I can think of several cachers who will see this cache at the top of their nearest cache listing, and their first reaction will be to go out and find it. You know who you are. We all know that it's easy to get hooked on this hobby. But it's not an addiction if you don't want to quit, right? Well, what if you wanted to? I doubt you can do it. This is just one of the many warning signs of a geocaching addiction. Experts on the subject have identified a number of other warning signs to be on the lookout for including the following:
You are familiar with abbreviations like TNLNSL, TFTC, FTF, OPOR etc
You are a premium member and you have the latest version of GSAK.
You no longer talk to your friends or relatives about geocaching ... none of them will allow it.
You find yourself having to explain to your significant other why there is a never-ending shortage of Tupperware containers in the kitchen.
Your driveway is covered with spray-painted cache box silhouettes.
You plan your holliday, by looking at caches en route and at the destination.
You are familiar with rot13 and can read encrypted hints without a key.
You begin making grocery purchases based on an item's usefulness as a cache container.
If this describes you, chances are you are addicted to geocaching. This cache is there to help you. This cache was placed in order to prove that you have the willpower to resist finding it. It was placed for the sole purpose of not being logged. This is probably one of the lamest park-and-grab micros you'll ever find … we’re talking no more than 5 minutes of your time. You don't even have to enter the woods or climb a ladder. There’s just no excuse as to why you wouldn’t find this cache. There's also no interesting history lesson, no trade items, no challenge, no view, no nice hike. In fact, there's nothing to be gained from finding this cache except another yellow smiling face and numbers added to your stats. So there's really no good reason to find this, except because it's there! Good luck and best wishes in not finding this cache. Be strong, you can do it.
PS.......... If you just cannot resist the urge to go find the cache, bring your own pen.
