+Zop Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Well, I've been thinking about this but all of my forum searches came up blank so... What are you're thoughts? For me: You know you're a cacher when__________ Your kids chew you out for leaving stckers in the dryer lint screen. When you see someone walking down the trail looking at their cell phone you do a double take. You're driving along with your non-caching friends and you have to bite your tongue when you pass by a cache. You begin to describe directions by stating take a left at the LPC over near the three stage multi. You see an attractive young lady and you think "Hmm I wonder what she'd look like in hiking boots and a camelbak" You actually ask the kids to save those candy tins! --- C'mon ya'all! Watchya got?

+tango501 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 head into Walmart or Target to pick up something you really need and leave with 20 bucks worth of Lock & Locks and some new camo tape, forgetting what you came in for originally Quote Link to comment

+bittsen Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 You know you're a cacher when__________ you can't imagine a guardrail without a cache hidden in/on it. You see highway reflectors and think you could hide a cache there. Quote Link to comment

+brianweeks Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 You might be a geocacher if: 1. You can read ROT-13 encryptions without a decoder. 2. You incorporate ROT-13 into cache titles. 3. You can be heard speaking in ROT-13 to others in your group "Zntargvp, abg va gur vil!" 4. You go on shopping trips to military surplus, hardware stores, arts/crafts stores, auto supply shops, marine suppliers, various "--Marts" and pharmacies to look for micro containers, log ziplocs, trade items, camo, and other cache-related items. 5. You walk through a parking lot and check lampposts for loose skirts. 6. You can point out caches you found as you drive along any freeway within 50 miles of home. 7. Suspense and mystery movies remind you of the last Puzzle/Multi-Cache you did. 8. Your living room contains scattered ammo cans, tupperware, spray paint cans, tie wire, hand tools. 9. You have more magnetic micros stuck to your fridge than any other type of object. 10. You have ever taken off work or ignored family obligations specifically to go caching. 11. You try to train your new puppy to sniff out tupperware. Quote Link to comment

You've seen more than three "you might be a geocacher" threads You've moved a poisonous snake to get the smiley. You've intended to jump out of the car for a second an ended up hiking around a hill for a mile or more for the cache 300 ft away. You've shown up to work covered in mud. You've gone to the store for butter and went to a store two towns over. Your mom shows up every couple weeks with garbage bags full of mayonaise jars, perscription bottles and empty cookie tins. Your friends and relatives get that glazed over look when you tell a geocaching story Your wife would prefer you had an affair instead of geocaching Your wife wakes up to an empty bed at 2 in the morning and doesn't bother calling to check on you. Your budget has a geoccahing sub catagory Quote Link to comment
