Current Goal

The purpose of this travel bug is to share my passion for puzzles. There is no particular travel agenda other than to remain in circulation. You should attempt to solve the puzzle while it is in your possession, and put it back to it's original state before placing it in the next cache. When you drop it off in a new cache, please indicate in your log if you were successful in solving the puzzle, or not.

The Object of the Bed Bug is to Free the Long Handle piece from the rest of the puzzle, and then to put it back on again. It is considered to be a Medium level of difficulty. No force is required. See the pictures for what it should look like solved, and not solved. If you post pictures of the puzzle, please do not allow the registration number to show in the photo.

Scooped this out of Waterford's Multi Cache, and I've got PumpkinOneA working on solving it.
Will drop it off at another cache next weekend.

Whoever last solved this puzzle obviously cheated and also put it back incorrectly. The piece you are supposed to remove was aroudn both lower bars and not just the lower one as all the pictures show. I had to get out the pliers to put it correctly together. Now Ellesche and I can finally try to solve that which now is no longer impossible.

Walking through the cache area last evening on a pitch-black moonless night...what a great time to be out caching. Visited the cache and noted the Travel bugs visiting. Decided to move one of them along and virtually log the rest. Great night to be out...
