Globemaster1 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I read this in a log "used geopile to find it". The cache is hidden inside a tree. Just exactly what is a 'geopile' Quote Link to comment
+jeffbouldin Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Don't know for a fact but my guess would be that unnatural pile of sticks and leaves covering the cache up. Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) I read this in a log "used geopile to find it". The cache is hidden inside a tree. Just exactly what is a 'geopile' A few days ago there was this posting: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...&hl=geopile Answers it and more! Judging from your finding the term, I am guessing that you are in MN. Edit: Guess not, after looking. A few said they were going to "adopt" the term.

Ok, thanks, now I know the rest of the story...and added two new geo-caching terms to my vocabulary Quote Link to comment
+HouseOfDragons Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've seen it referred to as stickoflage here. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 If we are out caching in a large group, and someone bends over to pick up the cache, sometimes we will all jump on top of them like a rugby scrum and say Pile on the Rabbit. Maybe that is what it means? But more likely it's an UPS, or an unusual parallel occurrence. Quote Link to comment
+kkhill Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 How funny... I used 'geopile' in a post here in the forums just last night. Around here it means that pile of branches, bark, wood, etc that people tend to use to conceal the visible part of a cache when in it's hiding spot. Classic example is when people hide them under a log... and then throw some other debris on top to cover the rest of it. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've seen it referred to as stickoflage here. Now, that is one that I want to remember! I love it! Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Ah yes, the UPS (Ubiquitous Pile of Sticks)! I've spotted many an ammo can first because my compadres had not yet learned to look for the UPS! Quote Link to comment
+Nature Kids Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 What do you call the trails that lead to the cache? First thing I look for when I am hunting for a cache, is the trail leading to it. Found a couple caches without using the GPSr that way. Quote Link to comment

First thing I look for when I am hunting for a cache, is the trail leading to it. Found a couple caches without using the GPSr that way. Geotrail. One of the first examples of Geocaching slang that I became familiar with. The managers of some of the nature preserves around here call them social trails. Quote Link to comment
