This travel bug contains the coordinates of the Thoreau Hitchhiker geocache. Only those that find this TB know these coordinates! There is a Thoreau Hitchhiker geocache web page but it contains dummy coordinates so you must find the TB to find the cache. The mission is to travel around New England providing coordinates serendipitously of a great place to visit. Thoreau_Hitchhiker_Geocache_webpage: (visit link)
This geocache is different than any other we have seen and has its origins in a similar "Letter Boxing" setup. With this geocache, no coordinates are given on the Internet. Instead, the coordinates are placed in an existing, host geocache (chosen arbitrarily) and then Hitchhike from one existing host geocache site to another, moved by the last person to find the Hitchhiker coordinates. Only those that are lucky enough to find an existing, host geocache with the Hitchhiker coordinates in the host cache box get to also find the Hitchhiker cache site! (which does not change position). The cache is in the New England area, so please don't move the TB too far from its actual cache coordinates.
This cache was originally put into place 4/1/2001 and has operated without a "Travel Bug" attached to the cache coordinate packet. I have attached a "Travel Bug" to the packet to make the logging of the TB easier and to be able to show the caches that the TB coordinate packet has visited.

Came to the Witch Tree Cache to find this trackable. Got the coordinates for the Thoreau Hitchhiker cache. Now just need to have time when I am in the vicinity! I left the trackable in the cache.

I read a previous logger’s note that this was on the ground. I was with the cacher who dropped it and it fit in the CC and she properly closed it. Since then, other TBs have been added, which makes it difficult for it to fit. I retrieved one
other TB and took some small miscellaneous items and put it safely back in the CC.
