Geocache Description:


The following idea was shamelessly stolen with permission from "Hide it and they will come" (GCYMBP)
I mean come on. Why invent when you can reinvent?

An now for an experiment in geocaching. Answering that age old question passed down thru the ages. (At least since 2001 that is.)

Will cachers go after a hide if they know in advance that it sucks? There’s one way to find out…

Dedicated to all the hiders out there who toss a cheesy cache in a location of no significance just because they can.

Lame caches are always a hot topic of discussion on the Geocaching forums.

The following is a list for some of the Elements of Lameness (EoL) crammed into a single hide…
Please feel free to suggest additional elements!!!.

Terrible location: You betcha!

Horrible scenic view: Concrete buildings, asphalt and scrubbrush. Oh! How attractive.

Iffy place to park: It's a recycling dump! Gravel, gravel everywhere!

Sloppy coordinates: If it's good enough for Google Earth it's good enough for me.

Intermittent GPS reception: Guess that depends on the weather.

Squishy Wet log: Not yet - but wait until it rains a couple times.

Ammo can?: Don't be stupid.

Shoddy camo: Get real. How about NO camo!

Hint in description: Come on, do you really need a hint? It is WAY too easy for a hint. But... If you are still not sure where to look, maybe you might want to consider taking up another hobby. I hear your mothers bridge club has an opening.

Inane hint: See below.

Talking to authorities or about what you’re doing: I have no idea.

Total muggle count: Recycling drop-off, just how many people do you THINK are around?.

You need to write?: You should have been prepared, right?

Cache empty of trade swag: Nope, nothing, nada, zip, zilch, etc, etc, etc. (Like I would waste my money here.)

Absence of FTF prize: Only if you want one of the rocks or leaves laying around. I think I saw a bottle cap nearby.

Cache rating/size wrong: Yes, it's WAY over rated. Oh, and the cache size is listed wrong too. Go figure.

How do the Attributes pertain to the location?: Not at all!!!

Ever have an original idea?: Ha! I know it ain't so. I got this idea from geocaching.com and I bet I'm not the first and even the name has been used before.

Now for the good part. The satisfaction you’ll get from this find isn’t the search but the opportunity to trash it in front of the rest of the caching community.

How many times have you wanted to write a scathing log but didn't.
You didn't want to start trouble.
You didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
You didn't want to seem like a "Grumpy Cat".

Well here is your big chance to be honest and tell the world the truth!!
Feel completely free to mention in your log how crappy this cache really is. The more insulting, the better. To add to the lameness of this cache, the owner may be extremely sad to get any any joyful, bubbly logs such as “Found it" "Thanks for the fun hide” or “Nice cache”.

Feel free to post spoiler pictures of the container or ground zero so this will be even less of a challenge for others.

It's out there mocking you right now... It keeps coming up in your searches... You know you want to find this thing....you can hear it calling...

~ffffiiinnndddd mmmeeee...ffffiiiinnnnnddddd mmmmmeeeee.....~
