1. To be moved from cache to cache by geocachers who do, or may not, recognize
their addiction to geocaching.
2. To travel to the "Do Not Log This Cache" geocaches.
Please log this geocoin when you find it and don't forget to mark it as dropped
when it goes back into a cache. This geocoin has an extra feature. When you
log it as found in the
travelbug
section of geocaching.com, a special icon will appear in the user
stats section of your profile.
About the mission - There are a number of "Do Not Log This Cache"
geocaches whose purpose is to taunt those who do not recognize their addiction
to geocaching. They appear in the table below with links to the cache page.
Please help this geocoin to move through each of the listed caches. (Dipping
the coin in a cache too small to hold it is perfectly acceptable.) As the coin
visits the caches below, I'll shade the boxes.

Addiction - What is addiction? Read on at your own risk . . .
Although the term addiction is often bantied about, the correct term is dependance.
When one peruses the Diagnostic and Statistical manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR)
one finds a detailed set of criteriia for chemical dependency. I've taken the
liberty of substituting geocaching into the DSM criteria.
According to the DSM, dependency is the presence of three or more of the criteria
occurring at some time within a 12 month period.
- Tolerance - the need to find more and more caches on geocaching outings.
(Or, a finding a few just doesn't do the same thing for you as it used to.)
- Withdrawal - feeling bad when not geocaching
- The individual may geocache more or over longer periods than originally
intended. "I'll just do one more cache before heading home"
- Many unsuccessful attempts to cease or decrease geocaching.
- Spending a great deal of time hunting geocaches
- Daily activities revolve around geocaching.
- Despite recognition that geocaching leads to psychological or physical problems,
the person continues geocaching.
Of course, geocaching is not a "chemical" so one can't truly be dependant on
geocaching - at least in the opinion of this geo-junkie.
