Stephen,

I like the idea of a Traveler only cache. Perhaps near a major highway,
like some have suggested in the past. I've seen caches with multiple
travelers in them before, so I think the web site can handle it just fine.
Maybe people will start a traveler just to log the cache. Start it soon and
maybe I can beat Wyle E to it. I've got one Traveler (Coleman) and three
empty tags sitting here on my desk just waiting for you.
