ARE YOU A GEOCACHE JUNKIE?
I got this idea while browsing around Geocaching website and found out that there are numerous DO NOT FIND THIS CACHE hides around the world. And the first one was believed to be placed by The Cheeseheads of Wisconsin (GC7086) in July of 2002. So I thought it is time to put this to the test in Hong Kong too.
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...
| CONFESSIONS OF A GEOCACHE JUNKIE |
Yes/No |
| Each time you enter the supermarket, you feel drawn to the tupperware or lock&lock section. |
|
| If it's not the lock&lock, it's the toy section looking for items small enough to fit inside lock&lock containers. |
|
| You tell a fib every now and then so that you can leave work or school early just to nab that FTF. |
|
| Every pile of stones seems to be a potential Geocache hiding place. |
|
| You check your e-mail many times a day for new caches in your area. You might even set your phone to automatically check your e-mail so that you do not miss a newly published cache. |
|
| You've had your GPSr confiscated "for your own good". |
|
| You no longer refer to places and areas in terms of streets and addresses but rather cache locations. |
|
| No matter who you are with, you can't resist pointing out a nearby cache when passing. |
|
| You realise you can now read the hints without clicking “Decrypt” or looking at the key. |
|
| You get distracted watching movies because you keep scanning the background scenery, thinking, “That’d be a GREAT place for a cache!” |
|
| The police have taken an interest in your suspicious behaviour while caching. |
|
| While everyone else takes a teabag out of the office pantry container, you take out a teabag and leave a Travel Bug. |
|
| The location of nearby caches is one of the most important considerations when planning a holiday. |
|
| You heart starts pounding faster when a new cache gets published and break out into a cold sweat when you are racing for FTF. |
|
| You call your car a Geomobile and memorise other geocachers' licence plate numbers so you know if they are gunning for that same FTF. |
|
| You carry spare batteries around in case your GPSr runs out of juice. |

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.
Now, can you resist searching out this cache? You have nothing to gain from finding it.
• There is no invigorating walk. Just a boring walk around a small park.
• There are no breathtaking views. As a matter of fact, it is close to a police headquarters.
• There is no cool First to Find prize awaiting you.
• In fact, the cache is a micro and contains nothing but a boring logsheet. And knowing our weather, it's probably damp too.
• I am so confident that you will not log that I did not even put in a pen.
• To make matters worse, surrounding skyscrapers will make your GPSr or smartphone reading bounce all over the place, you may not even make it to GZ.
The ONLY thing you have to reward yourself from searching out this cache is just adding another find to your total. Just one number more. No glory. Just a number. Just another lame mint container. Show the world that Hong Kong geocachers (and geo-tourists) are NOT addicted to Geocaching!
Good luck!
My sympathies to AirQ for claiming FTF. He really can't help it.
