Just a note to the owner of this travel bug. I just discovered that I still have Patches. I had placed him in a cache I and placed near out cabin in the UP of MI. We get there about 2-3 times year. I couldn't find anybody to help maintain it for me. So I pulled the cache this last fall. I thought I droped patches in a Bug Hotel on the way back home cuz I had searched everywhere for him wher eI thought I could have placed him. Well I found him in a box where my placed him in a closet. SO I WILL get him dropped off VERY SOON!! Sorry that he has been inactive for so long.
