Unique Geocache: "Travel Bug Hotel"
This is one of our caches, definitely the largest one we've put out so far. The cache name and our geocaching name were really prominently featured inside the cache so that's why all the blurring. We are still committed to, as much as possible, keeping these videos from becoming spoilers!

America have such good geocache's. where I live in the uk, you're lucky to find an ammo box.

In my area (germany) it seems the best we get is a logbook under a bridge, were you need to go into the water.
Love This! I'm amazed how many themed aspects you worked into the design and the level of detail and craftsmanship! There's something for everyone in this one!
Thank you. We're so glad to hear you're watching (and enjoying!) our "Unique Caches!!"
This is the cutest and coolest idea ever!! All your caches are so clever! Now i want to come to Florida just to look for this and your other caches!
WOW! That is one heck of an awesome hotel! very nicely done! I always love the details you put into your caches! Thanks for another awesome cache, and video!
OMG - this is simply amazing! Cute as all get out! So VERY thoughtful & clever! Wish you'd place something here in South Texas!!!
We remember when we were researching TB hotels, seeing pictures of that one, with the drawers and the destination continents labeled! Very cool, it was definitely part of the inspiration for what we ended up making for our own TB hotel. Oh, and we weren't trying to hide our box, so, it's okay that the other one had better camo! Thanks for the comparison, it's an honor to have our cache deemed "similar"!!
We got the metal cabinet from a friend, then added a hasp and lock and some weatherstripping to keep moisture out. Thanks for the comment!!
OMG!!! That is SOOO COOOL!!! We actually went to the Travelbug Page and we were blown away! It really does say that the goal is to travel to all our caches!! That is truly an honor - thank you!!!
I wish some Czech or Moravian geocacher will ever make just one cache as cool as yours are! If I were a tourist in this area, I would be so delighted to find this one! I absolutely love it. Greeting from the Czech Republic!
You both are truly an inspiration to geocachers! I wish I lived closer and had the ability to find them seeing as i'm in PA don't see that happening anytime soon. This is what this game is all about. I love all your caches and love watching the video's I want to thank you for sharing them with us! I think you should put some caches out in my area.. haha! Anyway thanks again so much for your videos - i look forward to many more!
Well thank you, TOB, for your kind words -- and for watching!
Thanks Matt! That is the best compliment we could wish for!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for such kind words! Those were wonderful compliments to receive, thank you.
What a nice compliment. :D Thanks for watching!!
You can tell love was put into this! It would be so awesome to visit your hotel someday!
Your caches are so amazing! I wish there were more unique caches around here beside the basic (yet still appreciated!) tupperware container.
I am constantly amazed at your efforts to make the geocaching experience the best ever! Wow! TFTC!!
that is by far the coolest thing i've EVER seen! I wish i lived in florida so i could find your cache's! lol you guys have inspired me to start making some unique caches as well!
Oh! My! God! This must be the most elaborate TB hotel I've (or KZread!) ever seen. It makes me want to turn into a bug myself and just check in for a few days :)
You really out did yourselves this time! Just beautiful! I hope you open a cache store one day online....for use that can NOT create but what to place unique hides!
I Love ure unique and oh so clever caches and locations!!! I Am NEW to geocaching... believe it or not, I was reading a magazine (Seventeen) June/July 2013 vol. .... and an article in it talked about Geocaching... and im am thrilled to have found it!!! pg. 140 Wish I was closer to you and could try to cache ure Unique Caches! im in AZ
I visited this cache on my recent trip to Florida. Very cool. Gave it a favorite!
Awesome Cache! There is a similar TB hotel here in Victoria, Australia, with all the little furniture, it is defiantly VERY awesome!
Yes we do monitor the trackables and occasionally, if the supply starts to dwindle, we go scouting for new ones to bring to the hotel. Most of the time, though, there are between 7 and 15 trackables in there at any given time! Also, we stop in about once a month and do inventory, comparing the list of what's supposed to be there with what actually is. Most of the time people log their TB activity, but occasionally we have to mark one missing.
Again you guys are Awesome by placing more TB's in there. People like you both, are the ones that make this game that much better. Would love to find this one.
Love the work and detail you both put into your "Unique Caches!"
