Do Not Find This Cache! - 2nd Crossing Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

02Bhkn: Not just the log, but two travel bugs and the lid were missing. I removed two pieces of swag and the lidless container. I will place a different Do Not Find This Cache! at a new location soon.

thanks to everyone who made witty comments and did or did not find this cache! It has been fun reading the logs.

Geocache Description:

Do you have a problem with geocaching?

I plagerized this cache from http://coord.info/GCXJ8M, http://coord.info/GC3E6N0, http://coord.info/GC1V9WM, and http://coord.info/GC7086.

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 at how your life is affected by geocaching. If you answer "yes" to all of the questions, you may wish to get Help! (http://coord.info/GC37EZ8).

Have you missed classes or work because of geocaching?
Do you have trouble refusing geocaching?
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 lie to others about how often you partake in geocaching?
Have you gotten into financial difficulties because of geocaching?
Do you no longer talk to your friends or relatives about geocaching … because none will allow it?
Do you check the Geocaching.com web site more than once a day?
Has Altoids suddenly become your favorite candy?
Are you always looking for a hiding spot, everywhere you go?
Are you are familiar with words like, 'gerr', 'ybt', 'fghzc', 'ebpx', 'gur', 'yvsg' and 'oruvaq'?
Did you name your youngest child "Micro?"
When everyone else puts a quarter in the coffee fund jar in the office break room, do you TAKE a quarter and LEAVE a Travel Bug, then cover the jar with pine straw?

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 100 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 100 list.

Ahhhhh! Order again.

The questions you must ask yourself are: How strong am I? Can I resist searching out this cache?

Show the world how strong you are. You can stop Geocaching anytime you want. Really you can...

"Fiiiind meeee..."


The cache is a short walk from a pull out along Houston Mesa Road, nine miles north of Payson. There is no need to get near the edge to find the cache.
The original container was won in a raffle at an event. I replaced it Feb 9, 2014 with a different container.
