Rubbertoe Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 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. --== http://www.bigfoot.com/~rbatina ==-- Quote Link to comment

crazyarcher Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 You could use,"Leave no evidence behind, and don't take anything else, we're just here for the cache." Maybe, I don't know, Blah, I'm going to bed,CrazyArcher Quote Link to comment

Rubbertoe Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 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. --==< http://home.columbus.rr.com/rubbertoe >==-- Quote Link to comment

+fishgeek Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 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.

Period" "Every Time You Hide A Film Canister, A Fairy Dies" "Every Time You Hide A Film Can, God Kills A Kitten" "Geocaching: This is what happens when nerds play outdoors" "DNF happens" "Geocaching: Pissing you off one film canister at a time" "If you must hide a film canister, hide it in an ammo can" "Film canisters: The velvet Elvis of geocaching" "If hiding a film canister in a lamp post is your idea of geocaching, please take up knitting" "Combat Micro-Spew...

+GeoGeeBee Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 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". 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.) Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment
