Recently, travelers may have received the following message
regarding some fee changes and expansion of service for two of our
airlines. Unfortunately, the message had some errors regarding the
numbers given. The printing office here at TBA switched the numbers
around so that each and every number was consistently substituted
by another number. Unfortunately, we printed so many it would not
be cost effective to recall or reprint this notice. However with a
little logic, we are confident our travelers will be able to cipher
through our mistakes.
Merger between Airlines
North and West Airlines have recently merged to provide more
accurate delivery to our travelers. Part of this merger has
resulted in the addition of fees to your current delivery services.
Effective as of the moment you read this, these will include a
mileage fee and a weight fee. North and West will be charging 70
cents per mile traveled. So, if you are traveling 518 miles, your
fee would be as follows.
518 x 70 = 6270
Also, if your total baggage weight is over ten thousand grams
you will be charged a fee. NOTE: This is for total weight of
baggage. An example of being over this limit is if you have two
bags and one weighs 6481 grams and the other weighs 3294 grams.
Your total baggage would be as follows:
6481 + 3294 = 32847
Where We Stand:
North Airlines was started two years ago with absolutely no
capitol. With a bank account of $0, the owner served the 2 roles of
Chief Pilot and Stewardess. That first flight of 3 travel bugs from
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to Indianapolis, Indiana was complete on
7/7/4. From there, this small 2-bit start-up dominated the domestic
market, becoming the smart choice for travelers looking for a deal
with zero headaches.
West Airlines has been traveling the world for 29 years serving
a growing number of traveling objects. With over 47 hubs across the
globe, this airline was the premier international service, meeting
the needs of customers in 5 different countries. In '03, West
decided to look to the domestic market and completed its search
recently when it merged with North which will be completed in 9
months time.
Together, we hope to get you and your Travel Bugs where you want
to go!
A message from the Department of Geocache Security
In order to maintain the security of the Travel Bug Airport, the
Department of Geocache Security has instituted the following
rules:
- All Travel Bugs should have proper documentation. If they do
not, they will not be approved for travel until the proper
paperwork is made. All Travel Bugs should be placed in a Ziploc bag
so as to prevent it from mixing with the other bag of liquids that
may be traveling with the same carrier.
- All Travel Bugs and Coins either departing or arriving must be
declared by filling in the log book and online form. Any Travel
Bugs and Coins that have not been declared will make their owners
very sad.
- Dropping off or loading Travel Bugs or Coins may only be
performed in the loading zone. Loading zone coordinates have been
hidden in the above puzzle to ensure the security of our
passengers. NOTE: The posted co-ords are NOT for the cache
location. They are also NOT part of the puzzle. Location is within
five miles of posted coords.
From the TBA, remember to travel safe, avoid coin thieves and
muggles, and arrive on time.
