A nice travel bug hotel located close to routes used to access Denver International Airport.
This cache has been established to replace the original 56th Avenue Travel Bug Hotel. A fellow cacher had asked us to adopt the cache when he moved to Idaho which we gladly did. Unfortunately, it got muggled. When we tried to replace the cache we ran into difficulty. The orginal location had been torn up badly. We searched all along 56th Avenue looking for a location. On one such attempt we ran into a City of Denver Wildlife Officer who was less than friendly. He advised us in no uncertain terms that the entire area belonged to the City of Denver and was private and that we were trespassing. He even indicated that he could give us a ticket. By the way, there wasn't a single sign in the area advising of the property's owner. But we were persistant. The original cache was placed such that travelers to and from Denver could drop travel bugs off since it was conveniently located along the route to and from Denver International Airport. It was a popular cache. We wanted to keep the original owner's goal in mind. So this cache has been located such that commuters can still take advantage of its' close proximity to primary routes to Denver International. It has been named in honor of the original cache owner. Please be respectfull of the area and rehide the cache exactly as found. You can drive to within 20 feet of the cache, but it is not recommended and you will see why when you arrive at ground zero. This cache may not be accessible after a heavy snow.

Post Reviewer Note 06/19/2019 By Heartland Cacher
Greetings I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for caches submitted to Geocaching.com.

We are doing a check of caches that have been disabled for an extended period. Please maintain this cache and post an appropriate note to the cache page.

As stated in the cache listing guidelines https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines#listingmaintenance Disable a cache page when the cache is not available or you need time to fix reported problems. A cache page can stay disabled for a reasonable amount of time - generally up to four weeks.

PLEASE NOTE:
Today's notice is a friendly reminder only. Do not reply to me directly. Rather, please go to "Log geocache" (upper right hand of the cache page) and choose "WRITE A NOTE" from the drop down menu. Please do not use the "OWNER MAINTENANCE" log until you do the maintenance and the cache is ready to be found again with a status update and any intention to revive the cache. Several reviewers participate in cache maintenance tasks so a log posted in this manner is the best way to get your message seen. Without a log posted you risk having the cache archived.

If you have disabled this cache for the winter or a season, please consider this a reminder to post a notice for when you expect the area to re-open. Re-activate the cache if the area is actually open again.

After you have checked on it and it's ready for seeking again, great! You can re-enable the cache page http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 by clicking the link under the cache name or by checking the box that says the cache is active. If, however, you discover that the cache is missing and/or you decide not to replace it, then please remove any remaining pieces of it and archive it. This will open up the area for other geocachers to hide their own geocaches. You may also need to digitally relocate any trackable items still listed here. If a "Needs Maintenance" log was posted, you will also need to log an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" icon from the geocache page. http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future. If the cache is not maintained or the status is not updated, it will be archived. Thank you for understanding.

If this sounds like an automated email template, that's because it is. I apologize for that but the volume of messages we get is such that templates like this make the process much more efficient. Thanks for your understanding.

I look forward to hearing from you. Do not reply to this email. It is sent by a no-reply mailbot so I won't get it. To respond, please do NOT send me an e-mail or a message center conversation as they lack needed functionality for reviewing. Leave a new "Reviewer Note" log here on your cache page. If you're not familiar with this process, see the instructions https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=97&pgid=74. I have your cache on my watchlist, and I will receive a notification when you write your note.

"If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or HQ staff for lack of maintenance *it will not be unarchived."*

Additionally, please note that if I've not heard from you in 4 weeks, I may be forced to archive this cache. Don't let your cache get archived for non-communication

We will be checking on this soon. Looks like construction may have finally overtaken the area.

Out caching with @LostinDenver. Checked on our nearby cache and then thought we would look at this one. Even though we have both found it in the past, we were unable to find it today. Lots of debris piled up - maybe cache is buried?

I suppose the cache is somewhere back there. It’s no longer a 1.5/1.5 however. I wonder if it still salvageable?

Attended Bike the Arsenal Perimeter Trail (31 caches) - now off to find caches, including this one . . . . Why is my nose running - Oh, it's called Colorado pollen. . Then a good day of caching always ends with a runny nose for me LOL - Great cache by some great people. Well deserves the "5 Bug" rating.
