That's what I was going to say, but I would not have inappropriately capitalized the C in the middle.

Especially after my yesterday experiences. What a ball it was. Hornets, ants (and the swim to get rid of them), uncoordinated coordinates (don't ask), meeting and making a bunch of new geocaching friends.

 

What more is there, outside of the looney-bin?

ULTRA-TASTIC !!!!

Does anyone know where the term muggles derived from? Harry Potter?

I've always known muggles to be a Louis Armstrong song - in reference to cannabis.

If non geocachers are muggles, what are we?

Addicts.

To caching of course.

 

I wonder how long until a Geocachers Anonymous is established.

[knowschad]

GeoCachers!

That's what I was going to say, but I would not have inappropriately capitalized the C in the middle.

 

Amen to that. Also, not Geo's or GCr's or Geo-cachers. Cachers is actually what I prefer, but if you must add the "geo" part, do it as one word. Geocachers. And that's what we are.

 

Now, if the question was, what are we to muggles, that would be a whole different answer.

I would guess they would call us drunken BEEs.

Alot of geocachers love to be anonymous.

I Am are a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu, and dismissed just as quickly. I don't exist. I was never even born. Anonymity is my name, silence is my native tongue. I am no longer part of the system. I am above the system, over it, beyond it. We're "them." We're "they." i am a Geocacher!!

I'm Pete.

 

Pete

[+Castle Mischief]

I'm the mid-thirties male in the bushes with the tan and a dark beard with an unknown electronic device taking notes and holding a suspicious package that will later be identified as a game-piece in an on-line hunt for buried treasure.

[+Jeep4two]

Also - depending on your locality and standards in use Geocachers can be known as the following over the police radio waves:

 

10-60 (Suspicious Person)

10-14 (Suspicious Person)

10-64 (Mental Patient)

10-85 (Stroke Patient) Usually after a DNF

10-63 (Asthma Attack) after a 5 terrain

 

And - if you are looking really suspicous while hunting that playground cache, you might even be:

 

10-29 (Check for wanted)

or heaven forbid go Signal 41 (to Jail)

[+Jeep4two]

Forgot to mention -

 

while attending caching events we are 10-15 (Convoy or Escort)

[+Castle Mischief]

 

10-60 (Suspicious Person)

10-14 (Suspicious Person)

 

What's the difference in these two?

[+gvantass]

Does anyone know where the term muggles derived from? Harry Potter?

I've always known muggles to be a Louis Armstrong song - in reference to cannabis.

 

Popularized by Rowling's Harry Potter series, but the term appears to have originated in the 1920's meaning either a marijuana cigarette or a person who "has no skills".

There is no such thing as "muggles". Everyone is a cacher, but some just don't realize it because they haven't found what they are looking for.

Any one know?

 

To muggles we are weirdoes, over there in the bushes, along a bike trail, near a college, just after dark, disheveled, muttering vague phrases (clues and hints from the cache page and logs). We look up, there is eye contact with a young co-ed walking by. Amazing that she doesn't raise a hue-and-cry and draw a large crowd.

 

That's who some of us are to muggles.

There is no such thing as "muggles". Everyone is a cacher, but some just don't realize it because they haven't found what they are looking for.

And you can tell that they already have geocaching blood running through their veins, although unknowingly, because when you ask them if they ever heard of geocaching, they reply exactly as they are supposed to according to geocaching rules and say:

...

Geo-What?

Oh man, there goes another fine tradition down the drain. Now when someone is along for their first geocache experience and a cache is found... just what the heck are we going to exclaim that takes the place of "now you are no longer a muggle?"

[+KJcachers]

WHAT I AM

 

I am a Geocacher, for life.

I will always be a Geocacher.

It’s not something I do, it is who I am.

Geocaching is not an escape.

It is where I belong, where I am supposed to be.

It is not a place, but a lifelong journey.

It is a passage my father showed me, and that I will show others.

When you understand all of this, you will know me, and we will cache together.

 

 

took some liberties with a Fisherman poem.

[+DareGuy]

Had to add my two cents worth...I use the term "Geo-Skulkers".
