+Jadestep Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) While caching out of state recently, I ran across a description that said the cache was hidden "Florida Style" (I was not in Florida!) Fellow cachers I have asked have not heard the term before. Can someone explain what a "Florida Style" hide is? Edited May 21, 2010 by Jadestep Quote
+swfirefly Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 It's more fun if you figure it out for yourself. I'll say this, it has something to do with a type of tree you'll fine in Florida. Quote
+swfirefly Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 I've also found a cache here in Florida described as hidden "Georgia style." I'm wondering if that term is used a lot up in Georgia. Quote

+Too Tall John Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 If you want to spoil the fun, a forum search may be useful. Quote

the_wanderer09 Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Jersey Style = buried with famous union leader at undisclosed sports complex. Quote

Fellow cachers I have asked have not heard the term before. Can someone explain what a "Florida Style" hide is? Much different than Arizona Style Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Jersey Style = buried with famous union leader at undisclosed sports complex. Sorry. We don't bury geocaches in Jersey. Union leaders is a different story... Quote
+nekom Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Probably in palmettos. PA style - Ammo can in a tree stump WV style - The terrain rating is for getting to the parking area Quote
Trader Rick & Rosie Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 For hunting Florida Style hides, you need sandals or flip flops, cargo shorts, Tropical silk shirt and str aw hat or Gators Ball cap...and suntan lotion and DEET. Quote
+thedeadpirate Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I was gonna say there were 2 styles that qualify. The palmettos are the ones I hate. Fortunately, the Tallahassee area doesn't tend to have many of those hides. Quote
+NYPaddleCacher Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Probably in palmettos. PA style - Ammo can in a tree stump WV style - The terrain rating is for getting to the parking area I have seen two different definitions of NC style depending on which part of the state you are in. Quote
+Chrysalides Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 And here I was thinking it's disguised as a glass of orange juice... D.C. Style - buried beneath a mountain of debt? Quote

PA style - Ammo can in a tree stump WV style - The terrain rating is for getting to the parking area I have seen two different definitions of NC style depending on which part of the state you are in. Well, it's a wide state. We have mountains at one end and beaches galore at the other. And a lot of red clay and pine trees in between. Quote
oakenwood Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Maryland style: the cache container is an empty jar of Old Bay seasoning. Quote
Skippermark Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 And here I was thinking it's disguised as a glass of orange juice... D.C. Style - buried beneath a mountain of debt? LOL. Now that's funny. Quote
+tzipora Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 While we're at it, I'm going to declare that Alaska Style is disguised as a salmon (before someone else decides that it has something to do with a snow pile). Quote
knowschad Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< There you go again. How many times do we need to tell you that its not all about you! Or... is it??? Quote

We dont even bother naming mountains in Arizona that are only 6684 feet in altitude (Mt. Michell highest point in NC). But I guess, technically, it is a mountain. Quote
+Mickey and Goofy Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 What is Florida Style? Simple Use a stick. Quote
+ipodguy Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Jersey Style = buried with famous union leader at undisclosed sports complex. Sorry. We don't bury geocaches in Jersey. Union leaders is a different story... Piney Style - Under a bunch of leaves and pine needles/pine cones. Quote
+GeoGeeBee Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 I have seen two different definitions of NC style depending on which part of the state you are in. Are we still talking about geocaches, or has the subject changed to Barbecue? Quote

Eh, wait another 400 million years or so, yours will erode down a bit too. Did someone mention BBQ? Quote

+Fiver1 Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) "Florida Style" means the cache was placed by some dadgum Yankee. Edited May 31, 2010 by Fiver1 Quote
+Oldhippy & Granny Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 California Style - Hidden in Oregon? California style is more likely real Micky Mouse Quote
