Geocache Description:

Don't worry its NOT a challenge cache, just a puzzle one that you have to figure out. So the posted coordinates would not be a good place to look for this cache. Below is what could have been a challenge.

Another stat auto generated by geocaching, so might as well make a challenge cache with it.

I wanted this to be a challenge cache but wasn't allowed by lz, so the container is not at the posted location, but to log the cache, you must meet the qualification listed below



Wikipedia defines behavioral addiction as a compulsion to repeatedly engage in an action until said action causes serious negative consequences to the person's physical, mental, social, and/or financial well-being. One sign that a behavior has become addictive is if it persists despite these consequences.

My wife always says that I am addicted to caching.  But thanks to the auto generator, I can rebute this with my longest slump stat.  Not that it really helps, she still wins of course.

Prove that you are not and go at least 200 days without a cache find.  If you can, post from your geocaching statistics page a screen shot like I did showing that you have gone more than 200 days without finding a cache.



Now anyone over 14 has gone more than 200 days without caching.  So just going 200 random days at any time in your life time won't work.  You had to have started caching by finding and logging at least one cache, then go 200 days without a cache.  Which is what the auto generating statistic page does.


So count your blessings that we all like to cache and it would be horrible if you were pulled away from caching for whatever reason. Cache on all that can.

But now for the puzzle:

Happy caching!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to Red Crow for the FTF with an over 1k day slump!!!!!
