+NHAnimator Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 As in the following clue I read recently: Geo-obvious - three-way fork in a birch tree Does it mean that it's obvious that I should look there? Or that it's obvious it should be hidden there, but it's not? Or something else entirely? Thanks, NHAnimator Quote Link to comment

But seriously, GZ often has "obvious" places to put a cache, which everyone but a beginner will recognize, especially if there is only one likely place in the area. So I'll bet the cache *is* in the three-way fork. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Sounds like it simply means an obvious spot, and they decided to throw a "geo" in there (for geocaching...). A few months ago, a cacher logged that she and I geo-chatted for some time. Who geoknows? - Maybe they felt a little geosilly when they typed up the geocache page. Quote Link to comment
+JL_HSTRE Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I don't think I've seen/heard the term before, but I would think "geo-obvious" is a location or placement that an experienced geocacher would know to immediate check, but a non-geocacher would not usually notice. An unusual pile of rocks, sticks, or palm fronds (depending on your location) or a lamp post skirt would places I would consider "geo-obvious". Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Sounds like another way of saying Geosense Quote Link to comment
+NHAnimator Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 In this case, the line I provided was in the hint. The line which follows this one in the hint actually tells you where NOT to look as it is even more obvious. Unfortunately, I did find the geo-obvious one but it was a DNF for the cache. Looks like a hike back is in order. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment
+C+Sgeocouple Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Perhaps means experienced geocacher's will find this an obvious cache. Quote Link to comment
