Geocache Description:

Here is your chance to prove to the world you aren't hooked on geocaching.


How?


DON'T LOG THIS CACHE !!!!

Some people are just natural-born geocachers. If you're the kind of person that spent your childhood playing spy games, exploring the woods behind your house turning over every rock to see what you could find, or just hiding everyday objects in out-of-the-way places where nobody would know to look, chances are you were born to cache.

Many cachers just naturally have personality traits that lead to easily becoming hooked on caching. Maybe it's the thrill of taking part in something that the average person never has a clue about; maybe it's the chance to get out and explore the world. Let's face it ... whatever the reason, geocaching can be addictive!

Are you hooked on geocaching? If so, this is your chance to overcome your addiction. How? Do not log this cache, even if it is among the easiest around and right here in front of you begging to be found! If you can drive within a mile of this location and are able to not search for this cache, feel free to share your success story by logging a note below! We can think of several cachers who will see this cache at the top of their "nearest caches" page, and their first reaction will be to go out and find it. We know who you are. You know who you are. We all know that it's easy to get hooked on this sport.

But it's not an addiction if you don't want to quit, right? Well, what if you wanted to? We doubt you can do it! This is just one of the many warning signs of a geocaching addiction. Experts on the subject have identified a number of other warning signs to be on the lookout for including the following:

- You are familiar with acronyms like "TNLNSL", "TFTC" and "FTF."

- You know the zip codes of all your out-of-town relatives off the top of your head, and you actually look forward to visiting your in-laws.

- You no longer talk to your friends or relatives about geocaching ... none of them will allow it.

- You find yourself having to explain to your significant other why there is a never-ending shortage of Tupperware containers in the kitchen.

- You begin making grocery purchases based on the items' usefulness as cache containers.

- You will willingly hike through wet woods - and ford a stream - in the dark - in your "business casual" attire to bag a find.

- When you tell your spouse you "have to work late" or "run a quick errand" you're not fooling anyone.

- You travel everywhere with a flashlight and tweezers.

If this describes you, chances are you have an addiction to geocaching. This cache is here to help. In order to prove that you have the willpower to resist locating a cache if you want to, we put out this cache for the sole purpose of not being logged!

Not that you're going to look for it (willpower, remember!) but this cache's container is a film canister - nothing special there! And it really doesn't matter that you can park right next to it, because you won't be looking for it. Heck, there's no view, nothing historic nearby, and you don't have to make an epic hike to get to it. There's no challenging puzzle to solve, no trading items, and no multi's or offsets to master. Forget about the crisp, clean logsheet and the really helpful hint - who needs them? Even the coordinates are accurate to 10’ ... there’s just no excuse as to why you couldn’t find this cache. In fact, there's absolutely nothing to be gained from finding this cache except another "smilie" , another red checkmark, and a number added to your stats. So there's really no good reason to locate this, except because it's there!

Good luck and best wishes not finding this cache ! Remember, we're here to help!
