+gpsjeeper Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Sorry but without the search feature I'm forced to ask a stupid question. Is there any thread that decodes the different "styles" of the camo? I.e. FL style being hidden under a palmetto bush. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Since no one can agree what these actually mean, they're pretty much meaningless. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Different areas do have different and distinct hide styles. You can't post "This cache is hidden in the Georgia Style" and have it mean anything consistant but as you travel you will see different methods used. In Utah for example I can actually walk up to ground zero and see the cachein a lot of cases. In Idaho it is virtually never in sight. URPs are common in Idaho. Quote Link to comment
+blindleader Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Is there any thread that decodes the different "styles" of the camo?This might be the thread. In the pacific NW. the classic hide is so common and obvious in the woods that nobody ever even refers to it explicitly, just saying "the usual place" or "classsic NW hide". I suspect that in Urban California, it involves lamp posts in Wal Mart parking lots. Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 An ammo can here might be referenced as "hidden in the usual way." That means under an artificial pile of rocks. Quote Link to comment
+gpsjeeper Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah, many of the local ones here will be "typical FL cache" then some will say "hidden in the style of the state to our north" Or "hidden NC style" Are there really any North Carolina topo characteristics in Florida?

Don't worry, you're not the only one. I was down there recently and kept having that problem. Quote Link to comment

Same deal in suburban New York City, except that we're probably the only major part of the U.S. that mostly lacks Wal-Mart Maybe it would be in a Target lot, they seem to be proliferating around here recently.

Don't worry, you're not the only one. I was down there recently and kept having that problem. If you have cached in Florida you should recognize them. They are often called SAW Palmettos for good reason. I always come back to Nebraska with assorted geowounds from grubbing around in them. Nebraska's terraine is so varied that we have a multitude of styles. Well, OK no palmettos and palm frond covers. Quote Link to comment
