I'm really getting tired of hunting for illegally-placed caches. A&W Sparkling Vanilla Cream Soda is really quite tasty, but was SHOCKED to find out it contains caffeine. What the heck does it need caffeine for?? Misti got Brad's favorite album for Christmas [Justin Timberlake - "Justified"].

I really think that it's time for geocaching as a sport to evolve. The growing sentiment in many circles that Geocaching.com is not keeping up with the 'evolution', so to speak, has really got me wondering if Geocaching.com will remain the dominant resource for this fledgling sport, or if a linux-type contender won't surface in the next few years to offer the people a viable alternative. Trying to keep cache owners legal and ethical is like trying to plug a leak in a cracked dam with bubblegum.

Hood "Carb Countdown" chocolate dairy beverage is disgusting. I cannot recommend it, despite its claims to 90% less carbs and 33% more protein than chocolate milk AND the fact that it uses Splenda (which I think is cool).

Caches found:
"Chocolat" (private property - no permission obtained)
"Where's the Salt Shaker?" (private property - permission granted)

Caches not found:
"I-80 Flume Cache" (posted 'no trespassing' sign)

I honestly feel that the future of geocaching lies in the virtual and reverse caches, not in physical or micro caches. As more and more people flout the geocaching.com cache placement guidelines and illegally place physical caches on private property (especially commercial property), and more and more people get caught loitering and trespassing on such land, I think some tough choices will have to be made by the geocaching powers that be.
