Geocache Description:

This cache was placed to help you prove either or both of two things:
1) You are not addicted to geocaching.
2) You really do hate light-pole caches.

If you fit into either of these two categories:

DO NOT LOG THIS CACHE!!!!!!

This cache is of the most unimaginative, uninspired light-pole cache genre. It is in a typical parking lot in a typical light-pole. It is a typical Wal-Mart orange match-safe. Nothing special about the container. Nothing special about the location. No special “thrill of the hunt.” No special feeling of accomplishment, in fact you feel a little soiled.

If you claim that you are not addicted to geocaching, prove it by NOT logging this cache. Just be forewarned, every time you pass this area, your GPS will let you know that it is there. Every time you run a pocket query, it will be there, calling out to you. The “(unfound) Geocache” icon will be there on your screen, taunting you. But, you can handle it, because you are NOT addicted to geocaching.

If you claim that you really HATE light-pole caches, prove it by NOT logging this cache. Even though it is right there, this is your chance to prove your loathing of this type of micro. No great scenery. Not a difficult hunt. Just another match-safe in another light-pole. PROVE YOUR DISDAIN proudly! We won’t be offended.

As an added bonus, this cache holds something for those new to the game. It will give you great practice in searching for urban micros. It will also give you a chance to start denying your addiction before it’s too late.

As for the First-to-finder, there is no special prize, only shame. Your name on the log sheet will only prove that you are addicted and that it doesn’t matter where the cache is as long as you get the log on your stats. A support group for your addiction is available in the area. They meet on the first Tuesday of every month at a local restaurant. More info can be found by going to MSGA.net and searching the NEW FORUMS for “(insert current month) Eat and Greet” for time and location.

If you are unable or unwilling to “pass it up”, you may want to be as discreet as possible. Muggles may be numerous in this area, depending on the season (baseball-, crawfish-, office party-). If you can “pass it up”, being discreet is not an issue.

Do yourself a favor,

DO NOT LOG THIS CACHE!!!!
