Does this description fit you? Yes? Then you are most definitely addicted to caching.This cache will help you ..but how?
DO NOT LOG IT!!
The trial to know if you can resist geocaching is: ARE YOU STRONG ENOUGH NOT TO LOOK FOR THIS CACHE?
There is nothing special about this cache:
- No glory, no special cache just a simple nano
- No landscape, nothing to look at
- No trackable - you will only find a logbook, not even a pencil!
- I will not be congratulating the FTF at 6am, who drove 60 miles for it, who lied to his/her family, hiding the fact that he/ she had to feed their addiction, worse even if you dragged your whole family out to find this silly little nano
Do you look at the map that shows the closest caches to your home, are you happy that you have logged them all? Well this cache will not match like all the others. It will be the only green cache amongst a sea of yellow smilies. You will only see this one, like a fly on your screen, winking at you, staring at you calling to you "fiiiiind meeeeee" It's like an obsession. But you only have one thing to do..RESIST IT!
Its one of the easiest caches to get, you can just park and grab it, you don't need to swim in a nettle sea, to climb through thorns, or to cry in front of a wall covered in IVY, if you look for it, you can't DNF it! But don't try to find it. The only thing you get is a +1 in your caches total, thre is NO reason to find it, but.... it's there, it exists....it is taunting you!
If you cannot resist it..then you should log a 500 word essay explaining to me how long you resisted for and why you felt the need to log it when specifically told not to. I would like you to demonstrate a full understanding of the breadth and depth of your addiction.(obviously an optional logging requirement)
Good luck NOT to find it!
