Many years ago, when I was in junior high school, before middle schools were a thing, I had a bicycle. It was a cheap bike from Sears. It was heavy and yellow. I had so many accidents on it that I actually warped the frame and forks a little bit. It was still rideable, though. … Continue reading Two-Wheeled Suzerainty On Memory Lane →

I spy with my little eye something beginning with "M" ... More gnomes! I went to get a cache and the closest one was in a crevice in some karst. Poking in it and behind some rocks, I found a hidden little imp standing beside a hidden little well, and in the well was a … Continue reading Cryptids →

Sunday morning, I drove out to Dripping Springs, a small town outside of Austin that has over the last decade and change become a bedroom community for the city. Consequently, development has made it feel less like a small town of forty-six hundred people and more like a small (dare I say minuscule?) city, especially … Continue reading A City Of Stars →

So, our previously mentioned South Austin hider has been making significant inroads into the center of the city, enough so that a couple of his new caches dropped between work and home.  I had no hope of getting FTF on either of them (they were both snapped up before I got off work that day), … Continue reading A Kid In A Candy Store →

The Girls and I went out to grab a cache a couple of days ago. The first attempt was a bust; we didn't feel like tracing over every inch of a mildly overgrown mulberry tree for a micro. There was a second one around the block, a regular, that seemed more promising. We parked at … Continue reading A Rash Decision →

I lamented that the Girls and I were not able to make it to Hutchinson this past weekend, especially since it was only nine hours away and I doubted that the next GeoWoodstock would be as close. Apparently I was wrong because the next one is going to be in Baton Rouge, a mere six … Continue reading Sometimes We Get Second Chances →

With all the new caches dropping in South Austin, I decided to grab one on the other side of the river. I also didn't feel like taking a long walk on a trail (it had been threatening rain all day) so I went for an easy one that wasn't too difficult. I was brought to … Continue reading They Lie In Wormy Earth →

Over the weekend, I went to an Event (several actually, but one one was of note) down in New Braunfels. Apparently, Electric Water Boy made a suggestion for the Event. RavenclawTia set up the thing. Some people submitted their Will Attends. I didn't because I rarely do. When the time came, I made the drive … Continue reading It’s A Bad Idea And I’m All About It →

Saturday I was on the way home from L-Town and I decided to grab a cache. On the outskirts of Tyler, I turned off to visit a cemetery and pick up a quick cache. It was, in fact, quick and easy and when I was done, I was about to get back in the car … Continue reading Why Them? →

A couple of days ago I needed a cache. Just before I left work, I cracked open the map and started looking around. I noticed a nearby cache that I didn't remember being there before. It was low D/T, exactly what I needed on a warm day when I had to get home to get … Continue reading Recycling 2 (Electric Boogaloo) →
