With the break of day and the opening of the main doors, we all gathered in our various panoplies. We sequestered ourselves with our teams in preparation for the closing of the doors and the addressing of the troops. And when they closed, the moment was upon us. From the dais, we received a rundown … Continue reading The 20th Annual Texas Challenge and Festival →

We began in earnest, with a burning in our bellies to come back with glory. The Conroe GeoTour is composed of 32 caches distributed all across Montgomery County. It would not be a simple thing to accomplish in one day (nor would we, as the title might suggest, but that's not important). We set off … Continue reading The Conroe GeoTour (Part The First) →

I hit town Wednesday night and faced a minor dilemma. My hotel room was booked for Thursday night, and they didn't have a room open yet. Consequently, I opted to spend the night in my car, as I have on many nights in many places. But I had some time to kill, so I did … Continue reading The Run-Up To… →

I must apologize that I don't have any super exciting caches to show at the moment because I did nothing awesome on Thursday, both by accident and by design. The design part was that I got here Wednesday evening, and my hotel didn't have my room ready (in their defense, I had booked for Thursday … Continue reading A Preview →

This time, as can be seen from the hands, my other daughter got in on the action. This one had even more guest stars than usual since we ended up dragging my niece (their cousin) along for the ride. But my oldest was the one who made the find. It's nice to know that some … Continue reading And The Other Lent A Hand… →

This being Spring Break, I have some caching guest stars, namely my daughters, visiting from the wilds of L-Town. Well, sort of, anyway. I often drag them along to find caches with wavering amounts of interest. As some of you with kids have no doubt figured out, once they start getting older, unless they're really … Continue reading With Special Guest Star! →

This cache has been around for quite a long time, but I've only just gotten around to getting it. Behold! My first UV light cache! After all this time, buying that UV light finally paid off! Is there a feeling quite as lovely as vindication? Probably, but vindication will most certainly fit the bill! I've … Continue reading Something Old, Something New →

It seems a little ominous that my cache photo is from a mostly forgotten cemetery in a subdivision, but it is unfortunately fitting. Remember when I mentioned that cacher who fell off a ladder and went into the hospital about three weeks ago? Well, he passed away yesterday. On a certain level, I feel glad … Continue reading Safety! Safety!! Safety!!! →

Obviously, caching got done over the weekend. I almost took a trip down to San Antonio to grab a few, but I ended up changing plans to accommodate other things. That changed the direction to Lampasas, but the threat of rain put the proverbial kibosh on that, too. The road calls, and I want to … Continue reading The Wanting Comes In Waves →

So, my cache today wasn't anything special in and of itself (it was blurry because sometimes I forget how to take a photo, but that's a different issue altogether), but its location was an interesting thing. It turns out that Austin-Bergstrom International Airport has a viewing area. I've lived here all my life, and I … Continue reading Where The Cache Takes You →
