Sunport Bugport West Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Grasshoppers&Ant: Gone, but a great run! 267 finds over 33 months, 270 TBs/coins logged, 4 different locations, and 3 lost ammo cans.Thanks to all that visited, even those who complained about the trash left by those who stopped to live here. No doubt non-citizens, seeking a better life. Kind of put things in perspective.

Geocache Description:

Another ammo can cache for travelers and others to trade TBs.

Our first attempt at an airport TB layover spot, Sunport Bugport, only lasted six months. The previous cache over there, Helodriver's Travelbug Sunport, lasted 3 years. Don’t know what changed, but we suspect the workers from the nearby yard may have noticed the activity.

No more caches over there on airport property, so hopefully one over here will thrive. There's nothing much nearby, but people probably don't come up here often and you may look a bit out-of-place.

There's a driveway off University Blvd, but approach from the south or down Yale. University from Gibson dead ends. Quick & easy I-25 on-off access at Sunport exit.

9/14/06: Be careful parking on the road near the cache. The sand has softened up with all the rain and you may end up stuck!
11/10/06: Replaced stolen cache. A bit harder to get to and see now (upped ratings). Please replace and re-cover to keep it hidden.
2/3/07: If you can see the cache clearly visible when you go to leave, then you didn't cover it enough. Please help us avoid another 'theft'!
4/17/07: Added "Snakes" to attributes due to log report. We may have to remove the "kid friendly". Please tread carefully!
6/28/07: Moved it 295' south to accommodate someone's temporary residence. Please hide well and let us know if they've moved on.
7/19/07: The gate on the 'driveway' has been closed and locked. Still pedestrian accessible. Summer resident still there.
9/8/07: Moved back 295' north. 3 coins and a TB were not there as logged. Please log them or don't take them! This is becoming annoyingly chronic. Thanks.
10/31/07: Moved away from the homeless resident (yes, an oxymoron); now a bit farther from the road.
12/26/07: Cache check. Had to mark 3 more TBs as MIA. Please...
10/25/08: Replaced and returned to a previous hiding place. Many thanks to rapprapp for the new can!
