Here is your chance to prove to the world that you’re not hooked on geocaching. How?
DO NOT LOG THIS CACHE!!!!
But, are you hooked on geocaching? This is a chance to try to overcome your addiction. How? DO NOT locate this cache, even though it is right here in front of you begging to be found! If you can drive within one mile of this location and are able to pass it by, please, share your success story by logging a note below! I can think of several local cachers (I know who you are, you know who you are, we all know who you are) 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 But, it's not an addiction if you don't want to quit, right? Well, what if you wanted to quit? I bet you couldn't do it. Experts on the subject (forum participants) have identified a number of warning signs. Take a look.
-You are familiar with words like, 'gerr', 'ybt', 'fghzc', 'ebpx', 'gur', 'yvsg' and 'oruvaq'.
-You no longer talk to your friends about geocaching; as none of them will allow it.
- You have missed class or work because of geocaching
- You have trouble refusing an FTF
- You use geocaching to build up your self-confidence.
- You tried to give up geocaching and failed
- You crave geocaching as soon as you wake up.
- You get into trouble because of geocaching.
- You lie to others about how often you partake in geocaching.
- Everywhere you go, you are always looking for a hiding spot.
If this describes you, chances are you have an addiction to geocaching. This cache is here to help. In order to prove that you do have the willpower to resist locating a cache, if you want to, I've put out this cache for the sole purpose of not being logged.
You are not looking for an unspecified micro. It is not very hard to find, if anyone will give in and decided to look for it. There is little of interest here. There is no interesting history lesson, no FTF certificate no nice trade items, and little-or-no challenge. The idea for this cache is not even my own. Even the text is blatantly stolen from several similar ones. In fact, there's nothing to be gained from finding this cache except another smiley and a single number added to your stats. So, there's really no good reason to locate this one, except…"because it's there".
Name and shame yourself by logging this as a find.
Prove you’re not addicted by finding and just logging a note.

Good luck in NOT FINDING THIS CACHE.
