Well, after a short discussion with Rugerdog (who was caching with me over 
the weekend)... it seems I pulled the travel bug out of Hounds From Hell 
Cache. The bug, by the way is called LoneGunMan TB. Anyways, the cacher that 
still has this cache in his posession (according to the TB's page) hasnt 
cached since August 10th 2003. In fact, he only has 7 total cache finds. All 
of which he did on the 8th and 9th of August, 2003! So, it appears he 
dropped the bug in this cache and didnt log it into the cache. HOWEVER... 
there have been lots of teams at this cache before me. I wonder why none of 
them would have taken this bug. Makes me wonder if this TB has traveled to 
other caches as well? I find it hard to beleive that several teams would 
pass it up. Also, the Hounds From Hell Cache page shows another travel bug 
as being in that cache.

Oh well. It is in my possession now and I will move it on it's way soon!
