A 5-Star Hotel for Travel Bugs...

After several weeks of construction, Jimmy was ready to install his upgraded geocache. Instead of just a simple ice cream container, he’d upgraded to a big fancy box with lights. He was inspired to build a bigger and better geocache after finding the box next to the garbage bins at the apartments next door. He then worked on building the infrastructure, which included reinforcing a pretty large hole with cement blocks, and wiring the LED lights above the “rooms” which he hopes get filled up with travel bugs.

Soon after the upgrade was completed, the rave reviews started appearing on the geocache website and it started earning “favorites,” which then attracts even more geocachers; so far there have been around 120 visitors. Only die-hard geocachers who pay for a premium membership can declare favorites, so already having over 25 favorites is quite an honor. It also attracted the attention of the police when a neighbor got suspicious about people searching around the bushes. Luckily we were home and just happened to notice them poking around. The officers weren’t familiar with geocaching, but were quickly put at ease when we explained the game and showed them the log book.
