+Da' Hoffie Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Well, I have to put this up because I have been recently guilty of planning to cache and not doing it...so my question to all, what's the excuse? Mine? 1) Budget constraints...no, I am not a politician. Budget has tightened up since we have missed a few days of work...maybe a little more...so I have to wait for a bit. 2) No one to go with me. Wife's a muggle...so she's out. Friends unavailable. Fellow cachers unavailable. Don't like going alone very much. 3) Tired, trying to catch up on some lost Zzzzs... Lately, a lot. And I have a few more...but I want to see what slows everyone else down. Quote Link to comment
+SeekerOfTheWay Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 No local caches left. Don't want to use gas. Relaxing instead. Working. Not in caching mood. Those are my top reasons when I don't cache. Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 My excuse lately..... Most of the new hides are placed by noobs and the hides often have bad coordinates, are in boring locations, and no originality is involved. I sometimes think: "Why bother?" Quote Link to comment

+golfchick Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I cant use excuses atm, I'm trying for a 100 day streak of caches and after that I'm going for 1000 caches in 6 months! If you dont like caching on your own get a dog, mine comes with me everywhere, bit less lonely! Quote Link to comment
+JL_HSTRE Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Too hot out! THIS. This month I am on pace to set a personal record for fewest caches found in a month. I haven't gotten less than 20 before, but this month I've only gotten 9. It's 90-95 degrees, sunny, and humid here in lovely SE Florida. Also, the mosquitos are horrific in many places. I've been getting my fix via benchmarking. Found about two dozen this month. More fun than most urban P&Gs for me. Edited August 27, 2011 by Joshism Quote Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 1. Running out of local caches. 2. Could do some other nearish caches but their environment is not something I enjoy at all and I'm not going to go somewhere I don't enjoy going for the sake of finding a cache. 3. Need to do other errands on the Saturdays I would be caching. That pretty much sums up my caching excuses right there. Quote Link to comment

+Harry Dolphin Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hurricane Irene is coming through tonight. Only found three caches today... Quote Link to comment
+Raider0fTheLostCache Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 - Gas money - No car available - Local caches running out - I recently acquired a girlfriend. She devours time. Quote Link to comment

+Catydid Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Too hot out. Too many foxtails in that spot. Too many puzzle caches around here and I am clueless about solving puzzles. Perhaps someone should do a adult education class on puzzle solving in my town? Quote Link to comment
+sarahisneat Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 STOP CRYING AND GO CACHING! Quote Link to comment
+nascarwc88 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 No excuses here, we just get out and go. Quote Link to comment
+Postholedigger Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I gotta admit, I use the "out of local caches" one. I'll catch a few if I have to make a trip somewhere or drive to visit friends. One I'm going to be using is, "Daylight savings. It's dark after work." Quote Link to comment
DannyCaffeine Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Too wet out. Nothing is grosser than wet and muddy pants cuffs. Not having a car. If my SN wasn't DannyCaffeine it was going to be BusCacher. Quote Link to comment
+ShaunEM Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I have just started doing it more again. And enjoying it more... I am realizing spring and fall are much better for caching than the middle of summer. My numbers will reflect that in the future. Middle of summer: Bugs, Hot, Overgrown, Bugs, Sunburns, BUGS!

+sshipway Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I have many small children (3 but it sometimes seems like more). We've already done the nearby caches that are T2 or less - can't do a T3 with a 3yrold, I've learnt by experience. Also, they are not interested in micros and most of the caches in Auckland are micros (they live for the swag swapping) So, can't get out of the house as there always seems to be some domestic chores being dumped on me by SWMBO. However, still manage the occasional run with the kids. Did the largest cache in NZ last weekend with 2 of them... http://coord.info/GC1TXCK Quote Link to comment
+Team Empty Planet Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Lately not much in the way of excuses thankfully. But common ones for us are: - Not wanting to waste gas - Weather (heat/rain) - Wanting to relax with our dogs (they aren't quite conducive to caching at times) - Issues finding 24/7 caches since we do a fair amount of night caching lately Quote Link to comment
