The time is upon us again! Last night, I attended a GIFF 2025 Event, because of course I did! A little over a dozen of us gathered at an event center in Pflugerville to use their meeting room with big television to see the bleeding edge of Geocaching media, short films from Japan, South Africa, … Continue reading Everyone’s Gone To The Movies

I Stand By My Words
The most interesting thing to happen to me lately cache-wise is that I took a muggle friend with me to find a cache for the first time and, as has always happened in the past, I ended up DNFing it. It never fails: bring a muggle along for the first time, DNF. Sometimes I’ll take … Continue reading I Stand By My Words
Putting In Some Work
Saturday was an active day. In anticipation of Texas Challenge, we've been hiding new caches for our expected visitors. We took an opportunity to make some more ... challenging hides. For a while, we've been going through challenges all over the United States, looking for interesting ones that we don't have here in Texas. A … Continue reading Putting In Some Work
Paging Doctors Dunning And Kruger
Twice in the last couple of weeks, I've had newer cachers reach out to me to inquire about the state of caches of mine that they couldn't find. In both cases, they questioned whether or not they were there (in the second case, I was informed that it was missing). I need you to understand … Continue reading Paging Doctors Dunning And Kruger
Well, That Was Weird
I had to run up to Georgetown, so I decided to go ahead and grab a cache in the area. My first attempt was at a park not far from the center of town. I had been there a couple of times before, but both times it was crawling with kids and I didn't want … Continue reading Well, That Was Weird
Caching Orthodoxy
There was a bit of a caching to-do in and around Center over the weekend, but I had to miss out on the shenanigans because I went up to L-Town to see the Girls on Saturday. It rained on the way up and on the way back and during some of the time we were … Continue reading Caching Orthodoxy
It’s Been A Minute
Yesterday I was eating an early dinner and looking at the map for a daily cache. I lucked out and found an FTF five minutes from where I was eating. I was immediately suspicious when I saw it had been placed three days before. I couldn't believe any of the more hardcore cachers around here … Continue reading It’s Been A Minute
Stuff I Get No Longer
Yesterday I went to get my daily cache (shock, right!), an LPC, nothing special. I lifted the skirt and found a cap-n-cap along with a cute miniature bottle of fake champagne, a funny piece of swag like I had never seen before. I did my photography, signed the log, and then headed off to get … Continue reading Stuff I Get No Longer
Lone Star Roundup 2025
The TXGA puts on two events every year. The more well known one is, of course, the venerable Mega-Event Texas Challenge (the 24th Challenge will be in Taylor TX on March 14th 2026 #blatantplug). The less well known of the two is the yearly Texas Roundup. Long ago some folks were turned off by the … Continue reading Lone Star Roundup 2025
Keep On Going
Yesterday, I found a cache in a location I had been before. Many, many moons ago, I found a cache near downtown at an office for a disability advocacy group. I'm sure that if I looked back through the archives, I could find the entry with a photo of a giant wheelchair out front. I … Continue reading Keep On Going
