I do not usually worry about FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). I’m often more than happy to stay in my own hobbit hole, which is one of the many reasons caching is good for me. But it does crop up from time to time. I have had chances to do amazing things in my life that … Continue reading FOMO →

I know this is going to blow your minds, but yesterday after work, I went and got a cache! It was a fake but impressive 3D-printed rock hidden under the overhang of a larger rock. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy (as they say in the parlance of our times). Except it wasn't entirely. I felt a … Continue reading Not Quite Sousa, But A Little Too Close →

When this entry is published, assuming that I find a cache at some point today, it will be Day 2,314 of my caching streak, according to geocaching.com stats. Project-GC, while registering it under my profile, doesn't register it under the checker because I guess I got a bunch of Adventure Labs on Day 607 (it … Continue reading Acting With Intention? →

Assuming you haven't been living under a rock for the last couple of months, you know that International EarthCache Day was yesterday. Saturday, my daughter and I were the recipients of the new souvenir. With muggle daughter in tow, we went out to Dripping Springs for brunch with friends and then to a local park … Continue reading Old Skill, New Skill →

I was reading a caching forum yesterday where someone asked about hiding a cache that would make them money. Somehow, a cacher would have to pay to find the cache, possibly by mechanical means or perhaps a tip jar. The resounding consensus in the comments was "No." Most people fell back to the guidelines prohibiting … Continue reading The Yankee Dollar →

We're going to suck at geocaching!Yesterday, I ran out to Elgin to find my daily cache. I had several options to choose from, but I decided to get one in the back of a cemetery I had visited before (there always is one, after all). There's a cache at the front gate, but I hadn't … Continue reading Get In, Loser! →

I began the weekend with an FTF. A couple of caches, placed by a fairly new and heretofore unknown (to me) cacher, dropped on Friday close to home, so I got one of them. It turned out to be a nicely 3D printed nut cap with a couple of magnets in it. I felt happy … Continue reading Déjà Vu →

While it’s rare for me to attend multiple Events on the same day, it’s a non-zero occurrence. Yesterday was non-zero as well. I hosted an Event at a local taco place in honor of International Postcard Day. I cracked open the Big Book of Events and once again laid it bare for everyone. Fate offered … Continue reading Two Tacos And A Donut →

A couple of days ago, I wasn't feeling too hot. I almost didn't get a cache. I just didn't have it in me to figure out where to go or the wherewithal to hunt. We all have those days, and I have them as much as the next guy (well, maybe less, since (assuming I … Continue reading The Gift That Keeps On Giving →

I went up to scenic L-Town over the weekend. The girls and I went on a bit of a driveabout, as we are wont to do. The first mistake was that I didn't prepare as thoroughly as usual. Consequently, we played a lot more by ear than I normally would. We just ended up going … Continue reading Mistakes Were Made →
