Sometimes all the acronyms of geocaching can get confusing to a newbie,so we’d like to help with some common abbreviations that cachers will find in logs and descriptions on Geocaching.com.
In this Geo-Jargon Monday,we’d like to tell you what “BYOP”is.
BYOP means…
Bring Your Own Pen (or Pencil). Frequently,a cache owner or fellow cacher who has recently found a cache will alert you that the container is too small for a pen or pencil and that you need to bring your own in order to sign the log.
Really,a pen is one of the things that a cacher should never be without,so consider the BYOP to be a reminder of a good practice for any cache!
