Geocache Description:

DO NOT LOG THIS CACHE - Concord, NC

THE PURPOSE OF THIS CACHE IS TO PROVE THAT YOU HAVE THE WILL POWER TO RESIST IT...
OR ARE YOU A GEOHOLIC TOO???



The Coordinates were averaged 500 times to under 7' accuracy. But that wont matter anyway because you wont even need your GPS after you see the picture!!!
Here is your chance to prove to the world you aren't hooked on geocaching. How? DO NOT 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. We'll admit it, we love adventure and exploring... Why? For no other reason than why not!

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 muggle 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 is addictive!

Are you hooked on geocaching? If so, this is your chance to overcome your addiction. How? Do not locate this cache, even though it's among the easiest around and right here in front of you begging to be found! If you can drive by on I-85 or visit Concord Mills Mall 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 phrases like ‘TN-LN-SL’ and ‘FTF’
- You know the zip codes of all your out-of-town relatives off the top of your head.
- 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.
- Your driveway is covered with spray-painted cache box silhouettes.
- You begin making grocery purchases based on the items' usefulness as cache containers.

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! If you're thinking about locating this cache, chances are you fall into one of three categories:

Locals: Unless you're a premium member and take advantage of the ignore feature, you'll have the hardest time resisting this cache. It will appear on your nearest caches list for as long as it remains unfound. Every time you check to see if any new caches have been hidden nearby, it will be here waiting, calling your name...

Vacationers: This cache is right off interstate 85 at exit 49... Just behind Concord Mills Mall in a remote parking lot. It's also one of the more popular exits if you want some thing to eat... or a place to spend the night... or need gas... Admit it, you plan both your pit stops and your vacations around geocaching. Don't be ashamed, you're not alone...

Travelers: You may have the least challenge overcoming the temptation to log this cache, since there are several good caches in nearby areas that you can grab instead. Still, though, there are plenty of restaurants and gas stations at this exit, so you may find it nearly impossible to resist stopping during your drive through the Concord area...

This is probably one of the lamest park-and-grab micros you'll ever find... no more than 5 minutes of your time! You don't even have to enter any woods to find it. Matter of fact, you can drive within 10 feet... there's just no excuse as to why you couldn't find this. There's also no interesting history lesson, no trade items, no challenge, and chances are you probably don't have to worry about being too stealthy. In fact, there's nothing to be gained from finding this cache except another check mark and a number added to your stats... So there's really no good reason to locate this cache, except because it's there!

Oh Yeah... If you find yourself too weak to resist the temptation to find the cache, be sure to re-hide it back in the exact same spot so that others can find it as easily as you will!!!



Prove your will power now and log a note - we dare you - Good luck at not finding this!
