+dorqie Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Another thread got me curious... What were some acronyms that people left in their logs that had you stumped? I couldn't figure out "PAF" when someone logged that on one of my caches. Quote Link to comment

+dorqie Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 You need to bookmark geolex the point of this thread wasn't to ask for help figuring out the acronyms, it was to talk about ones that we just couldn't make sense of at the time, but thank you. Quote Link to comment
+Don_J Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We have plenty of SRPs, Suspicious Rock Piles, in Lower California. A few years back, I was traveling through Utah and I came upon several cache page that referenced, ORP. For the life of me I couldn't figure it out. I had to write one of the COs after I got home to get the answer. Odd Rock Pile. Quote Link to comment
