It began with a conundrum.  When I pulled up to the building, I had to go down a list of qualifications: the sheriff’s office was nearby, there was a county monument at the site, and some county officials worked there.  It wasn’t the first time a justice center would function for my purposes as the … Continue reading 835.

For my final courthouse of that day, I got a cracking one! But honestly, I was more concerned about getting back to Denver. I had gotten up especially early, so I was already feeling tiredness tugging at me, and I was staying with friends who get up early because of their jobs, so I didn't … Continue reading 834.

I found the Goshen County Courthouse to be a little odd. Not because of the building itself, mind you. I was just in a strange state of mind. Driving into Wyoming from Gering, I felt that, while western Nebraska was looking like Wyoming, eastern Wyoming was looking too much like Nebraska, which made me think … Continue reading 833.

This courthouse is much better than Harrisburg’s. I have to admit the first thing that popped into my head was Hill Valley from Back To The Future. I was even looking for an electrical cable hanging from the flagpole, thinking that I hadn't gone eighty-eight miles per hour in this county yet. Jokes aside, Gering … Continue reading 832.

Well, I've seen worse. Much worse. Considering that the town had a population on par with Paint Rock or even Mosquero, it would do. It was a plain courthouse for a plain, barely countable people (seriously, 99 people in town, 675 in the entire county). That said, we are not impressed. I took a quick … Continue reading 831.

That I even made it at all was its own kind of epic poem. Actually, that's not true. It was more of a cliché. You see, thanks to some issues I blame on the creators of iDevices, I didn't hear my alarm go off this morning. Therefore, I woke up about fifteen minutes after I … Continue reading 830.

... I’d probably just note that it’s more than likely a statistical anomaly.  But whether it’s just fate or random chance, I have had three days in a row where I’ve gone for D1/T1 caches and had them all end up as DNFs.  I’m 99.85 percent sure they’d gone missing in all three cases.  It’s … Continue reading If It Wasn’t For Bad Luck… →

... but I hate the reason.Last week, I learned that my aunt passed away. I was quite fond of her and she of me. Arrangements for her funeral have been made, which means that later this week, I'm going to be going up to Denver to celebrate her life and mourn her death. While I … Continue reading Opportunity Calls →

I walked down the street, heading for my daily cache and reading the description. The sidewalk was leading to an entrance sign for a subdivision, a nice wide-open canvas to hide something. Reading nothing of import in the description, I read the hint as well. "Experienced geocachers should have a good idea." I like to … Continue reading It Never Fails →

A couple of days ago, I went out to get my daily cache (as I am known to do).  I went downtown (as I am slightly less known to do) well after rush hour to find one that had been recently placed near a state history museum, thinking that I was going to have a quick sit-down-and-find.  … Continue reading My Muggle Mayhem Monday →
