Narrative and photographs
I was right across the street two days ago looking for the I80/I81 Travel Bug Hotel cache, but I didn’t have the benchmark printout with me. Went back today and found it pretty easily (lots of dirt and leaves covered it, but it was right where the description specified). The marker itself looks to be in decent condition, but it’s difficult to tell. The catch basin grate rests right on top of it! The Stage Coach Inn still exists and it appears interesting, if somewhat otherworldly.
