I hate Caching where there’s supposed to be a trackable Travel Bug (TB) or GeoCoin (GC) only to find it missing (muggles don’t remove them, fellow Cachers do). I hate looking for Caches in neighborhoods because of the stares from the neighborhood muggles. I’m hoping to use these dislikes to create a safe environment for your trackable TB or GC. Bring a good book on this Caching adventure, you can use it as camoflage!
Many years ago ‘B.C.’ (you know...Before Children), my wife and I would travel and stay at Bed & Breakfast Inns (B&B Inns). We would be warmly welcomed and then we could leave our bags safely in our room while we explored the local venues, like wineries, theaters or parks, without worries. More often than not, there was tea or wine served in the afternoon on a porch or library. I remember browsing shelf upon shelf when there was a library. Ok…fast forward to now with kids. Travel is simply a mission rather than a leisurely trip. You get to the hotel, check-in, lock up and hope nothing happens to belongings while you go eat or explore…it’s a place to sleep and then move on…not always a pleasant trip. Why should TBs and GCs be subjected to the same kind of torture when they don’t even have kids in tow?
Although this Cache is located in a neighborhood, the Cache has the blessing of the property owner (no need to tromp through the property…this could easily be a park and grab from the sidewalk...really, you can literally stand on the sidewalk and reach this cache). I live nearby so I, and the property owner, can occasionally check to make sure TBs and GCs have a comfortable and safe stay. Located in Wine Country (there are 41 wineries located in Livermore), your TB or GC can safely rest until another Geocache Traveler chooses to trade to help move TBs along. Although TBs and GCs won’t be served breakfast, they’ll be surrounded by all the amenities of a true B&B Inn!
This is a small to medium Cache and can hold dog-tag sized trackables…larger trackables will probably need to find larger, roomier lodging. Please be a fair Geocacher (trade one trackable for another trackable...or at least fair SWAG item). We’d like this B&B to always have a at least one trackable resident present. There’s room for small SWAG items. Cache contains pen and log.
And finally...if you enjoyed this cache, whether for your trackable, your swag, or simply for the 'hunt', we'd be honored if you made it one of your FAVORITES.
