There, there, let it all out. You know you have it bad when it comes time for vacation and you base your trip on how many caches you can get on the way…

You can skip your trips to Wal*Mart, K-Mart, etc. if you just pay for your items at someone’s cache. (Overpaying a bit is recommended.)

Hello,
My name is AstroD, and I along with my spouse are also cachaholics.
It started out innocently enough as somebody in our astronomy club donated a yellow E-Trex for club use. We were in charge of holding onto club property at the time and wondered what other uses it had besides marking where you were.
In the beginning it was a fun way to spend a few hours together as a family. Then we went to a WGA event. As we struggled with a tricky hide, we saw another family coming our way. As both teams began searching for the cache together, we struck up a conversation and decided to continue caching together. We had never heard of their team before, The Ecorangers or something like that. They seemed pretty normal but first impressions can be deceiving.
As our addiction began to ramp up, one GPS unit was certainly not enough and so it came to pass that we were the proud new owners of a blue E-Trex Legend.
We soon had all the caches in our area and had to travel further and further away to feed the addiction.
We also hid our first cache and that too was not enough. Soon we were looking all over town for hiding spots. Of course, the typical ammo box was not good enough and we had to come up with unique containers as well. The end product is a little series we call the N.E.W. Solar System Series.
At least it is an inexpensive hobby. Yeah right, a second blue E-Trex, new tires for the cachemobile and lord knows how many dollars spent on trading items. Now we are planning a two week summer trip to cache and sight see. On top of that, new tires are apparently not enough anymore. We are contemplating buying a new more fuel efficient cachmobile.
Where do we go for help?
