DO NOT FIND THIS CACHE...or...resistence is futile Traditional Cache

Will a DNF cache appear near you soon??? Helston? Hayle? Botallack?............just where, to spoil your pristine map!!!???? Whooo, ha, ha, ha, haaaaa!!!!!

Can you resist this pointless nano, that will remind you it’s still there unfound, every time you log onto your map??? It’s oh so easy, but is it more difficult to resist?? DO NOT FIND THIS CACHE!
There are numerous DO NOT FIND THIS CACHE hides around the world and we are informed that the first one of was placed by Team Cheesehead of Wisconsin (GC7086) in July of 2002.
We were introduced to caching on our honeymoon in San Francisco by the Evil Poles (they have a lot to answer for!) and it’s from them that we have stolen this idea. (see GC1RGC1). As we felt it helped us, we thought it was only fair to share this with those of you in Cornwall that are just taking this game a little too seriously.
SO, do you have a problem with geocaching? Are you obsessed with numbers? Only you can answer these questions for yourself. If you've got a problem it's time to admit it and deal with it. Not doing this cache could be your first step.
Answering 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. Be honest now...
1. Has caching ever interfered with work?
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 help you relax?
5. Do you actually look forward to visiting the inlaws?
6. Do you crave geocaching as soon as you wake up?
7: Have you ever abandoned cooking or eating a meal for a FTF?
8: Do you check your email regularly during the day to see what new caches are in your area?
9. Do you lie to others about how often you partake in geocaching?
10: Is your car or your dog a travel bug?
11. Can you read the "additional hints" quite naturally without clicking on the "Decrypt" link?
12. Have you ever told your other half that you just need to pop out to get some dog biscuits and come back with a FTF?
13. Do you have a special caching bag that is always ready to go at a moments notice?
14. Do you have special caching pants used solely for caching?
15. Do you check geocaching.com web site more than once a day?
16. Is geocaching the only reason you own a PDA?
17. Do you own more than one GPS?
18. Have you put relationships at risk because of geocaching?
19. Is your lawn a foot long, your landscaping full of weeds and your back fence falling down because you're ...ahem...a little too busy on weekends?
20. Have you found yourself in financial difficulties because of geocaching?
21. Are you magnetically drawn to the lock and lock container selection every time you visit the supermarket?
22. Have you tried to give up geocaching and failed?
23. You see this Cache and think - Now why didn't I do one like this? (oops!)
24. Everywhere you go, you are always looking for a hiding place.
25. You always carry a caching toolkit filled with cache repair and cache retrieval equipment in the car but have no idea where the spare tyre or jump leads are.
This cache is 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 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. 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, no physical challenge whatsoever.
• There is no puzzle to solve, no code to crack.
• There are no breathtaking views.
• There is no cool first to find prize or other tasty cache-swag to trade. In fact, the cache contains no more than a logsheet.
• You can drive right up to the cache.
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 magnetic nano. Show the world how strong you are. You can stop Geocaching anytime you want. Really you can.
To help you overcome the urge to do this cache (and before you get too smart, logging this as "did not find" will simply prove you are dependent but in denial) the following "hall of shame" will be updated with the names of the most weak-willed cachers in the area as and when they log this cache!
1: Mavrickandgoose

3: Geohound 100.......well....1 of 'em at least!
4: Got him at last!!!! The Defender!
5: Cornish Ferrets
6: PD cachers
7: The Defender again for his DNF!!!!!!
8:
We will also list those with the best excuses for not finding this cache, as these people are obviously on their first steps to re-hab! Well done you!!!
Remember, DO NOT FIND THIS CACHE!...........however, beware…….once found how long the cache remains is yet to be seen……..so hurry!!!!????
If you fancy letting us all know how you score please feel free.
