Yes, I suppose it sounds like something for which you should see a
physician! :)

I hid a microcache in the area and wrote the geocoordinates ONLY in
the letterbox's log book. I did NOT publish the geocache to the
geocaching.com site.

I did this to make seeking the letterbox (and the parasitic geocache)
a little more rewarding and mysterious for traditional geocachers or
letterboxers with GPS receiver.

To increase geocaching interest in the letterbox, I may publish
coordinates for a virtal geocache of this particular letterbox's
starting point, with the hiders permission, of course. This would let
geocachers know the letterbox is out there without actually giving
away the location of the letterbox.

Regards...

Scott
