+DocDiTTo Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment
