Clown Knife Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I was reading the details of a cache I will hunt this afternoon and there was mention of "geomuggles" finding or not finding the cache. What da heck is a geomuggle? Is is someone that stumbles upon a geocache and either vandalizes it or removes it? I'm still a newbie (seven caches found) and would like to kown all the lingo. Thanks fellow geocaches! Quote Link to comment
+Kouros Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I've not come across the term before, but my guess would be that it is a reference to Harry Potter. In Harry Potter, muggles are non-wizarding folk. In Geocaching, geomuggles might be non-geocaching folk. ------ O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.

+Markwell Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Absolutely correct.

He is new to my company and hadn't been introduced to my GPS obsession yet.” I didn't know I used it that much. I do use “Neocacher” a lot... Coining a new term... - the whole thread.

"Markwell" could be a noun, though, referring to the link: Perhaps this should be discussed here <- a Markwell. Also an adjective, as in "This is now a markwelled thread."

My boss has kids in college and married and he is a BIG Harry Potter fan. My wife and I are both fans of the HP books (and movies so far), and we don't even have kids. Of course, we do have more kids books in the house than regular ones (my wifes a teacher). We saw the first movie on opening day, and will see #2 the first weekend out.
