 Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 8:21 pm Post subject: Basic Rules for GeoCaching (a la Murphy) |
|
|
Here is the beginning of my list of basic rules for Geocaching.
1. You're always on the wrong side of the river or stream
2. You're always on the wrong side of the fence.
3. It will always take you longer to find than you expect.
4.
5.
I started a similar thread in the GC.com Canada forum in Aug 2003 and we had fun with it for several weeks, so I thought I'd see if anything has changed, and if it is different in the wider GeoCaching community. Enjoy!

My brother and I usually always go caching together, and whenever we FINALLY find that easy hide after an hour of searching (which happens a lot); it is always a case of "I thought you checked there." "Hey! I thought you checked there!"

6. The batteries in your GPS will die 100m from the cache

7. The muggles sitting near ground zero are always settled in for the long haul. |

You always find the easy way in . . . on the way out.

12. (I liked the numbering idea...) The cache a mile from your house will be published when you're miles away.

When you're shirt-and-tie caching between appointments, the newly published cache will be 50' down an embankment, mud the whole way.

I know there's more, but I'm too tired to think of any.
