2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 Check out the benchmark that is part of the Monument to the "Smiley" Family LY2422 is the PID and several cachers have logged it with some great pictures... I just thought this one was rather appropriate since our people are getting "Smileys" for logging it. So, does anyone else know of a humorous mark that they wish to share? I liked it when we started one thread with some of the funny names of the marks...have you found any with interesting names? Shirley~ Quote
+Ernmark Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 JV5615 - didn't find it, but I REALLY wanted to ! Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) I think that my favorite found name is KU2138. I guess I haven't studied enough logic to understand why. Maybe, it's a truth table? Then again, I have also found KV4908. Though there seems to be enough of that itn the world already. Edited September 9, 2006 by Harry Dolphin Quote
+Ernmark Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 ..looked thru my logs & most of the names were pretty ordinary - did make a special effort to pull over along I-95 (not too smart) to grab this one - JV6938 ...as it was named in honor of the mall (White Marsh) that my wife was making me drive to after a visit to Baltimore's Inner Harbor...

+Harry Dolphin Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 We made a half-hearted atempt at KV4051 but it is on land owned by an oil company, and fenced off. With the risk of being risqué, KU0827 appears to have been destroyed to make way for a parking lot. Quote
foxtrot_xray Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) Ya, know. I always thought HJ0362 would be, with a severe nasty storm quickly approaching.. But, I was able to make it through and see the rainbow on the other side. Not to fear, tho.. There's always one more JM0409. (Haven't found it yet, but.. I will eventually! ) Me.

+Klemmer Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) I like this one: AE4371 - "Alien" Don't you wonder what the surveyors were thinking when they name these? Edited September 19, 2006 by Klemmer & TeddyBearMama Quote
Difficult Run Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) I've wondered how this monument got it's name, but I'm sure there's a story behind it. DOG Too bad it's unstamped. LOL! Edited September 19, 2006 by Difficult Run Quote
+Black Dog Trackers Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I saw this funny name today: GIS 184 LIL DAVE SMOUSE. There's a bunch in the area with what look like people's names, like GIS 0578 KEVIN ELEVIN. I wonder who they are. Quote
+Lunatic728 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Most of the "named" PID's are for the property owners where the stations sit. The others are for the area where they are located. Springer Named for Isabelle Springer, the land owner. ROAR This one I have no clue on how they named it? George I have no clue why its named George, its in the middle of nowhere. Edited September 23, 2008 by Lunatic728 Quote
mloser Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I have run across a few named after the landowner, and was pleasantly surprised to have Mr Trump . My favorite local name is OYES, named, I think, in opposite reference to the nearby town of Ono and its (now defunct and gone) O'Yes Restaurant. Perhaps the survey team ate there while they occupied the mark and, since there was already and ONO mark, named this one OYES as a humorous sidebar. Quote
+LSUFan Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I have to wonder what the girl who lived near this one said to the surveyors: VIXEN I bet this guy would have liked to be located near the one above BATCHELOR How bad do you have to be, before they send you below the surface BELCHER UNDERGROUND Sometimes, it sure pays to be this when benchmark hunting LUCKY Quote
+Mega Scooter Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 Here is a couple that I did not find. I wonder if the surveyor will ever know the appropriateness of the name he gave this station. RD1682 I wanted this one bolt so bad that Malnut and I hiked for twelve miles (round trip) to hunt it, only to return joyless. RD1255 Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Well in this GF0859 I could not have found a better one. Since I was there today to recover the Azimuth Mark. We did run across one GF0872 near GF0871. Or you could get your Kicks on Rt. 66 but don't forget GF0842 maybe Flagstaff Arizona,Barstow.... Or maybe someday I will get a GF0840. With over 1000+ I could make up just about any story. Quote
+Okiebryan Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Best one ever... I have a photo of this one. PY1148 Quote
