This
cache is a test to see how addicted to geocaching you really
are.
Your goal is to
not find this
cache.
We all know that there are those
among us (and you know who you are!...myself included.) who, when
they look at the page showing their 20 nearest caches, see nothing
but a perfect page full of finds. Then that new cache comes along
and spoils your pristine page. It sits there at the top of the
list...taunting you...staring at you like a giant unblinking
eye.
It calls out to you.
"Fiiiind meeee..."
You comply, even though the sun
is barely peeking over the horizon.
If you're lucky, you score a First
to Find, and then race back to log it in and remove it from your
top 20 list.
Ahhhhh! Order again.
The questions you must ask
yourself are: How strong am I? Can I resist
searching out this cache?
You
have little to gain from finding it. Think about
this:
- There is no invigorating
hike.
- There are no breathtaking views.
- The cache is hidden in a rather uninteresting area.
- The cache is hidden in a pretty lame way.
- The cache's container is just a baggie.
- The cache has no FTF prize of swag of any kind.
The
only thing you really have to gain from searching out this cache is
just adding another find to your total.
Show the world how strong you are.
You can stop geocaching anytime you want. Really you
can...
"Fiiiind
meeee..."
