BIKE IS BEST
Here is your chance to prove to the world that YOU ARE NOT ADDICTED to geocaching.
YOU ARE EITHER A GEOCACHER OR YOU ARE NOT.
there is no gray area. Some people try it, like it, and continue to polish their skills. Other people try it, don't get it, and are losers. If you like to be outside, if you like mysteries, if you like challenges, if you like to torment other people, if you like to feel as if you are doing something illegal, then you might be a Geocacher.
WHY DO YOU LIKE IT?
Maybe it is the fantasy of living a secret agent's life and doing things right under muggles' noses' without them picking up the scent. Maybe it is because you want to play with others who have the same interest, or maybe it is because you don't want to play with anyone at all. Maybe it is because you like new challenges and the feeling of conquests. Whatever the reason, you might be a geocacher.
