+Ry Dawg Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Always been a fan of typing out words to avoid confusion. I can decipher most terms on logs, but I’m racking my brain on this one. BCE? A new cache of mine, the second finder. Name and photo removed for finder privacy. Any ideas?

Your encrypted hint for your cache is the letters BCE. Edited February 26, 2020 by kunarion 1 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) I probably would have written a similar comment. The hint BCE totally escapes me. Edited February 26, 2020 by Max and 99 Quote Link to comment

+Ry Dawg Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Thanks. I did not consider encryption when pondering. all I could come up with were Best Cache Ever, which definitely doesn’t apply or Bad Caching Experience, which didn’t really work with the rest of the comment.

The comment is fine, it actually made me laugh now that I know what it is. I just didn’t think to look at the encryption, as it’s automatic when making a hint. OPR is used a lot out here. “Obvious pile of rubble”. Usually, it is unnaturally stacked rocks. Edited February 26, 2020 by Ry Dawg Quote Link to comment

Outside the geocaching context, I would assume that E08 is a reference to episode 8 of a series. Sometimes it's combined with the season, as in S03E08. Quote Link to comment

+CheekyBrit Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I tried checking out GCBCE and I got nothing. A regular size traditional called 'water walker' on an island in Maine accessible at low tide. Red herring. I don't think BCE is a GC code reference.
