Here are eleven, not ten, quick steps how to find only one cache in seven hours. It is the art of distraction and lack of thought syndrome. Believe us we tried it yesterday and suceeded with flying colors:


1. Paint a container to hide at 45 degrees outside (still tacky the next day even top coated).


2. Remember that you threw out the answers to a puzzle cache you were going to visit two weeks before after carrying them around for six months.


3. Spend an hour re-solving the puzzle via the internet.


4. Drive off and forget the baby wrap to hike with the baby and return home.


5. Get to a hiding sight (notice I did not say finding as we are already sidetracked hiding) and discover no camera run back to the house again do not pass Go do not collect $200.


6. Open front door of house just to realize the camera is in the new caching vest that you can’t find anything in. Go back to hide sight do not pass Go do not collect $200.


7. Stop to buy newspaper and laugh at embellishments of our geocaching evangelism.


8. Hey find a cache. THERE IS ONE!!


9. Hide another hide but engineer the hide so as to take time away from another find.


10. Go for the second find only to find an empty container strewn in two places. If you are keeping score that is still only ONE FIND.


11. Lastly throw hip out sitting in car contemplating another cache find.

Final score ONE FIND – Time out: Seven Hours.



You too can attempt this amazing feat of forgetfulness, idle thoughts, and incredible stroking of the bad luck idle of geocaching. You must leave your brain on the pillow. If you have a partner to cache with make sure they do the same exact thing. Also rush about and walk around in circles and think about everything at once.



Do not attempt this if you have have not cached for a a few weeks as it is not advisable for your geocaching health or those around you!
