    There is an Auntie that travels I65 quite often and likes to stop in my hometown in Columbus, IN.

    I’m at a loss for TB hotel ideas and am looking for inspiration. Since this is such a broad topic I thought maybe we’d grab some quick ideas that I could throw together and make happen.

    I head to IN this next week so the creation should be simple but the topic could be more detailed. Maybe a puzzle? IDK. My slate is blank so let’s hear your ideas.

      An ammo box still works best but get a chain and lock it down.

      Most definitely, was thinking a Theme would work to make it more interesting…next is to find the spot. Thanks Rod!

      Make it a doghouse… a tail-waggin’ one.

      I like that one Mrs SL. Wonder if I can pull it off in time.

      This post should be in the cache collaborators forum.

      I really liked the one in Rhinelander. It is a hotel like a dollhouse with rooms for the bugs.

      The bug hotel in Menominee, MI is nice. A cooler with spots for bugs, loot, etc.  Nothing fancy but very nice.

      I copied a tb hotel I found in Illinois that was designed to look like a weather monitoring station. Funk’s Grove cache.

      copying is the best compliment

      I love those things. I have most of the components but was planning on making a challenge cache out of mine

      Ran out of time but hope my return visit in December to work on this. Thanks for the feedback.

        There was a cache I ran into down in South Carolina described as a “wormhole TB motel”.  Somehow the CO was coordinating transport of travel bugs between this cache and one in New York state. See http://coord.info/GC3PP5K.   You could extend this idea a bit and set up a cache with an “in” box and “out” box.  Lock the “in” box (making a hole for drop offs only) for those that are leaving and need to be transport, and leave the “out” box accessible for those that are being delivered and may be picked up.   Depending how often the “transport” travels I65, this might be something worth trying.

        Wow.

        Very cool. Renee would be doing a lot of transports down I65 and I get back there 4 times a year or so. Hmmm.
