So AIDS is Dr. Ruth's fault? :P That would indeed be pathetic, but she was late jumping on the "If it feels good..." joyride. That catch phrase was around long before she attracting any attention.

Here's a slight :ph34r: modification of Walt Whitman's O Captain! My Captain! (My deepest and most sincere apologies to Mr. Whitman!)

 

Oh Cachers! My Cachers! Our fearsome trek is done.

Our feet have weathered every rock, the prize will soon be won!

The cache is near, never fear! The GPS is leading.

While follow I the steady arrow to the cache’s bearing.

But Oh heart! heart! heart!

Oh, the sudden sense of dread!

For on the page, it says the cache

Is a micro quite well hid!

 

Oh Cachers! My Cachers! Rise up and search things well!

Rise up, and search the hollow tree! And search the one that fell!

Search the rocks and rotting stumps; Search ev’ry place worth hiding!

Search under logs, and sticks, and leaves; Search that poison ivy!

Here Cachers! Dear partners!

An aspirin for your head.

It is some dream that on this quest

Our batt’ries have gone dead!

 

My Cachers do not answer, their lips are pale and still.

My partners do not hear my voice; they’ve lost their caching will.

Our trip is over; we’re safe and sound, back in our cachemobile.

We’ll head on home to write a tome about our grave ordeal.

Exalt you others! And log your smileys!

But I am quite bereft,

For the one we couldn’t find—

The cache we DNF’d!

Just for fun, a few fishing related quotes, twisted a bit to apply to geocaching...

 

"Many men go caching all of their lives without knowing that

it is not caches they are after." - Henry David Thoreau

 

"Do not tell cache stories where the people know you; but

particularly, don’t tell them where they know the caches." - Mark

Twain

 

...and perhaps my favorite...

 

"My biggest worry is that my wife (when I’m dead) will sell

my caching gear for what I said I paid for it." - Koos Brandt

I think of this a lot when I am caching. Especially the Travel Bugs.

 

Images of broken light which

dance before me like a million eyes

That call me on and on across the universe

Thoughts meander like a

restless wind inside a letter box

they tumble blindly as they make their way

across the universe

 

Nothing's gonna change my world - The Beatles
