About This Item

Cucamonga Railroad Cacher - The Travel Bug Limited

As with all railroads, the Travel Bug Limited had a set itinerary and schedule. Unfortunately, the Travel Bug LImited got derailed in July 2005 in California, but has gotten back on track clear across the country in New York.  Yep, go figure that one out.  The Travel Bug Limited wants to take a ride on the scenic railroads anywhere in the United States. Some of the stops scheduled on the way include:

Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad
California Western Skunk Train
Golden Spike National Historic Site
Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad
Black Hills Central Railroad
Mt. Washington Cog Railway
Gettysburg Scenic Railway
Manitou & Pike's Peak Railway

The Travel Bug Limited is a round trip fare, starting in California and ending back in California after it gets to see these famous railways.

This was as far north as we got on our four-day Mojave geocaching adventure, so it seemed like a good spot to let our motorific Bug take a break while we ate lunch at the 'glamorous' Ballarat Porch. What an incredible spot! History buffs should be all over this place, but maybe it's just as well that they aren't. The view from the top of SR 178 heading into Panamint Valley was spectacular! 😁

Starting our second day in the Mojave Desert, our faithful Bug gets to try out the tracks where the big boys play!

The Little Boxcar that Could is awfully tired after such a long day... ~*yaw-aw-awn*~ 😴 This was an incredible messy place for a cache, but the appeal is also understandable. And the desert tortoise was fun to watch 😁 Now let's go to the roundhouse for some down-time...

NO! Please don't put me in that box in that green hole in the ground!! And don't put that flat rock over me!! 😮 A railroad car's gotta roll! Oh, whew! Boy, I'm sure glad you changed your mind. 🙂 That sure is an interesting geocache container, though, I must say.

A railroad TB on a railroad without any rails? Preposterous! 😮 Still, this was a wonderful hide and a nice place for a simple RR bug to get a feel for what it's predecessors experienced decades ago. 'Hear that lonesome whistle blow...'
