We're here to help. This cache is a test to see how addicted to Geocaching you really are. 
 

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-to-Find, and then race back to log it in (or log it from your Mobile Device...right there on-the-spot before anyone else tries to beat you to it!) and remove it from your top 25 list. 
 

The only thing you have to gain from searching out this cache is just adding another find to your total. 

Show the world how strong you are. You can stop Geocaching anytime you want. Really you can... 
 

It seems that there are some fellow cachers out there that think they can log this cache without stepping out of the comfort of home. That's not the idea here. If you log this cache, you MUST sign the log book in the cache to claim the find. If not, your log here will be removed. But hey, no one here is addicted anyways. Right? 

If you are a recovering cache-a-holic, and can resist the temptation, please log as a DNF and share your success story.
 

There are numerous DO NOT FIND THIS CACHE hides around the world but historical research shows that the first one of those is offered by Team Cheesehead of Wisconsin (GC7086) placed in July of 2002. The first one of these that i personally found was "Do NOT Find This Cache!!" (GCQW83) in Missoula, Montana, October 14, 2010. This is just one of the latest to follow this addictive trend.
