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.

Sorry to say your trackable was not in the travel bug hotel when I visited today. Please mark it missing from the trackable's page on geocaching.com so other cachers don't come looking for it. I hope it turns up in another cache someday!
