+Globetrotter.uk Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I have just replied to a question from some newbies,on how to spot a cacher in the pub at a meet, and couldn't resist the oppotunity for a spot of humour. So here's the start of 50 ways to spot a cacher. 1/ Look for a guy using a gps to locate his wallet. Quote Link to comment

+-Phoenix- Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 29) If the Duke Box/cigarette machine/condom dispenser isnt working, check to see if its plugged if, if not and the socket is occupied, trace the wire, add if it terminates into the pocket of some guy trying hard to look innocent then chances are hes a geocacher buming a free charge for his GPSr Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 30) His cell phone rings and he answers his GPS by mistake… 31) You see him sitting with his mistress and you overhear him talking on the cell phone “I’m at the pub, with my mistress” to which his wife says “Your out geocaching again aren’t you!” 32) He the one having his hydration pack filled with beer. 33) His suit is immaculate and his shoes are muddy. 34) He swaps an empty pint for a full one and calls it a fair trade.
