I've talked about this before. If I have a pet peeve, it is this. But, having run into it more recently than I care to admit, I feel it is not unwarranted to mention it again.We cachers mostly live and die (metaphorically speaking) by the idea that if you didn't sign a cache's logbook, you … Continue reading Blatant Disrespect →

On Sunday, after the CITOs and back road shenanigans, I rested. As a result, I only went to a couple of Events. That is how I ended up Sunday evening at a Mexican restaurant (actually Tex-Mex, but we're not going to quibble about that) with a plethora of cachers from Austin, Georgetown, the surrounding areas, … Continue reading A Tale Of Two Cuisines →

Since all the scuttlebutt around here has been about the new Geoart, it only made sense that part of the weekend would be about it, too. We had a small but growing roster of people working on the various puzzles for all the Mysteries, but only a few of them were solved. A few folks … Continue reading The Kine-Based Day →

So, I got up Wednesday morning, and—as I usually do—I went through my morning rituals. I did morning ablutions, I got some breakfast ready, and as I ate, I read the morning news and all manner of online gubbins. I checked my email, and hundreds of messages were waiting for me. My early-morning brain went, … Continue reading Have A Cow, Man! →

In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? On Sunday, after I had already written my previous entry, I needed to go out and get a cache (as I am wont to do). I ran up to Pflugerville and managed to find a fake rock made of some kind … Continue reading Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright →

I got a call from a fellow cacher on Friday. She was making a second attempt on a simple gadget cache I had recently hidden that she DNF'd. She wasn't the first, but how anyone could miss a six-foot PVC pipe was beyond me. At the last Event I had seen her at, I told … Continue reading Bunch Of Savages In This Town! →

Over the last couple of weeks, I've stumbled over a few flat magnet caches. The weird thing about that is less the existence of them, but rather the frequency that I've seen them lately. They're not exactly all over the place to begin with, so it feels like finding so many at the same time … Continue reading How Do Magnets Work? →

A cache is a cache is a cache no matter where it is. And it's a good thing that they're everywhere because you never know where you're going to be finding one. A couple of days ago, I was up in Round Rock running an errand, and I figured I might as well get my … Continue reading Near! Far! →

It seems like it could mean "pertaining to an event," but it doesn't, which is tragic because if it did, I could call this an eventual weekend. More than likely, you don't care about my dip into wordplay. You only care about the hot, sweet, Event-based action. Friday night, I drove down to Lockhart for … Continue reading Eventually →

A couple of days ago, I drove into a wealthier, blander part of town. It's home to the richest high school in the city. The average student's car is higher–end than the average teacher's vehicle, and until recently, they had the third-best football facilities in the state, behind those of the Dallas Cowboys and the … Continue reading It’s Better To Have It And Not Need It… →
