Lary Fusco Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 This is driving me crazy. Been a long time since the nuns tried to hammer all this stuff into my noggin. The translation has to do with being lost, i believe. Any scholars out there?;_) Quote Link to comment
+WaylandersMA Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 My guess: It's not always a bummer to be lost. Quote Link to comment

+rdw Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 I believe it is the Latin translation of "Not all those who wander are lost." rdw Quote Link to comment

+Rusty & Libby Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Markwell has an article on the Wisconsin Geocacher's website and the first part explains the term. I was just browsing links from another thread before this one and read it. They have a nice website there. Wisconsin Geocacher's Site - Feature Article Rusty... Quote Link to comment

+Markwell Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Yep - "Not all those who wander are lost" in Latin. I do NOT claim to be a Latin expert. I got the translation from someone in a Latin forum somewhere on the web. I'm also not sure I like the connotation of "perditi" as well. That leans toward being a lost soul - going to "perdition" instead of heaven. I'd rather have the connotation of "not knowing where you are." Anyway, I decided to stay with it just for the fun of it. Please - don't over analyze this. It's just for fun! Markwell Non omnes vagi perditi sunt Quote Link to comment
