Okay so I'm going to assume that you've visited the site geocaching.com and now you're wondering, "What do all those crazy letters on the logs mean?" Well it can be a bit confusing at first but below I'm posting a small list of the ones I run into most often.

TFTC or TFT$ = Thanks for the cache

TFTH = Thanks for the hide

SL = Signed Log

TNLN = Took nothing, Left nothing

BYOP = Bring your own pen (even if a cache doesn't say this, it's always a good idea to have one on hand just in case)

CITO = Cache in, Trash out (this is the policy to pick up any litter you find in the area of the cache you are searching for)

DNF = Did Not Find

FTF = First to find

Muggle = Anyone who does not know about geocaching (yes if you are wondering it's also a term from Harry Potter :P)

Swag = small items for trade found in a cache (normally things like McDonald's happy meal toys)

TOTT = Tools of the Trade

Okay so those were a few of the acronyms I've run into but for a complete list of what the terms and acronyms mean go to http://www.geocaching.com/about/glossary.aspx.

Happy Caching Everyone!
