Do Not Find This Cache - Show your strength!
Do you have a problem with geocaching? Surely not, right? Only you can answer these questions for yourself. You've got a problem. It's time to admit it.
Taking the following quiz may help to put your relationship with geocaching into perspective for you. If you end up answering "yes" to three or more questions, you may want to take a good look how your life is affected by geocaching.
1. Have you missed classes or work because of geocaching?
2. Do you have trouble refusing geocaching?
3. Do you need geocaching in order to have fun at a party?
4. Do you use geocaching to build up your self-confidence
5. Do you use geocaching to help you relax?
6. Have you tried to give up geocaching and failed?
7. Do you crave geocaching as soon as you wake up?
8. Do you get into trouble because of geocaching?
9. Do you crave geocaching at a definite time daily?
10. Do you lie to others about how often you partake in Geocaching?
11. Have you gotten into financial difficulties because of geocaching?
12. Do you often wish people would just mind their own business about you and geocaching?
13. When you are in a store, you look at every hollow object as a potential cache container.
14. You spend most of your time in a dollar store looking for swag.
15. Everywhere you go, you are always looking for a hiding spot.
16. You get really excited when you find a new park.
17.Do you check Geocaching.com web site more than once a day?
18. Has your GPSr ever been confiscated "for your own good"?
19.You no longer visualize/think of the city in terms of streets and addresses but rather cache locations.
20. When you start giving out coordinates instead of map directions to a particular location (like your house).
21. You’ve had more “conversations” on your Garmin than on your REAL cell phone.
22. Your wedding invitation features a Difficulty / Terrain rating.
23. You realize you can now read the hints without clicking “Decrypt”or looking at the key.
24. You get distracted watching movies because you keep scanning the background scenery, thinking, “That’d be a GREAT place for a cache!”
25. The clerks at McDonald's are getting suspicious.
26. You name your youngest child, "Micro."
27. Your boss takes you aside and asks about the smell of DEET when you come back from a long lunch. You lie and claim it's cheap gin.
28. Your significant other calls you to dinner through the forums.
29. The police follow you home after another of your massive ZipLoc shopping runs.
30. Everyone else puts a quarter in the coffee fund jar in the office break room. You TAKE a quarter, leave a Travel Bug, and cover the jar with pine straw.
We're here to help. 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!) who, when they look at the page showing their 25 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 Find, and then race back to log it in and remove it from your top 25 list. Ahhhhh. All is in order again.
The question is, how strong are you? Can you resist searching out this cache? You have nothing to gain from finding it.
• There is no invigorating hike, virtually no physical challenge whatsoever.
• There are no breathtaking 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 only a logsheet.
• You can drive to within 2 feet of the cache.
• The cache is hidden in an alley near a dumpster on a fence post (see spoiler photo).
Heck, I've even included a spoiler photo on the cache page!
The ONLY thing you have to reward yourself from searching out this cache is just adding another find to your total. No glory. Just a number. Just another lame 35 mm cache. Show the world how strong you are. You can stop Geocaching anytime you want. Really you can.
"Fiiiind meeee..."
