I think you should stay with Offtrail.  Q-Tip makes a good point about
another self-depricating type of meaning.  Offtrail is a good one.

Have fun!

For a couple months I've been contemplating changing my caching name from
Offtrail, which I originally chose from the type of hiking I enjoy the most.
I don't hike that way except in places where the impact of such travel is
negligible, if not zero. But, from a desire to show geocaching as an
environmentally friendly activity, which generally it is, I'm thinking of
changing to Peakbagger, my long-time email name.  I think it's available.

Familiar names are important, though, and shouldn't be changed easily or
often. A certain mountain peak in Phoenix is a good example.

So, two questions for anyone who cares to give an opinion:

1. Does "Offtrail" have negative connotations, or am I concerned about
nothing?

2. Have others who have changed their name experienced any complications at
the main site or at azgeocaching regarding stats, etc.?

Offtrail....for awhile, anyway
