Saturday morning, I intended to attend an Event held by a representative of the upcoming GeoWoodstock XXI. Unfortunately, I overslept and completely missed it. I am not renowned for being a morning person to begin with (unless a trip is involved—usually), but real life was total chaos for a couple of days, so I probably … Continue reading Sleeping On Events →

No, Dr. McCoy never actually said those specific words, but the sentiment is real. Yesterday, after just over six years, I archived the third cache I ever placed. It was my most found cache. A nice, simple beginner find. There are actually two reasons I archived it. First, it is on the other side of … Continue reading It’s Dead, Jim →

A couple of days ago, I went to an Event. Not just any Event, mind you. When a Lackey visits, of course I'm going to have a beverage with them! When a bunch of Lackeys visit? Even more so! When the Event was published last month, I was intrigued to see an unfamiliar name as … Continue reading We Loved It! →

It was another average weekend doing the thing we all love to do. Yesterday, I drove out to the neighboring town of Cedar Park to find a plastic jar hidden under a rock. That's pretty hardcore, right? All right, maybe not. Around the same time, I received a notice that someone had DNF'd a cache … Continue reading Off The Proverbial Chain! →

Since all I could do last time was complain about something I had done a thousand times before, I decided to start working on something completely new and different (for me)! While looking for a cache that wasn't there a while back, I stumbled across something I had never encountered before: the word riparian in … Continue reading Change The Conversation →

I have a confession to make. It may be controversial, and you may want to stone me afterward, but I feel I have to say it.I have grown tired of micros in trees.I know you are already lighting the torches and sharpening the pitchforks, but bear with me for a moment. If you remove the … Continue reading Arboreal Ennui →

Yesterday, I found a cache. Nothing special or extraordinary, just a bison hanging in a sign pole. The only things different about it are that (a) it was hidden by a newer cacher fairly recently, and I missed it when it published, and (b) it’s in a neighborhood that I used to live in and … Continue reading Obviously, I Wasn’t In Yuma →

I picked up a cache yesterday that brought back memories. It was a nano, but it was placed by an art installation right next to an old piece of railroad trestle in downtown Austin. Many, many moons ago, I found a cache on that bridge under a blood red moon, and I've never forgotten it. … Continue reading Sentiment Is Secondary To Science →

A couple of days ago, I went out to a park to look for a cache. It was a return visit; a few weeks ago, my caching daughter and I went out for an FTF, and the cache wasn't there. A few other cachers made the same attempt and noted the same deficiency. The CO … Continue reading A Balanced Equation →

I put my children to work a bit for me this weekend. Sometime last year, I got their help looking for a cache up in a tree that I hadn't been able to find after multiple attempts. My caching daughter managed to spot it, and my muggle daughter was willing to climb to get it, … Continue reading Pressed Into Service →
