possible.
  • Please log your first visit as a find, and subsequent visits as notes.
  • If you take a bug that's not logged in (on gc.com) to the cache, please don't grab it from the other cacher's inventory - give the cacher who put it there the chance to log the bug in and take credit for the move. That cacher may be on vacation without internet access, and will most probably log it in when they get home.

 

Directions:

If you're exiting Route 295 or the NJ Turnpike, take Route 73 south. Make a U-turn at Howard Boulevard (don't worry, it's legal there), then go north on Route 73 a bit and turn right into the parking lot.
