Witty quotes, sayings, mottos about geocaching?

[Rubbertoe]

I've read a couple good ones, but of course I don't remember how they went - or where I found them.

 

Basically, I'm looking for a quote to add to my profile page. I've adopted the idea of caching without impacting the environment at all.

 

I can't remember what the little saying was, though... something about going in, finding the cache, and leaving everything as it was.

 

If you have any little mottos or sayings or quotes or mantras or whatever, please post them in this thread. I need something clever in my profile.

You could use,"Leave no evidence behind, and don't take anything else, we're just here for the cache."

If you are talking via communicatior to Captain Picard, remember this, for it is the single most important thing you can learn... Never give him a straight answer, make sure he has to come on down to the planet and see for himself.

[Rubbertoe]

Well, I couldn't pick just one... so at the bottom of each cache page I have, I've included this:

 

TREAD LIGHTLY

BE A STEALTH GEOCACHER

LEAVE NO EVIDENCE OF YOUR SEARCH

 

I know, not clever, not witty - but it took that many words to sum up what I wanted to say. If I had anything to say about it, people wouldn't even leave footprints.

 

Not necessarily because I consider it damage to the environment - but more for the fact that a beaten path to a spot in the woods will eventually draw unwanted attention.

 

Thanks all for your replies.

Leave nothing but footsteps, take nothing but dirt, kill nothing but toenails...err, I mean, time.

After archiving a temporary cache I did, I closed the final note with the following...

 

"Took everything, left no trace."

What about 'Rubber toe, chasing plastic since ...(when you started caching).

[+brslk]

This has to be one of the oldest thread necros!

Yeah, they probably didn't wait around eight years for your response, eh?

You can use my geocaching motto if you like it:

Wow old thread is OLD.

 

I like one I saw on a t-shirt once: I use billion dollar satellites to find tupperware in the woods. What's your hobby?

My favorite quote about being lost is:

 

I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks.

Daniel Boone

 

I remembered it as "turned around" instead of "confused". While looking for the exact wording of that quote, I found:

 

One day I undertook a tour through the country, and the diversity and beauties of nature I met with in this charming season, expelled every gloomy and vexatious thought.

My favorite quote about being lost is:

Daniel Boone

 

I remembered it as "turned around" instead of "confused".

 

I heard it as "a mite bewildered." And it was for "a few days" rather than several weeks. (Various "quotes" on the web have it as three days, five days, or a few days.)

Considering my track record this year:

 

Give Blood - Geocache!

 

I tend to be a bit rough and ready (not always too bright) and come home with a cut or scrape, from time to time. Had a really nice gouge on my right leg on the 7th, but behaving myself and staying out of the ICU lately.

I have one similar to that.

In Boy Scouts, we used to have a little poem..

 

"Never let it be said,

And said to your shame,

That all was well

Until you came"

[+Boxcars]

how about this: "I'm not very clever, had to go to a website to come up with something to say."

[+lachupa]

how about beer before liquor never sicker

beer before liquor in the clear?

 

I've heard that isn't true anyway

 

leaves of three, leave it be?

 

you must find your own path grasshopper

 

by that I mean lots of things get said by lots of people, up to you to find one that means something to you

For a brief second, I thought that Rubbertoe had returned.

 

Oh, well.

I'm not sure where I got this quote from (Voltaire??), but it fits caching:

we may not find anything pleasant,

but we will find something new.”
