"Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions."
This statement of quote is all too fitting for Geocaching. Once that rabbit hole of awesome adventure is plunged into, one can no longer look at a hole in the ground, an oddly shaped tree, a rock in the middle of nowhere or a normal city object (i.e. sticker) without wondering. The brain has trouble closing off the possibilities that lurk around every corner, in every tree branch and in every stump.
The statement also holds for this crazy thing called a caching streak I have ventured down, it has become so engrained into my daily activities that on good days I don't think twice. On great days there are massive plans of high proportions, hills to climb, walks to take and places to venture to. Only on bad days does the mind go, "You can do this, besides, you need a moment for yourself." That being said, there is great debate in this household about whether the person who likes to go the wrong way, but still manages to find them amazingly enough, can actually put the GPS down for one day when bodily injury (es) didn't take it to a standstill. Now, the Giggleboys have full faith in their Mommy. They know she can and will be able to put it down, walk away, and not write purple ink on a log for 24 hours. However, the Hole Brained one says, with much taunting, that Mommy can not. That's it become too habitual, and Mommy can't break it.
Guess who I'm going to prove wrong?
So come join us if you'd like at Ron's Drive-In (why broke what ain't fixed) to celebrate the culmination of 1200 days of caching on June 12th. The last day of school, the day the youngest Giggleboy gets his foot checked, the day a Dozen Hundredths (a name aptly picked by EZDAZ) comes to a quiet conclusion.
