...not to be mistaken for the cacher of similar name who found five caches over a decade ago.I made an unexpected trip up to L-Town and while I was up there, I took advantage of an opportunity. As mentioned previously, I had an odd D/T for a Treasure that I needed (1.0/2.5). It was hard … Continue reading They Call Me Bilbo Swaggins →

Alright, I will cede that Treasures are making me go after caches and D/Ts that I might not normally go after. Normally, I just grab a nearby or easy to get to cache and then go on with my day. But because of my need to complete things, I opted to go after one of … Continue reading Nope… Nope… Nope… →

For a very long time, I’ve had a little problem.  When caches drop, I would only be informed if they were the basic physical ones (Traditional, Mystery, Letterbox, etc.) but never the other types (Events, CITOs, Earthcaches, etc.).  I always thought that it was a huge missed opportunity to not notify cachers, especially when it … Continue reading Continuing Education →

The Girls came down from L-Town for the weekend, so Saturday we went to get a cache. We ended up grabbing one in East Austin. From a caching perspective, that is specifically where I was talking about when I discussed the idea of the disadvantaged side of the socioeconomic divide in cache placement. From a … Continue reading Not To The Swiftest →

I went to a local Community Celebration yesterday. I expect that a good handful are going to be hosted in the next six weeks or so as time is running out to host them. I wonder if maybe HQ would consider awarding them randomly as time goes on so people can have chances of attending … Continue reading Worst Among Equals →

The Girls are coming down this weekend and I wish there was a GIFF event I could take them to. While there is one over the weekend down in New Braunfels, it's going to be too late in the weekend; they'll have to head back to L-Town to early to attend. When will it come … Continue reading Shallow Thinking →

Saturday I was coming home from running an errand when I remembered that I needed to find a cache. Since I was in a part of town that I don't usually find myself in often, I thought there should be a plethora of options. I was incorrect; the area has been traditionally economically depressed but … Continue reading Size Matters →

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 →

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 →

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 →
