Here
is your chance to prove to the world you aren't Addicted to
geocaching.
How?
DO
NOT LOG OR FIND THIS CACHE!!!!
Some
people are just natural born
geocachers. If you're the kind of
person that spent your childhood playing spy games, exploring the
woods behind your house turning over every rock to see what you
could find, or just hiding everyday objects in out of the way
places where nobody would know to look, chances are you were born
to cache. We'll admit it, we love
adventure and exploring ... that includes doing normally crazy
things like hiking glaciers! Why? For no other
reason than, 'why not?' Besides, the glaciers were there in
WA and we don’t have any here in WI!
Many
cachers just naturally have personality
traits that lead to easily becoming hooked on caching. Maybe it's
the thrill of taking part in something that the average
muggle never has a clue about; maybe
it's the chance to get out and explore the world. Let's face it ...
whatever the reason, geocaching is
addictive!
Are
you hooked on geocaching? If so, this
is your chance to overcome your addiction. How?
Do
not locate this cache, even though it's among the easiest around
and right here in front of you begging to be found!
If
you can drive by, and are able to not search for this cache, feel
free to share your success story by logging a note below! We can
think of several cachers who will see
this cache at the top of their nearest caches page, and their first
reaction will be to go out and find it. We know who you are. You
know who you are. We all know that it's easy to get hooked on this
sport. But it's not an addiction if you don't want to quit, right?
Well, what if you wanted to? We doubt you can do it! This is just
one of the many warning signs of a
geocaching addiction. Experts on the
subject have identified a number of other warning signs to be on
the lookout for including the following:
-
You are familiar with words like
‘sltnln’ and
‘ftf.’
- You know the zip codes of all your out-of-town relatives off the
top of your head.
- You actually look forward to visiting your in-laws.
- You no longer talk to your friends or
relatives about geocaching ... none of
them will allow it.
- You find yourself having to explain to your significant other why
there is a never-ending shortage of Tupperware containers in the
kitchen.
- Your driveway is covered with spray-painted cache box
silhouettes.
- You begin making grocery purchases based on the items' usefulness
as cache containers.
If
this describes you, chances are you have an addiction to
geocaching. This cache is here to help.
In order to prove that you have the willpower to resist locating a
cache if you want to, we put out this cache for the sole purpose of
not being logged! If you're thinking about locating this cache,
chances are you fall into one of three categories:
Unless
you’re a premium member and take advantage of the ignore feature,
you'll have the hardest time resisting this cache. It will appear
on your nearest caches list for as long as it remains unfound.
Every time you check to see if any new caches have been hidden
nearby, it will be here waiting, calling your
name ...
Your Goal is to NOT
FIND THIS CACHE!!!
This
is probably one of the easiest cache-n-go caches you'll ever find
... we’re talking no more than 5 minutes of your time! You don't
even have to enter woods to find it. Matter of fact, you can drive
within 15 feet ... there’s just no excuse as to why you couldn’t
find this.
The
question is, how strong are you? Can you
resist searching out this cache?
You
have nothing to gain from finding this cache.
There
is no invigorating hike.
There
are no breath taking views.
There
are no cool first finder tokens to find or other cool pieces of
cache swag to trade for. In fact the cache contains nothing but a
logbook, and pencil.
The
only thing you have to gain from logging this cache is just
another
check mark and a number added to your stats
Cache
is just large enough for the very weak to leave a small signature
item, and that’s it!
Show the world how strong you are. You have CONTROL...You
can stop Geocaching anytime you want.
Really you can...
Oh
... if you find yourself too weak to resist the temptation to find
the cache, be sure to re-hide it as well as, or better than, you
found it to help others avoid the same failing. Best wishes not
finding these caches!
"fiiiind
meeee..."

from a cache I had to log in GA.
I
am not sure who should get proper credit for the first Do Not
Find.
