+Naturesprite Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 (edited) The "Who's this cacher" thread made me think of how geocaching can be like dating: 1. The best caches aren't the ones on a street corner. 2. While the small urban caches are the sleekest and most stylish, they often lack content. 3. Like dating, you can hunt for a long time and log many DNF's before you find the cache that meets your standards (especially if you are an elitest:). 4. Sometimes you find a cache and it's toys are broken 5. There is a fine line between caching and stalking. 6. Caches and dates can both have travel bugs. 7. If you have a great cache, you have to worry more about it getting muggled. 8. The better caches have more geocoin. 9. If you don't have any real caches, you can always do a virtual. 10. When you finally find the cache of your dreams you can hold an "Event" cache to celebrate. 11. If you have a really popular cache, it usually requires more maintenance. 12. Sometimes a cache is more fun in the dark than in the light. Any others? I could have come up with more but wanted to keep it clean for the kids.

bug and snake Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I saw the thread title and thought 'Oh dear, another silly waste of space thread.....' But no! That is very clever and funny and stuff...... Nice one! Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Very good!!!!!! Applauding!!!! Here are a couple: Sometimes you might travel for a quality long distance cache There are many caches in the wilderness (I was going to say sea, but that really isn't right) Sometimes a cache holds junk, but some hold real treasure Quote Link to comment
+SamLowrey Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I took a girl on a date caching. She wouldn't return my phone calls afterwards. Quote Link to comment
+clearpath Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 If your date turns out to be a 'puzzle cache' ... you can always log a DNF and go look for another one. Quote Link to comment
+ShadowAce Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 You spend alot of time, money and effort to find out it was a disappointment and worthless. -=Doh! Quote Link to comment
+2qwerqE Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 If your cache is cheap, you get McDonalds. It's important to perform cache maintenance when things get moldy and soggy. Watch out for those engineered cache containers; they often degrade more easily. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Sometimes it's just the enjoyment of the hunt that makes it all worthwhile. You never know what you will find until you open the box. Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 People never believe you if you log lots of them, especially in the same day. Quote Link to comment
koz Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 i have the best virtual! Quote Link to comment
+Jeep_Dog Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Cache may be big, and some cache may be small.... but it is not the size but what's inside that really counts. Quote Link to comment
+clearpath Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I love it when my date smells like an ammo can ... (to borrow a line) there's nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning. Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 And be careful of the crawly-things you can pick up from being around the cache! Quote Link to comment
+clearpath Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 People never believe you if you log lots of them, especially in the same day. In your case Mopar, I would believe you ... Quote Link to comment
+Colorado Cacher Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 If u dont like your find u can always shove it back into the can and look for one better. JUST KIDDING. Quote Link to comment
kanske Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 how about "It's always nice to log a First to Find!" Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I'd rather spend hours on a challenging multi than to pick up a fast one by the side of the road. Quote Link to comment
+wolves shepherd Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ways they are different..... A geocache won't think you are a freak if you bring a bunch of friends along.... No matter how great a cache is, you can only log it once... Travel bugs are a bonus in a cache. Caches don't care how many caches you've already had...or that your planning on finding more! You won't scare off a cache by bringing your kids....or spouse! If you have a bad experience with a cache it won't tell all the other caches! The local SWAT team doesn't show up and shoot your date after you take them out in broad daylight. You can date on military installations and National Parks.... You can date without an approval. It's cool to talk about your caching exploits on-line... Even if you're FTF a cache, the owner won't make you marry it! Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ummm...I've done pretty much every available one in a twenty mile radius and picked up a bunch of bugs in the process... (My dad's not gonna like that.) Quote Link to comment
