Sprocket's 12 Step Program Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Artemis: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thank you
Artemis

NOTE: Please do not log any travel bugs in an unlisted cache. Travel Bugs dropped in unlisted caches can give away your cache location before it is listed. Simply drop the TB into the cache after listing has been done.

[red]NOTE: do not reply by leaving a note on this cache. I am not notified if a note is posted to this cache. If you wish to respond to this message from the geocaching.com mail bot. Go to your cache page and e-mail Artemis from the log there or email me directly at Artemis.approver@gmail.com, referencing the cache URL's, or GCxxxx number. [/red]

Geocache Description:

Prospector Park hours are from sunset to 10:30 PM. All steps are within walking distance inside the park.

Do you find yourself unchallenged by drive-by urban micro-caches? Do you take your GPS with you when you go grocery shopping? Do you lie awake at night, thinking about your next geocaching adventure? Do you spend inordinate amounts of time in 99 cent and 1$ discount stores? Do you hoard small containers? When asked for directions, do you give latitude and longitude coordinates? Do you buy mints and eat them three or four at a time, just so you can empty the tin they came in? Are you an adult that carries matchbox cars and Happy Meal toys with them everywhere you go? Did you name your family dog Garmin or Magellan? Do you only visit your in-laws when there is a new cache posted in their neighborhood? Do you have a rubber stamp with your team name on it? Do you worry about the limit of unique numbers that can be specified using a four-digit hexadecimal numbering system? Do you visit city parks on a regular basis, but never really make use of the equipment or facilities? Do you sometimes hold a GPS receiver to your ear and pretend it is a cell-phone, in order to avoid suspicion?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may be addicted to Geo-caching. But fear not, there is help for you and others like you. We have developed a 12-step program that will satisfy your cravings for geocaching. Of course, the first step to any successful program is admitting that you have a problem. If you are reading this, chances are, you have a problem. If you are ready to do something about it, you should gather together your family or other support group and go to the posted coordinates to begin the program. This is intended as a self-administered program so go at your own pace. You should be able to complete the entire program in 2 hours or less, provided you don’t go into remission along the way. If you find that you really need some assistance, you can read more about each of the twelve steps below.

NOTE: Please be careful with the final cache container. It is very fragile.

(On-line ''FIND'' logs without a corresponding signature in the log book will be deleted.)
