Geocaching Lingo

[Cachelovskys]

As I read through logs, it always amazes me the different words that people us for the same thing. Here is an interesting link that I found with a bunch of different words and such that people us. http://home.earthlink.net/~prime.suspect/geolex/ I had never heard of the “Drunken Bee Dance” before.

I would like to add one to the list. “Dry Caching” It isn’t caching that you do when you are sober, but when you cache without a GPS. It isn’t copyrighted…yet. So start using it in your geocaching conversation or try it in the field. DRY CACHING.

Does anyone have any terms or weird phrases that you use when out caching? I want to improve my geocaching lingo.

Noooo … DRY CACHING … is something you rarely get to do in Wisconsin:

It’s that collective 2 weeks a year, when –
– it’s not snowing on you
– it’s not raining on you
– when you’ve not sprayed your entire body with DEET

When I am traveling or on a family vacation I like to refer to our exploits as “GEO-CATIONING.”

Here is one: West Bend, for example, is lousy with caches. Meaning that W.B. has a lot of caches, not lousy or bad caches.

AKA “Wandering Around”–a favorite method of various cachers…

Columbus Caching: Going out with nothing but waypoints loaded into your GPSr. You have no idea what you are going to find, as you have no descriptions, logs, hints, container sizes, cache types, etc…

I’ve read many references to “nude geocaching”, but only recently found out that it’s actually the same as “Dry” caching. No GPS.

I do this type of caching often. All I have is a Spreadsheet with the Waypoint name and Cache name. No size, description the occasional hint.

Not entirely wrong, just not quite right…

It has happened to us twice now! On a family power-geocaching vacation, our new palm pilot dies and we have no info on the caches!
Are we hunting a virtual, earth cache, multi, puzzle, regular or off-set cache…size….difficulty, terrain, title of cache? We know nothing so we call this type of geocaching, blind geocaching meaning we know nothing about the cache. Tami
