+capn_blacktoe Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I see on logs "On-on! No blow." What does it mean? I tried searching the forum but it wouldn't let me search for those words. Quote Link to comment
+GeoTrekker26 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I see on logs "On-on! No blow." What does it mean? I tried searching the forum but it wouldn't let me search for those words. It's not a universal term so it's hard to tell without some context. It could have something to do with the theme of the cache, the finder's or the CO's name or something else entirely. Post the GC number of a where you read this. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Also, you might want to edit a few of your logs on The Old Swimming Hole, you've logged it 8 times! (Not surprising with the servers problems recently! ) Edited August 11, 2013 by Bear and Ragged Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Here's one page with logs as the OP says. The logs here seem to be referring to the Cache Owner "NoBlowH3" who uses "On-On!" in the cache description, so I'm guessing "On-On!" is a regional term (of enthusiasm?) or in-joke. You could ask the Cache Owner who might know what it means. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=78d45f78-ac59-46d6-aca2-6540832e342e Edited August 11, 2013 by kunarion Quote Link to comment

+Touchstone Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'm kind of partial to the Hash House Harriers origin of the phrase: The end of a trail is an opportunity to socialise, have a drink and observe any traditions of the individual chapter. When the hash officially ends, many members may continue socialising at an "on-after", "on-down", "on-on-on", "apres", or "hash bash", an event held at a nearby house, pub, or restaurant. The HHH, having it's beginnings in the 1930's, is described as, ""a drinking club with a running problem,". Quote Link to comment
+JL_HSTRE Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Some cachers seem to use a short catchphrase for their online logs. A local cacher signs nearly all of their online logs with only the words "IN-N-OUT". Quote Link to comment
+capn_blacktoe Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Thanks everybody for pointing out all the duplicate logs. Quote Link to comment

Clan Riffster Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 NoBlowH3 is a local cacher who uses "On-On" as his catch phrase. Quote Link to comment
+giddeanx Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Another definition from the hashers. "On On!" is said when you are following marks, so that others in the vicinity know you are on trail and can make their way to trail as well. Don't say "On On" if you are not following hash marks.
