+parkrrrr Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Okay, time for a really important discussion. What do you call a group of cachers? We have a pride of lions, a murder of crows, a flock or a gaggle of geese, a herd of cattle, a swarm of bees, and a(n) _______________ of geocachers. Let's hear some suggestions! For inspiration, see here. Quote Link to comment

+ScottJ Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I have always preferred the term "party", as in "search party". However, if you want to get CREATIVE about it ... we could give a nod to the satellites that make the sport possible, by saying, "a constellation of geocachers". -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ) Quote Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 It's situational dependant. If they are bending over digging in the leaves for a micro while their plumbers butt is in plain view. Dorks. If they are babes, well, babes works for me. If they beat me to a FTF they are clearly rat bastards. If they moved it before I got there so the clue is worthless, Morons. If they found it but I was skunked, Brainiacs. If they are mocking me because I’m the last person in the group to find the cache, Jerks If I find the cache first, Idiots. If they are whining about the stuff in the cache, Skin Flints. If they are wondering why the GPS says zero but they are not standing on the cache, Newbies. If they have beer and offer to share one, Geniuses. If they bust me while I’m bent over digging in the leaves…nevermind. Quote Link to comment

Moun10Bike Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I kind of like a sleuth of geocachers. Of course, given recent behavior in the forums, perhaps a "jerk of geocachers" is more appropriate. That has nice alliteration, too. Quote Link to comment

+TeamJiffy Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I like "event of cachers" as well. But that is a little too "in-humor" (I.e., you have to know about event caches, etc.) Perhaps something more germane to the task of caching: You can describe the group by size: "A micro of cachers" vs. "A regular of cachers" vs. "A large of cachers" or you could describe it in this way: Use minutes/sub-minutes/degrees to describe the group.... as in: 6 cachers equal ".1 minutes of cachers" 60 cachers equal "a minute of cachers" 3600 cachers equal "a degree of cachers" or you could use aspects of the GPS... A "waypoint of cachers" or stuff like that... -Jif Quote Link to comment
