A preplaned day of caching starting at sun up, and ending at sun down. There has been four of these in the northwest, Bremerton, Wa, Yakima, Wa, Victoria, BC, Spokane, Wa. Some people have have 80+ caches in one day doing these. SeeSpokane Cache Machine

 

Lets have fun out there, we are.

As best as I can tell, the term was coined on June 26, 2002 by DutchBoy, describing BruceS, who had 28 finds in 24 hours, and 86 finds in five days.

 

Since then, I've used the term to describe events where geocachers meet to find a large number of caches, optimally knocking them off their lists like a well-oiled machine.

 

I wouldn't restrict the meaning to a ''sun up to sun down'' event, because I could see a cache machine being a well-planned two hour event (for example, the Beaverton Cache Machine coming up on Sunday). It could also be a two-day event (like I'm thinking the Portland Cache Machine may end up being, next year).

 

Basically, a cache machine is an individual or a group who is able to get a lot of caches in a short amount of time. For example, ''I found 13 caches today. I'm a mean, lean, cache machine.''

BTW, when I called the Mt Persis a cache machine, I was just being funny. I'm still chuckling, which my coworkers are finding somewhat disconcerting.

All I can say is - HAW - wimps.

 

Is that the best you can do?

 

I think I can top those numbers with just Red and I out and about.

I referred to logscaler as a "cache machine" once, but it isn't the only description that describes what he is.

 

Having had the opportunity to observe logscaler and Red hunt a cache (from a safe distance), I feel uniquely qualified to comment on what logscaler's might be called.

 

Here is what logscaler Is and is Not:

 

Is - a cache machine

Is - a cache dog (dawg for us Southerners)

Not - a cache wimp

Is - a cache alligator

Is - a cache jet

Is - a cache rocket

Not - a cache slug

Is - a caching tornado

Is - cache savvy

Not - cache indifferent

Not - easily deterred

Is - intolerant (of unfound caches)

Is - a cache reactor

Is - cache lightning

Is - in tune with the natural vibratory frequency of the polymers used in the manufacture of Tupperware

Not - allergic to hard work

Is - allergic to hard work that doesn't allow him to geocache going "to and from". He says he has never hunted a cache while actually AT work.

Is - a great guy and a credit to the geocaching community.

both logscaler and I started geocaching in May of 2001.

 

I have 153 finds.

 

He has 947 finds.

 

My oh my... Gee Whiz... WOW!

Thanks Sluggo but I think you killed the thread!

I thought sluggo had used googlism on logscaler but it doesn't look like it because this is what I came up with when I tried it:

 

Googlism for: logscaler

 

logscaler is a must for accurate log

logscaler is the fastest and most efficient method to scale loads of logs

logscaler is able to find caches without getting out of his truck
