Geocache Description:

This is an easy to find, easy to do cache in a residential area. The purpose is to help "travelers" on their way as fast as possible.


If you are leaving town to a distant place, check the Hotel out online to see who is booked in.  Maybe there is someone that wants to travel with you. 

If you are returning to the area why not book a traveler in to the Hotel for a few days. 

If you have one of those travelers with you that you have not been able to place somewhere, then book it in to the Hotel for someone else to move along.

Rule 1: Please record your visit in the Hotel Visitors Book, even if you are coming back again.

Rule 2: When booking a "Traveler" in to the Hotel please try and attach a "travel plan" to it that indicates what it's current goals are. If possible, please put each "traveler" in it's own room (zip lock) with it's travel plans.

Rule 3: Place the traveler in the right place in the hotel (the plastic container that matches the goal the best)

Rule 4: You can book out as many "travelers" as you like, but only if you will help them towards their goal.  This cache is not to collect "travelers", but move them along.

Rule 5: Pay the Hotel bill by leaving your calling card and/or some SWAG.

NOTE: To get the key for the padlock, stand with your back to the cache and look across the road to the house with the white wall. Look for the number 213. Walk to the number and feel behind number 3 for the key. Please be careful when retrieving the key and try not to look too suspicious... When done please replace the key as you found it.(We have the permission of the owner)

If for some reason the key is missing you can get the spare key. Look at the base of the pole that the cache container is attached to. Remove some of the pebbles and dirt on the back of the pole until you get the key, it is attached to the pole with a magnet. If you have to use the spare key please place it behind the "3" in the street number across the road and let the cache owner know.
