Do I really?!

[+Raddad637]

Tell me. Now that I'm into Geocaching so much, do I really still have to cut the lawn?

[+va griz]

No. Geocaching is like a get out of jail free card for yard work.

[+Mugiwara Kaizoku]

Lawn cutting time = cache plotting time

[+sharom12]

My initial answer was no, but if the grass grows long enough, your spouse could use it as a convenient place to hide her first cache (your body). LOL!

[+kohldad]

Of course not, the taller grass raises the difficulty level for the cache you hide in yard ornaments.

As being a spouse who doesn't cut the lawn, my answer would be "Yes, as long as you are concentrating primarily on figuring out the clues that that one multicache....."

 

[+briansnat]

Yep. Did mine just yesterday. It was knee high in places and kept choking the lawnmower.

[+Raddad637]

Hmmm. 3 say yes and 3 say no. I'll throw in the tiebreaker myself.

 

I say no. In my experience, if you let it go long enough, neighborhood kids come around and offer to cut it for you, maybe for a good price.

Leave it...

 

Around here, if you let it go long enough, and ignore the "Noxious Weeds" notices the city puts on your door, they will nicely come and cut it for you while you are out caching.

 

Of course, they send you a bill and fine totaling over 200 bucks.

Spoken from experience?

Just rip it all out and Xeroscape it, problem solved. A little artifical grass in the back yard = plenty caching time.

that is why im glad that i live in an apartment. no grass to cut and more time for caching.

 

although the astro-turf idea sounds pretty good to me

I was thinking the same thing. Actually, thus just happened to our neighbors a couple weeks ago!

 

I say you better cut it or your wife will get all mad and say <insert nagging wife voice> "you spend all your time caching, not taking care of things around the house!" and then she'll not want you to go caching anymore.

[+briansnat]

Here is my advice:

 

1. never water your grass

 

2. pray that it doesn't rain

 

3. never use fertilizer

 

4. As long as the weeds are green, I say live and let live.

 

Do this and you only have to cut it 3-4 times every year.

Yeah! Geocaching is more important... I even let them turn off the electric so I'd have more gas money to go caching.

 

Seriously, a couple years ago, a house next to mine went into foreclosure, and nosey me would read all the stuff taped to the door.

#3 - I disagree with, I say fertilize the heck out of the grass, and eventually it will burn up and die... Problem solved.

My wife is out there caching with me. We both are not taking care of things around the house.

1. I never do. Develops a deeper root system that way and requires less water to survive.

 

2. Around Seattle? Get real!

 

3. What's fertilizer?

 

4. Because of 1 & 2, they stay greener than most of the lawns in the area

 

I really should mow it more often.
