Ladies and gents, welcome back to the Land of Corn and Stuff! As it so often seems to be, I was back there in the middle of the night doing the things we are drawn to do. At least they were kind enough to illuminate this one so that's nice. Slightly odd monument thing, but … Continue reading 493. Meade, Meade County (KS017)

492. Beaver, Beaver County (OK75)
It took me about 550 miles of driving to get here. I passed a lot of old friends on the way... ...but now wasn't the time to visit and catch up so I just snapped some photos while I was driving. The occasional burst of rain didn't help, especially the one with the pea sized … Continue reading 492. Beaver, Beaver County (OK75)
Let’s Try This Trick Again…
Alright... The things are resolved. The stuff is out of the way. My plans have been slightly rejiggered, but barring weirdness, I'll be leaving later this weekend to take the road trip I was supposed to have taken last weekend to Mingo Madness! That being said, weirdness has already happened once so I leave open … Continue reading Let’s Try This Trick Again…
In The Meantime…
...we still keep caching. For the last few days, I've been working a specific issue of sorts. Good old Project-GC has a little tool that allows you to see the finds you've made in a 360 degree arc around your home location by degree. North is covered for me thanks to Oklahoma and Kansas. The … Continue reading In The Meantime…
What Else Could I Do?
It felt weird sitting around the house. I had all this time on my hands because I expected to be in another state this weekend. So what else could I do? I went and cached. I grabbed letterboxes. I grabbed some unknowns. I got some FTFs. I brought out the ladder and climbed some trees. … Continue reading What Else Could I Do?
Disappointment Beyond Measure
...both for myself and my loyal readers. I do not write this from some stop on the road, but from my own desk at home. Real life, the bane of my caching existence, has chosen the most inopportune time to pay a visit. I'm not about to turn to sackcloth and ashes to display my … Continue reading Disappointment Beyond Measure
Pre-Gaming
I've been prepping for a road trip for a while. This has been in the works for quite some time. More than a year, actually. I've got four things to accomplish this upcoming trip, three of which are geocaching related:1. Complete the last three counties of Oklahoma.2. Pass through Enid again.3. Sign the Oklahoma 77 … Continue reading Pre-Gaming
491. Hot Springs, Garland County (AR43)
Now this is a lovely way to end a road trip with a handsome specimen of a courthouse! And, as a strange turn of chance, this happened to be the source of some interesting baseball trivia! Apparently, the courthouse was built on the site of baseball fields which were the first spring training site in … Continue reading 491. Hot Springs, Garland County (AR43)
490. Mount Ida, Montgomery County (AR42)
I wish I could tell you more about what I thought about the courthouse, but it was a little hard to focus for two reasons: 1) it was, as you can see, quite dark, and hard to get a good look at since I wasn't traveling with my low light solution (sure, there was enough … Continue reading 490. Mount Ida, Montgomery County (AR42)
489. Danville/Dardanelle, Yell County (AR41)
I screwed up. Plain and simple. As you can see from the title, this county has two seats, one of them not far from Russellville. Unfortunately, I just completely missed Dardanelle and headed straight for Danville. It's particularly tragic because I passed through Dardanelle to get there. I'm counting this county. I've been to one … Continue reading 489. Danville/Dardanelle, Yell County (AR41)
