  Subject: [Az-Geocaching] BUFPUT History Lesson

  Since I'm the one who orginated the term BUFPUT, I
  guess I'll explain it to the newcomers.

  About a year ago, someone asked how some of us were
  able to find caches before they were officially listed
  on the geocaching web site.  It used to be that you
  could go call up the newest cache and then go to the
  top of your browser and increment the cache number to
  see the newer caches even before they were approved
  and listed (that feature has since been blocked).=20
  Several local cachers were using this feature to jump
  the gun and be the first to find the new caches.  Two
  of these unnamed cachers had yellow Jeeps, and another
  had a Ford truck.  I explained the method on the
  listserver and then mentioned that "All you have to do
  is look out for yellow Jeeps and Big Ugly Ford PickUp
  Trucks".  The acronym stuck.

  And another welcome to Team DaSH.
