A bit over 7 years on this one... not bad for a joke cache! I've moved to the other side of town and this one keeps on running away so time to open this area up to new players.

Shame on you all! :D

Geocache Description:

-= Zalgariath's Poison Cache =-

The Rules of this Cache are simple. You are NOT allowed to Find it. Well, you can, but if you do, you shall be publically Named and Shamed! You see, this cache represents all I DISLIKE about a cache. It is USELESS in every way.


It is an Evil Mint Tin!
The Hide is Not CLEVER!
There is No Tricky PUZZLE!
The Park is Unremarkable!
The Challenge is Non-Existent!
It is Hidden Next to (but NOT on) Play Equipment!
It is Magnetic and Exactly where you think it is!

So. What is the point? Why am I wasting your time? Why am I going against everything I LOVE about Geocaching? Because I'm Nasty! :)

While in WA recently I stumbledacross GC1TB52 by rmj1 and have shamelessly stolen the idea he stole from GC1RX97. The point is this; I personally would HATE this cache… just sitting there, a little icon on my screen, taunting me every time I logged on screaming "Fiiiiiiiiinnnnnd Meeeeeeee!" So here is the CHALLENGE!

Can you resist this pointless micro? Does it annoy you it's still there unfound every time you log onto your map? It's oh so easy to find, but far more difficult to resist. There are many DO NOT FIND THIS CACHE caches around the world. Here is Sydney’s First (I Believe?!) Resist your Obsession!

Optional Extras (AKA Geocachers Anonymous)

Take some time to discover your real relationship with Geocaching. Who is in control? You, or the GPSr? Keep Score as you go through these questions. Include your result in your log… you know, the DNF one, because you rightly refuse to actually waste your precious time on this nothing cache ;) (You should end up with a score out of 100!)
