Things I "Hate" About Caching Traditional Cache

Here’s is my “ongoing” list of Things I hate about Geocaching.

1. Just missing a FTF. Enough said.
   
   
2. Walking all the way to a cache and forgetting to bring my pen or travel bugs.
   
   
3. Micros in the woods and forgetting my crummy flashlight.
   
   
4. Not having a babysitter for those days when I want to grab a high terrain cache. Note that I have not completed the Fizzy after 5 years of caching.
   
   
5. Bug and Spiders that give me the Heebie Jeebies from just being there, making all those webs to accidently walk full face into.
   
   
6. Wearing white tennis shoes on muddy days out caching. I don’t own any nice ones anymore.
   
   
7. Dog doo. There was one cache where I had to clean five pairs of shoes before getting back into the car.
   
   
8. Having to count and make sure I have all 4 of my boys in the car BEFORE leaving to the next cache or for an event. I have left one at home on my way to the GeoLuau or almost one at Starbucks in Portland.
   
   
9. Having to use a sharpie pen to write my phone number on my boys’ arms in case they get lost at GeoWoodstock (because I have forgotten to keep counting heads).
   
   
10. Being too short to grab a cache and having to return with a step ladder to get it. I have asked Cooper to Chicken fight for a cache. And, climb up on the roof my van to get another.
    
    
11. Asking the boys NOT to throw the “rock” lid to the cache down into the gully below and watching them do just that.
