You’re determined to find another cache, knowing that you should have filled up before leaving, and run out of gas just 1 mile from the gas station. And you had pasted 4 gas stations while looking for the caches! Then your better half calls on the cell and she has to bring you more gas. Busted!

...you keep telling yourself you can't hide more than you find.

...you are kept awake all night because of that creative cache you found. now the ideas for similar ones won't stop.

...your family and friends still don't understand your hobby, but love you anyway.

...you wonder if you could get that catnip smell out of the "real look" mouse you seen in the store.(it has a pocket and everything. just imagine )

...a micro is hanging in front of your computer screen"drying".

...you are sure you ate, just can't remember when.

...you feel sorry for towns with no caches.

...you feel the need to place caches in said towns for someone to find.

...because of lack of nutrients and sleep deprivation, you feel the need to find someone in said town to teach about caching.

You watch movies and think.....hmmmm, I bet there is a cache there, or what a great place for a cache!

My recent fav, you see a crime scene on the local news and blurt out during dinner "There's a cache there!"

Oh and fishing vests are the bomb for caching!

Ah, we went to see the Broadway play "Wicked" yesterday. (Great play! Andy Bear gives it Four Paws Up!) The stage curtain has a map of Oz. I stared at it looking for geocache icons. None. :rolleyes:

In the first act, Elphaba (the Wicked Witch) is born. My first reaction was "She looks like Signal, the Frog!"

My boyfriend (also a cacher - that's how we met, in fact), gave me a ring last Christmas (albeit not an engagement ring)... it was in a micro in the Christmas tree. After we'd all opened our gifts, he sat there with a funny smile and told me there was a cache in the tree... sure enough - little camo-taped round plastic box with a beautilful Emerald ring in it :grin:

Isn't he a romantic devil? I loved it!