Thanks Ms. Twish!!! We were a little nervous about the brochures - who DOES that?! LOL, no one does, 'cept crazy folks like us! We really meant them to be helpful to the people at the hotels - people from out of town - but we've had to replenish them twice because all the locals keep taking them!
I love the boucher idea. I really admire the your efforts to make the sport better and better--Uber Kudos to you!
Wow, thank you so much for watching our videos and for such kind words about our caches! (Sorry we're probably not going to be hiding any in PA anytime soon LOL!)
Awww, thanks TCD! We both still have full-time jobs and can barely find time to geocache! But maybe someday, ha! Thanks for always being so supportive though!!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
Wow, you guys put a lot of thought, time and sweat into your caches! I would be concerned with vandalism with a cache like that. Keep up the good work!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I especially love the brochures! You 2 are amazing! :-)
LOL!! Amazingly, accommodations for Travelbugs and Geocoins are complimentary! There are currently 11 trackable guests in the hotel, we're picturing them partying together in the lobby while that door is closed. :D
Very nice TB Hotel! Well thought out and executed. We need more like this in my area.
Thank you so much for the kind words about our cache! That would be great if you could visit our caches while you're here!
This is the coolest cache idea I've ever seen - LOVE it!
Wow! That is a phenomenal geocache! I hope you guys secured it nicely so that Florida weather doesn't get to it! I would LOVE to find something like that cache!
Thanks vinnie! We included a list on the back of the brochure of "other cool caches in the area" (ones which are *not* put out there by us), hopefully to give folks from out of town a nudge to get out there and cache while they're in town!
That's so amazing! I really like that! I love how creative some people are :) I can imagine how much time you've spend on building that (sorry for my english!)
Awesome. We need this in every bigger city all around the world. Thanks for sharing this video
Wow we would love to see a picture of it! We did quite a bit of research before building this cache and didn't see any other TB hotel out there like it so it would be neat to see that! GMTA!! :D
I love this Travel Bug Hotel!! I showed it to my wife and she gave me "the look", the one that says, "no, you're not building that!". Nonetheless, I love your channel!
Wow, snuffy, thank *you* for such awesome compliments! You made our day!
Wow! All I can say is wow. Well done! How did you get permission to put that huge cache there? Favorited and "liked".
wow that certainly is the biggest tb hotel I have ever seen! Amazing! :)
Wow your cache are awesome! We need people like you in Belgium!!!
Well if you ever find yourself in Florida, stop on in and trade a few TBs!! Thanks for watching, and for your nice words!
Wow. Sure got a lot of traffic indeed! 200+ favorite points. Nice!
That's amazing! I guess some of the travel bugs feel left out when us humans stay in luxury hotels and they stay in small cold ammo cans hahaha! Thanks for the great video, it's a shame that I live in Australia and I can't visit it.
probably the best i'v seen. Too many on youtube are ones I would never find.
WoW! I've seen some TB hotels but this one is by far the best one! Wish I lived in Florida so I could see in person. TFS :o) - Tracie-
this is insane!! -but awesome!!!!!!! thank you so much for sharing with all the people who are not able to cache in the us.
Wow, that's nicer than some hotels I've stayed in. Good job. I'd like to make a TB hotel too.
It's lovely in British Columbia, we should switch places for a few weeks so you can geocache here and we can geocache there! LOL. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Kat! Yes, of course, steal away! Just make sure to make a video of it and share it, we'd love to see what you come up with!! Thanks so much for watching!
Every cache we do is different and we are penny-pinching frugal people so we use existing and/or cheap and/or used materials whenever possible, ha!! In this instance, the cabinet was free (given to us), then we bought the box with the drawers and the dollhouse furniture (but we researched online to find the cheapest possible deal!). As for cost of maintenance, except for the printing of the brochures (free at work), there isn't any real maintenance necessary.
Absolutely love it!! Shame there's none like this at all in Cornwall UK. All we have is nanos & Tupperware. Xx
Very nice TB-hotel! :) Best regards from Sweden.
Wow, what a great compliment, thank you!!
Going to have to visit this one for GWXI in 2013! This is great!
If I ever find it, I will have to favorite it. Nice job! Definitely not your average lock n lock Tb hotel.
Cool, we'll be watching for your GC name to log this cache! Thanks so much for the compliment!
