Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

I have often wondered what it is about geocachers that make them geocachers. What is it that lures us to countless empty parking lots or overgrown forests, sometimes searching for hours just to scribble our names on a piece of paper. "Heck", I thought to myself, "sometimes we even spill blood.". And then it hit me. That's exactly it. The atttraction is in our blood, our very DNA. And I can demonstrate it by presenting you with this sequence of geocaching DNA below. With a little research you'll see it, too. BYOP!
