Geocache Description:

TheWaypointKid’s Travel Bug Motel of Traverse City is back! New and improved and better than ever!! After going through bankruptcy, the original motel was demolished (archived in geocaching terms). An undisclosed investor has since bankrolled the construction of a new motel, cazzino, and spa at a new nearby location.



There is a trail head just west of Olsen's on North Long Lake Road at N44 45.299 W085 39.279. You can find the cache about 1/8 of a mile from the trail head. The cache is a large Tupperware canister wrapped in camouflage tape that is large enough to hold a loaf of bread. That’s a lot of room for travel bugs in geocaching terms!

Please leave this cache as well hidden as you found it.


CACHE LYRICS

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the cache
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the WaypointKid’s Travel Bug Hotel, Cazzino and Spa
Such a lovely cache (Such a lovely cache)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the WaypointKid’s Travel Bug Hotel, Cazzino and Spa
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find a cache here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the WaypointKid’s Travel Bug Hotel, Cazzino and Spa
Such a lovely cache (Such a lovely cache)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the WaypointKid’s Travel Bug Hotel, Cazzino and Spa
What a nice surprise (what a nice suprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own cache device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the cache I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
