Funny! For a minute I was worried as we just received this log on one of our caches that is in a hollow tree trunk:

| As much fun as it would've been to go diving into that hole head over heels, I'm glad you gave us the retrieval device. |
Do you think geocaching qualifies as a mental illness? |

| I'm glad he didn't mention geocaching (if that was the case) but if he doesn't have a better explanation...off to the loony. |

Geocachers:
compulsively hide things from friends
often get little or no sleep while feeding their compulsions
have frequent run-ins with the police
are obsessed with dead trees, street signs and lamp-posts
drive erratically (sudden stops, slow crawls, distracted by electronic devices)
use Magellan products
spend hours with friends examining telephone poles, bleachers, piles of tree debris, etc.
compulsively buy ammo cans
eat enough peanut butter in a year to fill a South-American soccer stadium
Survey says: yes! |

Oh No! Too bad he couldn't PAF. Wasn't it Paklid who got carried out of the woods by geofriends after a caching injury in Anderson Lake Park? So much less embarrassing than first responders.  |

It took me an extended period of time to extract my self from a tree after seeking a jREST cache once. I learned that a big hollow tree with the cache just out of reach can spell big trouble if you're all alone.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that got stuck on that one.

I think I saw this exact thing in the movie Wizard of Oz
I am willing to bet he was out walking and minding his business and the tree came alive and ate him!
Happens to me all the time |

He didn't have to mention geocaching.

I found the cache, but could not sign the log because it was: (circle one)
