Google IS a search engine now, but BEFORE it was a search engine it was its
own thing. A google is a number...a one followed by 100 zeroes....a very BIG
number.
It is also the trail name for a group of Northwest letterboxers...
I hope that helps.

Googled is not just a trail name, it is a line of letterboxers. Here
is how it started:
Once upon a time, actually around February 21, 2003, a bookstore
owner in San Luis Obispo, CA. "googled" the name of his store. He
wanted to see who had linked to it, you know the feeling. Anyway, he
found that a certain nepherious letterboxer, who shall remain
nameless but his initials are Ryan Carpenter, had planted a microbox
in that store.
The owner of the store and his manager, a certain rodent who can toss
three or more objects in the air at once over-and-over again,
followed the clues and found the microbox. The owner thought the idea
was stupid, but his manager secretly thought it intriguing. She told
a coworker and her best friend.
That rodent manager and her best friend became diligent letterboxers.
They thought it might be nice to have a name for themselves and
anyone who was later turned onto letterboxing by them. They decided
that since the owner had "googled" the name, that they would become
Googled (sometimes abbreviated as 10**100D, or ten to the hundredth
power.) They took as their motto the button label on the website
Google, "I'm Feeling Lucky!" And indeed, they were.
To become a member of Googled, all you have to do is to be turned
onto letterboxing by the fanatics who started it or the ones they
turned onto it, or the ones that... well, you get the idea. Oh,
Googled has bestowed the dubious honor of being members on Ryan
Carpenter and Amanda from Seattle. They may regret that they remained
silent when asked about it. Googled took it as assent. Pushy group!
I cannot name all the members of Googled. By now some of
the "downline" have stretched far beyond telling. I wonder if the
newest members even know they are members? Maybe when it comes time
for the initiation ceremonies (the initiates must bring their own
goat's blood and Wesson Oil, it's the rule) they can be told.
A partial list might include:
JugglerMouse
Ash Raven
Emily Rose
Doubtful Katherine
The Abbess
Pandy
Iron Bear
Dean Six and Robbie
Mr. Michael Johnson
Pat and Don Metzler
GSD
Hyacinth's Rose
Sadie from Nebraska and Dave
Rashayla and Shannon
Kylie and Chase Million
McKenna
House Ravenhurst
Ryan and Amanda
and me, I'm that best friend,
And if you are reading this and have been somehow turned onto
letterboxing thru this line, hey! Welcome to the group! Do let us
know. We are working up a nice stamp to send around to only members
of Googled.

Unless there's a another team that I'm not familiar with, and that may be
true, can the Team Ravenhurst you're referring to, actually mean Team
Rayvenhaus? If there is a Team Ravenhurst, I think that's awesome! If
there's not, and we're the only Blackwinged Team around, that's awesome too!

Okay what if a jolt of adrenaline goes through your system just by
reading this message....does this mean I am googled? Even though I
have been at it since April 2003 and was originally turned on via my
own discovery?
PS Duck Duck LB is one of my all-time favorites!!! The stamp wowed me
and while sitting on that hunk of stone, one of those Southerly
lizards stopped and posed for me! It was all silvery and slick!!!
Thanks Amanda!!!!

Greetings msishkabibble -
You are absolutely right "Googled" is a search engine.
It is also the name of a letterboxing group that originated in SLO
California and then migrated and is now becoming rather large (thanks to me
) in the Pacific Northwest.
The group's name evolved when one enchanting and stimulating young woman was
Googling with her co-workers one day and put in the name of the bookstore
they worked at and came up with a link to one Ryan Carpenters letterboxes.
The letterbox was planted in the bookstore without the knowledge of the
employees.
This astonishing young woman then told her Badger boyfriend about it, which
then told his sweet little chaos creating friend and his daughter, who then
told their friends and pretty soon there was a whole letterboxing line that
descended from this Google experience. One of us then suggested we make a
club so to speak of local letterboxers and in honor of how the whole thing
underwent the group was named Googled.
The Googled group if you ask me is full of some of the most creative and
talented and active letterboxers that you will come across. I do not think
you can ask for men to be move active and involved in letterboxing, hosting
wonderful events and putting out some of the most magnificent stamps as does
Sir B and RayvenDad. As for caving potential there are very few that I
believe can compare with the carvings of Ms JugglerMouse. The group is also
full of wonderfully supportive significant others such as RayvenMom and
Iron`Bear and includes some very infamous letterboxers like Ryan Carpenter
and Amanda From Seattle. Plus there are just really awesome gothic chicks
like AshRaven and me. Though I am really unsure what exactly my talent in
letterboxing really is. I do think when it comes to persistence Ash Raven
and I claim the prize there. ----
So that is my shot at elucidation of Googled, perhaps Sir B will do a bit
better. Personally I think the members of Googled are so awesome that I am
starting a new campaign
Googled for Senate!
I bid you all well
