Geocache Description:


"I hate how you obsess me. Maybe if I’d known where our friendship was to go I would have cut you off when I had a chance. Oh sure, at first it was just a few innocuous outings taking me to quaint hides and benign places. But slowly, surely you grew on me. Perhaps it was the breathtaking sights that you showed me, some nearly sweeping me off my feet. The sweeping panoramas, the lush forests, the secretive metros, and the obscure but fascinating histories… I guess even that first excursion solidified your hold on me."

"And then you deepened my fascination, enlarged my interest with your ingenious ways and dementia in your craftings. Always unexpected, sometimes frustrating, frequently amusing but never boring… and always memorable."

"Our intimate get-aways continued. You took me by the hand and carried me on far away adventures to hidden places that broadened my views and enlarged my understanding… and yes in doing so you pulled me into your web of addiction. Surely I must quit... but I can't. The next hide, the next adventure… what would you show me next, what secrecies would you require of me, what levels of discretion would you force upon me. I was slow to recognize your power over me; other commitments denied, lengthy and foolish tramping through endless thistle, marsh and field, and then the trips… planned all around you. I should have recognized the warning signs. Now it's too late."

"I should be ashamed over the power you command upon me but alas, I push aside this disdain and, in denial of this power, I still must seek you out. I cannot deny your beckoning and look forward to meeting your demands. Ashamed? Yes. But I admit that even still I am giddy with anticipation at being able to seek you out… I long for your adventures and companionship."

"And so I find myself on yet another surreptitious rendezvous with you, my tempting companion. And as I expected, you again demand my loyalty, my secrecy, my discretion in our relationship. Tell no one you say. Whisper to no one of your whereabouts, you demand. So be it… I will carry the burden of silence… for this secrecy unites us and will again bond us this night."

Many Thanks to CoolCache of Oakland, CA for the write-up, his Surreptitious Rendezvous cache was one of Jen's favorite finds due in part to a flock of hummingbirds in the area.

Some originality in log writing will get you good Karma.
