I arrived at the Expo Center early, earlier than I ever had before. A few volunteers and vendors also began morning setup as well. There was just enough time to make some preparations for what was about to come. Half an hour later, everyone else began to stream in, arrayed in their panoplies. I knew … Continue reading The 24th Annual Texas Challenge and Geocaching Festival →

From the moment this began to kick off, I knew it was going to be a different experience for me than any other Mega has ever been. I've attended a bunch, probably working in half of them in one for or another, but this was the first one that I was responsible for putting on. … Continue reading The Day Before… →

It's been a heck of a weekend. And not entirely in a fun way for me. A lot of other people liked it, which was the point. But it also means that I'm worn out and not in a head or body space to write about any of it yet. That is why I have … Continue reading A Puddle Of Goo →

So when you’re planning a Mega-Event, you’ve got a lot of moving parts to deal with: the venue, attendee registrations and swag, vendors, and any number of details that may turn out to be a pain in the butt. I was prepared for the possibility of a number of these things. The pain in the … Continue reading The Unbelievers →

There are so many details and moving bits. We're at a point where, regardless of what we may or may not have done, something is going to happen and a lot of people are going to be there to see it. It's getting down to the wire, folks. Here's hoping that everyone enjoys what we've … Continue reading The Wire →

Normally, going out to get a cache with the Girls is the biggest and most interesting thing to come from any weekend, but not this time. Yesterday was the last meeting of the team behind the upcoming Texas Challenge before the big show itself. It was a little smaller than usual because of some car … Continue reading The Council Of Elrond →

A couple of days ago, I had to meet with another caching friend for a thing. For a little while, we went back and forth about where to meet up. Finally, I just decided to take the bull by the horns. I hadn't found my cache for the day and I knew roughly where she … Continue reading Novel Navigation Methods →

A few days ago, about 350 to 400 new Mysteries dropped near my area. Most of them were part of a couple of new Geoarts placed conveniently near the upcoming Texas Challenge. The rest were part of a new challenge trail. The trail had to be placed a little ways from the others, partially to … Continue reading Taking Ownership →

I went out to L-Town over the weekend to see the Girls. The younger daughter had to go to an extracurricular thing out of town so her sister and I took her to school to catch the appropriate school bus. The older daughter fueled up the car and then set off on a mini road … Continue reading Ghosts Of The Piney Woods →

I took the day off to visit Taylor yesterday in anticipation of the big show in a couple of weeks. There's always last minute things and stuff involved in a venture of that nature. But before I headed back home, I decided to go ahead and grab a cache since I was well outside of … Continue reading I Did Not Expect The Unexpected →
