Acronyms

While I was trolling around the Geocaching web site, I found a bunch of words that made absolutely no sense to me. So I did my research they are common acronyms that cachers use pretty frequently. Here is a list most common acronyms and what they mean-

• BYOP- Bring your own pencil. The caches are usually too small to hold a pencil
• CITO- Cache in, Trash out. This is a good way to practice Geo-Caching. It means to go in to find a cache and bring out trash you’ve found along the way. It helps to keep our world clean!
• DNF- Did not find
• FTF- First to find. This is written by the lucky person who finds the Cache first.
  
• TFTC- Thanks for the cache.
  
• TFTH- Thanks for the hide.
• TNLN- Took nothing, left nothing
• TNLNSL/TNSL- Took nothing, Left nothing, Signed Logbook
• Muggle- Non-geocacher
• Signature Items- Special items unique to a person

This should help you understand the cachers that have been at it for a while. I know that when I first started, I had no idea what most people where talking about. Don’t forget to get out there and get searching!!!
