I want to thank you all for helping make our trip to Belize so wonderful. I really appreciated your kindness in making us feel at home. I have some fabulous memories of visiting Belize and thanks again for helping in that. My favorite adventure trip was to the CheChem Ha caves. It was so cool hiking through the jungle and ending up in a pitch dark cave with a headlamp on my head. Way cool!

Recent Guests at the Belize Jungle Dome Laura and Criag Ono introduced us to the Geocaching Global GPS Cache Hunting Phenomenon. They have hidden an unknown item tagged with a tracking device just outside Belmopan, Belize. For more information visit their hints page : Roaring Creek Travel Bug Hunt

What is a Groundspeak Travel Bug?

Simply put, a Groundspeak Travel Bug is a trackable tag that you attach to an item. This allows you to track your item on Geocaching.com. The item becomes a hitchhiker that is carried from cache to cache (or person to person) in the real world and you can follow its progress online.

What does a Travel Bug do?

It's really up to the owner of the bug to give it whatever task they desire. Or no task at all. The fun of a travel bug is inventing new goals for the Travel Bug to achieve. One Bug's goal may be to reach a specific country, or travel to 10 countries.

How do Travel Bugs work?

Each Travel Bug has its own unique tracking number stamped on it. This tracking number is used as proof by the user that they found the item. It also doubles as a way for the user to locate the personal web page for the travel bug.

Travel Bugs are tracked with the help of users who go online and "grab" them from caches, or receive them from users. The idea is by picking up and dropping off Travel Bugs on the web site you are mirroring the Bug's real world adventures. Each Travel Bug has its own "diary" that follows its movements.

Happy Hunting!!!

Here She Comes


We are very proud of our Manager, Karen Turner who passed through Roaring Creek, Belmopan today on her way to the Caves Branch Campsite. She is in third place overall, which is a monumental achievement, beating most of the men in the race. Congratulations to Karen. At present she raised nearly $1,000 for the Jaden Foundation while doing this trip. Karen has almost completed the 750km in 7 days including climbing to Caracol Mayan Temples set high in the Mountain Pine Ridge of Belize, through mud and rain.

And there She goes - with only 2 riders ahead of her
