Do you have a problem
with
Geocaching?
Only you can answer that question for yourself. However,
taking
the following quiz may help to put your relationship to
geocaching
in 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.
Have you missed classes or work because
of
geocaching?
Do you have trouble refusing geocaching?
Do you need geocaching in order to have fun at a party?
Do you use geocaching to build up your self-confidence?
Do you use geocaching to help you relax?
Have you tried to give up geocaching and failed?
Do you crave geocaching as soon as you wake up?
Do you get into trouble because of geocaching?
Do you crave geocaching at a definite time daily?
Do you lie to others about how often you partake in
geocaching?
Have you gotten into financial difficulties because of
geocaching?
Do you often wish people would just mind their own business
about you and geocaching?
Experts on the subject (forum participants) have identified
a
number of other waning signs to be on the lookout for. Some
examples are:
-You are familiar with words like, 'gerr',
'ybt', 'fghzc', 'ebpx', 'haqre', or 'oruvaq'
-You know the zip codes of all your out-of-town relatives off the
top of your head.
-You actually look forward to visiting the in-laws.
-You no longer talk to your friends about geocaching (none of them
will allow it.)
-You find yourself having to explain to your significant other
why
there is a sudden shortage of tupperware containers in the
kitchen.
-Your driveway is covered with spray-painted cache box
silhouettes.
-You begin making grocery purchases based on the items'
usefulness
as cache containers.
I’m 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 to Find", and then race back
to log it in and remove it from your top 25 list.
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.
- 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
nothing but a logsheet.
The only thing you 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..."
