+tigeone Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Ok I am realativly new to Geocaching,I have planted 2 micros and yes one is in a lamp post.I have been reading about the Urban caching and the issues with private property and so on,I think that micro urban caches are a good way for new commers to get into the sport but I agree that they LOCATION should be in such a place that one does not have to be super stealthy to acheive a find,this is meant to be fun.Sometimes I feel like I am doing something wrong if I have to sneak around a lot.As I am reading these types of posts I come across all of these abreviations,such as LPC,FTF,and so on.I figured out FTF (first to find)But what is an LPC?I have come across others but dont remember exactly what they are,Is there somewhere that lists all of these abreviations?Any inf owould be appreciated.Thanks Quote Link to comment
+gh patriot Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 lamp post cache. The cover at the base of a lamp post usually in a parking lot. Lift it up and theres the cache underneath or stuck in a magnetic holder to the underside of the bolt cover. Quote Link to comment

Lift it up and theres the cache underneath or stuck in a magnetic holder to the underside of the bolt cover. So you're saying that people put caches inside the wire junction area? This probably isn't a good idea. Somebody could get seriously injured if there is a nic in the wire. Quote Link to comment

+gh patriot Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I have never had a problem or heard of a problem having to do with wiring , the main problem is being descrete. Quote Link to comment
+BOOKHUNTER Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 When I was in the USMC, LPC stood for leather personnel carrier... Quote Link to comment
crawil Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Take a look here to see what many of the acronyms mean. Quote Link to comment

El Diablo LPC? I thought it was "looks pretty cool." Could also be a team nickname abbreviation. I've never seen LPC used for lamp post cache....... but then, I avoid 'em. Quote Link to comment

+Thrak Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 FWIT IMHO LPC suck... If you are going to try to type in 1337 then you need to change that to: "FWIT IMHO LPC are teh suq" The misspelling is important if you truly want to establish your superior e-peen. Quote Link to comment
+GRANPA ALEX Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 LPC - Light Personnel Carrier, found at American Legion Posts or National Guard Armories in lots of towns . . . really! Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 FWIT IMHO LPC suck... LPC => Late Payment Charge. To avoid them in the future, I suggest you pay on time. Quote Link to comment

peachs Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Does anyone know if there are any of these LPCs in New Zealand or Australia, or is this a US thing. Quote Link to comment
