Signal's Law

[+aviatik]

Cache is always on the other side of river/fence/deep gorge etc.

[+Castle Mischief]

The object blocking the trail will make an appearance before you get to the caches.

 

(This happened to me last Friday.)

 

 

Which leads to...

 

The only day all year you see a snake is the day you cache alone.

 

...several hundred feet from the car and in a area with bad cell reception.

If you think you need about 20 minutes to hike that .2 miles to the cache and get back to the car - tell your wife 45 minutes - that way you'll be back in about 60 minutes.

When you forget your swag at home the cache will be filled with great high quality trade items. Conversely, if you come prepared with great high quality trade items the cache will be filled only with broken pencils and soggy temporary tattoos.

The time you choose to search for a caching buddy is the time all the caching buddies you know in your area are busy with a saturated schedule.

[+The Cache Checkers]

You take your four year old to a cache that is empty and he has a fit because there is nothing for him. You take him to a cache where it's filled with stuff he'd like and he has a fit because he can't take it all.

The day you go caching and it's nice and sunny is the day you will have to look in a deep hidey hole and have left your flashlight at home.

The day you go caching and it's nice and sunny is the day you will have to look in a deep hidey hole and have left your flashlight at home.

Corollary : the one tool you need is the one you left at home, or in your car in the parking lot 5 miles away.

Bummer...Your wife is leaving for work in the morning and you have the day off. She says "Go have a nice time and enjoy yourself. I will see you back here at dinner time". You feel great, no chores to do and an understanding better half. You get out on the trail and you feel guilty because your having too much fun and cut your trip short and head home, get cleaned up and take her to dinner later.

The day you see an eagle land in a tree & feed its baby.........is the day you left your camera home.

Wait - I thought this thread is about Murphy's Law as applied to geocaching, and not about creative fiction?

You set your mini led mag lite at a cache and backtrack 45 miles and 20 stops to find it because you're wife won't let you get yet another replacement

In the forest, GPS accuracy gets worse the closer you get to the cache you're looking for.

I didnt say that it was a consistant behaviour for her....I guess it caught me off guard and she out flanked me that day. I guess shes been reading Cosmo again.
