Geocache Description:

Here's your chance to show you're NOT addicted to Geocaching:

DO NOT LOG THIS CACHE!


Many cachers just naturally have personality traits that lead to easily becoming hooked on caching. 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 have a latent susceptibility to geo-addiction.

The first step is to admit you are an addict. Then the healing can begin. Psychologists have identified several traits that may indicate a geocaching addiction, including, but not restricted to:

• You are familiar with words like ‘TNLNSL’ 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 container silhouettes.

• You make grocery purchases based on the items' usefulness as cache containers.

• Your shins look like your cat has taken revenge on them for your "fixing" him.

• You have a pet tick.

• You like to drive off road even in your own neighborhood.

• Any knothole in a tree or chink in a wall makes you think "that'd be a GREAT hiding spot!"

If any of these apply to you, chances are you are indeed addicted to geocaching. This cache is here to help. In order to help you develop the willpower to resist locating a cache if you want to, we placed this cache for the sole purpose of not being logged!

We realise this will not be easy. This cache is a significant hike. It is an almost 1100 feet climb from nearest parking. Terrain varies from 3 to 4-plus, depending on your approach. Views are fantastic. A run-of-the-mill geocacher will never make it up here. There's a logbook and pen in the cache. But come on, you don't need one more smiley; that inner sense of accomplishment should be reward enough. You don't need everyone else to know you were here. If you must, you can log the nearby Pinnacle cache. PLEEEEAAASSSE. Get a grip on yourself. You can pass on this one. Show everyone you are in control and you can lick this thing.

Caution: if you really can't resist, please take adequate precautions for snakes, ticks, steep terrain, etc.

Adventure Pass required for nearby parking.
