At first, I started bringing "outdoor"clothes to work and would change into them in the office bathroom at the end of the day.

 

Next, I brought my change of clothes to work and left them in the car so I could change into them while stopping at a bathroom along the way to a geocache.

 

Then, I started changing into those clothes while in my car and parked at the trailhead.

 

Then, I started changing into them while partly getting out of the parked car.

 

Today, I changed into them while outside the car in front of some lady.

 

Gawd....I've lost all dignity.

When you stop at every guardrail or light post just because "There has to be a cache hidden there!"  :D

Sunday I called JoGPS on his cell phone to ask him if there were any micros in Bicentennial park because I was there just because and was trying to resist the urge to go and lift every light pole cover.

 

I think my mother laughed at me for a good five minutes when I did that.

 

And then he said there weren't any like that and I still had to resist the urge to check.

Yeah, what if a cache was approved since the time you talked to him and you arrived at the cache site? You've got to think about these things.. ;);)

... you buy $10 worth the swag everytime you go to Wal-Mart regardless of how quick you intended to make your visit.

 

... you wait another day before leaving on vacation because you're waiting on 5 more PQ's.

We were spending some time in Charleston and I had 950 waypoints loaded. We went out to Fort Sumter where Night Attack is. I had the location and knew it was a virt but I didn't have the requirements. I called my Mom to have her look it up but she wasn't home and I didn't get to log it.

When you take the entire engine crew out for "excersice"  , to get the newest cache when your on duty!

:D I do this all the time with AMH209 in our ambulance-- and he's a SUPERVISOR!!! :D

 

Glad to know we're not the only ones!!!

 

How about:

 

You wait anxiously for your kids to lose interest in their Kids Meal toys so you can add them to your stash for the next caching trip.
