Found it in "Crappy Hotel" as per the last log. As found, it was in the same bag as one of three log books in the cache, and this logbook was wet and moldy, leaving this bug in a similar shape. I could tell it has been here a long time, and probably why so many other finders overlooked it. So I definitely had to grab and get it going again.
It's looking a little better as it dried out in my home overnight. The glued on paper message is not readable anymore, and the hand-written id numbers could use freshening up. I'll do what I can to give it some TLC without affecting its overall character, then see where "south" lies for it.
