The day before my jaunt toward southeast Texas, I was surprised to see a notification for a newly published cache, not because it never happens, but because it was in one of the socioeconomically poor areas of town I have mentioned in the past. The cache posted midmorning, but I lazed around during the day, doing … Continue reading New Treasure On An Empty Map →

So, I should probably start at the beginning. I’ve written about some of this before, so you can skip the next paragraph if it’s already familiar.There’s a challenge here in Texas called the I’ve Been Everywhere Challenge. Most of you have probably heard the Johnny Cash song (which is actually a cover of a Hank Snow song, … Continue reading As In The Days Of Blessed Memory →

Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to be interviewed by a journalism student from the University of Texas at Austin about geocaching and some of my related antics. I talked about some of the places I'd been and some of the best caches I'd seen over the years. Toward the end, she mentioned that, as part … Continue reading What Men Must Know →

So, I was out one afternoon, intent on getting a cache for the day. Sometimes, when I’ve got nothing pressing, I’ll pick a direction and just go for a while before grabbing a cache. Not only does this often take me outside my normal hunting grounds, which is useful when you’re keeping a streak (even … Continue reading Avenged! →

The girls were visiting from L-Town this weekend, so I took them out to work with me, grabbing some of those caches that are going away soon! We got to the park, found a spot near the first cache, and then went for a walk. It all began with an old-school Letterbox Hybrid. There were two stages, … Continue reading No Stone Unturned, No Tree Unclimbed →

Wednesday evening was a happy affair for a silly reason. I avenged an old DNF. The silly part was that it wasn't that hard of a cache. I knew exactly what it was, but I had gone back to look for it four different times over the last few years. I just couldn't find it, but I knew that … Continue reading A Tale Of Two Evenings →

Yesterday morning, a new cache dropped a few miles from home. I wouldn’t exactly call it within the mile-and-a-half-to-two-mile radius that I consider my backyard, but it was at a location that I pass fairly often on the way home from work. Cool, I thought. I’ll swing by before work, snag an FTF, and then … Continue reading Some Days Working Sucks! →

On Friday, I was waxing on about the past fading away and how it must eventually make way for the new. I failed to factor in one very important thing: I am a dumb@$$.  So, I went back and looked at the page for the cache that inspired me, and I noticed that the logs mentioned … Continue reading The Past Is Actually 250 Feet Away →

Yesterday I went for a cache at the edge of a park I had visited several times before. The cache is part of a series that features each cache placed at a cemetery that, at a minimum, exists in the state's paperwork. I walked along a running trail for a little bit and then popped off … Continue reading The Past Beneath Our Feet, The Future Ahead →

So, as we know, Magtfplanner spent the day in town. Since he makes a video every day about his exploits, he made one about our shenanigans in Austin! And just for the record, I can't stand the way I look or sound in videos. So, as much fun as I was having, I was slightly horribly dreading … Continue reading Here It Is 11: Cameras Are Not Kind To Me →
