Please drop this item in rural OR Premium Member Only caches. Do not place it in an urban cache or abandon it at a caching event. Transport the bug in the original plastic bag for as long as the bag lasts; the bag keeps the trackable clean and prevents tangling with other items. Otherwise, take the travel bug anywhere you wish. No permission is needed to leave the U.S.
Photos in the travel bug logs are appreciated. I will be re-post them here, where they can be seen by other cachers.
This is one of a series of large beads obtained from different places and converted into travel bugs. They are named for Texas towns with interesting names or histories.
Byspot was in southwestern San Jacinto County. The post office, established in 1899, was originally called Teddy. About 1903, however, J. O. H. Bennett changed the community's name to Byspot, a name derived from spelling his wife Topsy's name backwards and adding a B. Bennett also owned and operated a tram railroad at Byspot, an indication that the area was once the site of logging operations. The railroad, which extended to Conroe, was taken over by the Delta Land and Timber Company in 1926. The post office was discontinued in 1921, and the tram road was abandoned in 1931. The community did not appear on 1985 county highway maps or on United States Geological Survey place name lists.

Saw this at Geocoinfest - good luck in your travels. My apologies for any duplicate logs, I was taking down trackable numbers constantly from Thursday - Sunday and may come across the same one more than once.

10/3/15 is a day that shall live in infamy! The residence of Ashland NE and surrounding areas were overwhelmed with the awesomeness that is a Mega event. Geocachers from all over (at least 4 countries and countless states) came to celebrate, learn and of course cache! This trackable was among those present and I thank you greatly for sharing it with me. I hope it has many safe travels and brings the owner mountains of good luck. Until the next time keep on caching my friends!
