I've come across the abbreviation "LP" on several caches, usually in the clues. I can't find what this means in any of the FAQs or info pages I've read. I know it has to be something very simple but just can't figure it out.

The only thing I could come up with is Light Pole. Could this be right?

 

Whazzit mean?...Please.

Light Pole is a reasonable guess. Hard to tell without seeing it in context, though.

Yep, light pole or lamp pole cache. Most often found in a parking lot. The cache is usually hidden under the lamp post skirt. (lift the skirt up to find the cache) Caches of this type are called "LP Caches".

OK while we are on the topic of abbreviations. I had one in Mexico where the hint read "170 ft ASL". it ws on the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. What does ASL mean. Hopefully it does not mean JUMP.

Could be Atmospheric Surface Layer (ASL). More can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_layer

 

I would imagine that it would be 170 Ft. above the water....although you found it in Mexico, so it could mean something in Spanish.

Since it was on a cliff overlooking the ocean, I would go with the obvious "Above Sea Level." How high was the cliff?

I think above sea level covers it because I would be for sure dead if I jumped

 

Thanks,

Age/Sex/Location....not wait this isn't a dating site....I'm guessing Above Sea Level.

You mean, like a Leaning Jowler?

OK, I figured out TNLNSL, but what about this "TFTH"?

Sometimes it means a tree that has partly fallen and is leaning against another tree.
