We're 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 Find, and then race back to log it in and remove it from your top 25 list. Ahhhhh. All is in order again.
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, virtually no physical challenge whatsoever.
• There are no breathtaking views.
• There are no cool first finder gifts.
• You can walk right up to the cache.
• The cache is hidden in a tree.
The ONLY thing you have to reward yourself from searching out this cache is just adding another find to your total. No glory. Just a number. Show the world how strong you are. You can stop Geocaching anytime you want. Really you can.
If you have either found this cache, one like it, or are doing your best to resist, a new support group has been created to encourage..um..uh...I mean...gulp...help you in overcoming...um...yeah.... overcoming this dreaded addiction! Visit "Geocacher's Anonymous" on Facebook!
