Ramblers Hostel Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

yumitori: Thanks to wildfire1 for assisting in the requested removal. With the container no longer in place, I'm sadly forced to archive this listing. I'll look into relocating it to a friendlier spot. Any remaining travelers will be sent on their way.

Geocache Description:

Located in the Grant Creek Natural Area, a short walk from street parking.

The ammo can is located at the listed coordinates. The puzzle lies in figuring out how to open it.


It's been quite some time since Missoula has had a travel bug hotel, so I've placed one a short ways off the Interstate-90 Reserve Street exit.

While I have taken steps to hopefully ensure a long life for the container at this location, it is a very popular walking area and close to homes with young children. Be sure to return everything back to exactly how you found it. There's also plenty of material available in the general area to disguise its hiding place.
