Geocache Description:


Did you ever call in sick in the morning and yet manage to summon up enough strength to go caching in the afternoon?

Have you ever climbed out of bed and run to the computer to check the new cache listings even before having your first cup of coffee?

Has your boss taken you aside and asked about the smell of DEET when you come back from a long lunch? (Ask MikeB about this one)

Have you ever yelled out, "Found it!" in moments of passion?

Did you ever promise your family you're just going after one cache and will be back in twenty minutes and then arrive home three hours and seven caches later?

Are you exhausted in the morning because you didn't sleep a wink all night trying to figure out the solution to the newest puzzle cache?

Do the people at the local dollar store know you by name?

Has your family threatened to have you committed if you don't stay home long enough to ___________ (replace blank with whatever you're neglecting: mow the lawn, clean the house, do the laundry, etc.)?

You don't care if its 97 degrees outside, the West Niles Virus, Lime disease and rabid skunks are at a peak, you've been offered tickets to a prestigious sports event, and your girlfriend is ready to call it quits. You just have to find that new local cache before someone else beats you to it!

Do you know that "gur" translates into the word "the" on encrypted clues?

If you can answer yes to any of these statements, then you most likely suffer from: ** “Simple Addictive Caching Disorder" ** This is the most common affliction caused by way too much geocaching. There are a few more caching afflictions which are a little less common but a bit more complex.

The generalized feeling of anguish when you realize that you do not qualify for the latest challenge cache! - “Depressive Caching Disorder”

When you realize that you likely will NEVER qualify for it, either! - “Excessive Depressive Caching Disorder”

You can experience some strange symptoms while working on puzzle caches. For instance, the feeling you get when you really don't like trying to work through some complex cryptic code. You throw up your hands in disgust when the cache page only has a bunch of hanging monkeys or you’re fed up with figuring out a recipe of what somebody ate the past two days. – “Chaotic Caching Disorder”

You get a headache from trying to cross your eyes and stare beyond a blob of colors to see some numbers that will not appear for some who are not so genetically inclined. - “Sensory Processing Caching Disorder”

You find yourself unwilling or unable to use the “ignore” function on your cache page. You feel as though you MUST find every type and style of cache within a hundred square miles of your home location. You MUST accomplish this feat even if it means abandoning any and all family functions and/or work to get er done! If your spouse suggests a weekend away and you check how many caches are in the area before you agree to go. – “Obsessive Compulsive Caching Disorder”

You find yourself at the local sporting goods store pondering buying a $1,500 watercraft just so you can get the 2 water caches in your hundred mile range. You have a fear of water; you cannot swim; you cannot afford the watercraft; you will NEVER use the watercraft again; but the thought of leaving 2 caches unfound by you is WAY more than you can bear! – “Extreme Obsessive Compulsive Caching Disorder”

All of that being said, the cache IS at the above coordinates! In order to log the cache you must adhere to some pretty intense guidelines which are outlined below! You have a life outside of geocaching. You haven't found 10 caches with over 100 favorite points! You don’t really care about your stats or anyone else’s for that matter. You haven't found 10 caches a day for a year! You don't go streaking and you don't even remotely come close to being fizzy! Politics Schmolitics! Leave that for the fat cats in Washington! You go geocaching because its fun and you LOVE to go geocaching, plain and simple! To qualify for this challenge cache, you have to have found at least ONE cache and this cache can qualify!

FINALLY, a challenge with equal opportunity... !!!!!!! Please be courteous, clean and respectful of the area. NO night caching in this area. Please use stealth when visitors are nearby. Please rehide the cache at least as good as you found it. Don't forget to bring a camera! (No MICRO here! An epic Challenge deserves and epic cache! You will be finding a Big Fat Ammo Can!)
