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).
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.
