Geocache Description:

GAS (Geocaching Addiction Syndrome) Series: #1

GAS: GEOCACHING ADDICTION SYNDROME

You know who you are. You can't resist going out in the middle of the night to be FTF. You're irritable when you can't leave work to find a new cache. You probably won't even read the rest of this page before heading out...


This is an actual cache but DO NOT FIND THIS CACHE! unless you have GAS that is.

Resist the temptation. Be strong...

There's no great view, long hike, FTF prize or geocoins in the cache. So, why go find it?

If you choose to give in to your addiction then go far it! Option: give us an explanation as to why you you think you are NOT an addict.