Ok, that is so damn awesome!!! I'd love to do one like that here where I live... may I steal the idea? I wish I could read the "cache tour" thing you put on the inside! Its so inventive, I love the lobby and the different rooms and stuff! Living in "tourist" central here, it would be a great idea! Now to see if I can find it on GC so I can get better pictures of the brochures and stuff you included!
Yep, it's pretty weather-proofed, thanks. And thanks for the nice comment!
Oh your TB Hotel is luxurious ❤️🥰❤️
Aha but that's what the lock is for... not that it keeps the cache vandal-proof because we had one bashed in and it had a lock on it. What helps even more, though, is that it is a premium-only hide. We have had much less vandalism since changing most of ours to premium. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! That's really nice of you to say!
Actually, neither. We did our homework - went to the local county property appraiser's website - and looked up who actually owns that land and what it is zoned for. Thanks for watching and for the nice words about it!
LOL! Uh oh, not "the look"!! (Eh, it wasn't that hard to build! Ha!) Anyway, thanks for the compliment and for watching!
Looks awesome. Very creative.
Well, the most expensive component would have been the box, but we got that for free. The hardware organizer box was under 20 bucks and we shopped around for the dollhouse furniture, got the set for about $15. The rest of the items (the wood facade, the wallpaper, chair rail, etc) we made from stuff we had already. Hope that helps!

May I ask what kind of metal box that is? I've dreamed of making somthing similar to this!
We laughed when we read that ("this is insane!!") Thanks for watching!
As for rules, no, we did not lay down any ground rules. So far it has not been an issue, at all times we've had at least 8-10 trackables in inventory. If someone takes 'em all, we'll go out and drop in some, but I think that's the exception rather than the rule, so we'll just roll with it and see how it goes!! Thank you so much! For both watching and commenting.
What a wonderful compliment, thank you so much! (We would have answered sooner but were out of town!)
omg!! if i knew the gc code for this cache, i would give it a fav point. thinking about re-creating it in Sydney. Although, exact copy with such great precision will be hard to make! Wish I could put my new TB in there!! or let's hope it reaches your hotel! Cheers!
Yep, even though we're careful about not linking this account to our geocaching account or giving out GC codes or locations -- we're still not all that hard to find, it's true!! Thanks for the compliment!
Thanks so much for the very kind comment!
This is so beautiful! To bad that I live in Germany! Hope to do some of your caches when I go to the States next year! TFTC
Wow great job,that looks pretty awesome
Hi Capt-T! Good to hear from you. Yes we added it up and there's at least 15 hours of work in that one. It was fun though! :D
I love your geocaches! I see now your identity is top secret. I will just have to do some research then!
Ha! What a great compliment!! Thank you so much!
We had to obtain four main items for this cache: 1) the big box which could be locked. 2) The hardware organizer with the drawers. 3) The doll-house furniture, and 4) The wood facade which we placed in front of the hardware organizer and painted. Items 2 and 3 can be found online.
Not sure what you're asking... the outside box is a metal cabinet that was given to us.
Nice job CacheMedics!
Hello, and thank you for watching all our videos! Wow! Sorry but we really try to keep our videos from becoming spoilers, so we don't share GC codes, our GC name, or our exact location. (But if you're looking for us online, we're not really that hard to find!)
I love this TB Hotel!
The cache name and our geocaching name is very prominently displayed inside the cache. We do not share those details here on KZread. Some folks have found us anyway... but nevertheless, we made a commitment to keep these videos non-spoiler-ish. :D
Wow, what?!! Wow, speechless!!
There is a similar cache to this on Table Mountain in South Africa. This is much bigger but the Table Mountain one has better camo (sorry :)) The boxes are also labeled for different continents of the world's trackables since it is a tourist location
LOL it *IS* big!! Thanks for watching!
Nope sorry, we have a commitment to never sharing our exact location, our GC name, or the GC codes here on KZread. With a little imagination, we're not that hard to find, though. Thanks for watching!
Right on! That is very very cool.
I live in BC as well i have a really cool cache just in my backyard it is a old abandoned copper mine it is by far my fav cache
Wow,! Very impressive!
There is a similar one in Alabama. Really neat!
Used some sleuthy detective work and it's only 45 minutes away!! Yay!!! Going today!
Thanks Mathmadden, for the great compliment!
