You are late to work because you just had to stop off and try for a FTF on the way.

 

You are wearing a 3 piece suit in the woods trying to get a FTF on your lunch break.

You've taken a conference call in the middle of the woods standing over a cache.

Wow. I've totally done all three of those. Well, it was a two-piece suit. (Short people look funny in a vest.) :D

You plan your vacation around what caches are where.

And just what is wrong with that????

 

I have no problem with it at all. I also look to see if there are any near my kids school field trips in case I decide to go with them and drive myself. I got a couple last year when my daughter went to the zoo.

 

:):D:D

You may be a geocaching junkie if...

 

- You shoot up between finds

- Those little plastic baggies you put your logs in previously contained controlled substances

- All the callers to your cell phone use code names, but less than half are looking for info on caches

- Most of the waypoints in your GPS are to growing fields

- You perfected the art of the camo'd urban stash long before you started caching

- Every time you roll up a micro log sheet you get the urge to light it up

 

:D

...You can't wait for your school band's trip to Italy and Austria because... sure Mozart's cool, but think of all those geocaches!

...And you've forced the other members in your group to pick certain free time options to find geocaches/waymarks without leaving the boundaries.

...And have devised plans on how to leave said boundaries to find the rest of them.

...And you've converted a few new geocachers in the process.

You find 4 State Park approved caches at the next trip for your scout troop. It's legit, a little map and compass, GPSr is being introduced and, well, they need a 5 mile hike for rank advancement, right? :laughing:

you beg the hotel "service car driver" for just one more stop. .63 miles away and drag him into the woods in hopes he'll convert and let you do "one more" just one more time.

. . . if you take 7 months to repair the hurricane damage to your home because you spend 1 day per weekend painting and the other caching. (At least that's what my husband says!) ;)

You may be a Geocaching Junkie If.......... You have been stopped by your local police more than twice while caching.

....you place a cache and anxiously await/lurk nearby hoping you'll see a geocacher...sometimes hard to spot 'cuz they look like 'normal' people, but we know better. Seesides and Empress Ophelia....nice meeting you.

I realized I had way too many gizmos with me when I started tapping my GPS screen with my PALM's stylus.

 

You do that too.....

 

when it happened to me I just put my head down and walked away.

When you run out at midnight for a just-published FTF, knowing you have to be up early the next morning for your local monthly cache event... <_<

 

Guess I'd better go to bed now.
