Redux

[+TxVic]

I have searched forums and Google, but I can't find out what "redux ' in a cache title means, as in "Hebron Parkway Powertrail #01 - Redux". I have met a few cachers, but I keep forgetting to ask them. Can anyone shed some light? TIA

I would guess an existing cache has been archived and reactivated or moved to a new location.

try asking the Cache Owner?

The word redux itself means brought back.

I have seen it used as part of the cache title where a cache was archived, and someone, either the cache owner or someone else, replaced it. Usually attempting to recreate the feel of the origional.

That would be my answer as well especially since Merriam-Webster online dictionary states: "Definition of REDUX: brought back —used postpositively Origin of REDUX Latin, returning, from reducere to lead back

First Known Use: 1860"

I have searched forums and Google...

When I Googled "redux", the 3rd result says:

Redux is an adjective, meaning "brought back" or "resurgent".

Thanks for all the replies. I searched on Google in connection with geocaching, not just for redux itself. I didn't think it was a word, thought it was another acronym.

 

I could have emailed the CO, but I have seen it used in quite a few names. Besides, I thought that these forums were for new people to ask questions and just maybe someone else was wondering as well. I know that I have learned much from reading through them and appreciate the time that seasoned cachers spend to help out the new people. Someday, I will too.

Don't take it personal if someone tells you to e-mail the CO. There are some things we shouldn't answer here, but for most questions the forums are a good place to go. Someone else may very well be wondering as well.

and... it is very "un-kosher" to help somebody solve puzzles in the forums. True, it does not seem that you were trying to work out a puzzle, but quite often folks are directed back to the CO if they question something about a cache -- rightfully so.

 

Your question was not wrong, nor were any of the responses given (as it seems to me).

 

I believe in the U.S., redux is often used in indicate something "redone", a variance of "brought back".
