Monday was another Event that I couldn't miss. It was held at a restaurant that the Girls and I have frequented on many occasions (we like onigiri, OK?) and it was right on the way between work and home, which has been useful since vehicle has been at the mechanic. I'm very much looking forward … Continue reading Behold My Shortcomings →

Yesterday was the seventh anniversary of this site. It never ceases to amaze me that anyone would read anything that I wrote, much less having the knowledge that some of you have been doing it for so long. It's been kind of you to stick with me through it. This has not been my most … Continue reading A Seventh Year Gone By →

Yesterday morning, the Girls, visiting from L-Town, and I went out to grab a cache. Since my car is still in the shop, we were going to have a bus-based adventure, but I wimped out and decided to use one of the ridesharing services we have all come to know and loathe. They were the … Continue reading The Second Best Happening →

It’s rare these days I find myself in truly urban forest.  I have a tendency to stick to park lands when I “rough it” lately, mostly because I’m getting farther and farther out for my daily caches so I’m seeing more suburban and semi-rural.  But since I’m sticking closer to town thanks to car repairs, … Continue reading How Do I Get One? →

No, I haven't been to a Spanish Geotour that started and ended a year into my geocaching career. You see, many years ago when I lost a car, I was bus bound and did a lot of caching in town. Since my car is going to be down for a bit (my mechanic is booked … Continue reading The Ants Go Marching →

From a non-caching perspective, my weekend was absolutely lovely. From a caching perspective though, it was 50% failure. I was going to make a trip on Saturday morning out of town to somewhere where I could grab a whole bunch of caches since it's been a while since I just did that. Unfortunately, my car … Continue reading People May Make Plans →

It doesn't take a mathematician to calculate it's been over a month since I returned from Colorado. The downside of going there instead of some of my other options was that the terrain limited how many places I could go and how quickly I could get to them. But I got it done and over … Continue reading Meanwhile… →

So, what did I bring back from Colorado?  Well, I don’t know if you picked up on this subtle throughline that I wove into the narrative, but I hate mountain passes.  They are the most difficult type of driving and wear me out like little else.  But I also realize that I need to evaluate … Continue reading Lessons →

The front of the courthouse was partially obscured, but that I cannot blame on the trees. There was some kind of event there, so they put up a canopy for it. Not the first time I’ve run into a courthouse in use. Heck, not the first time on this trip. All the kids running around … Continue reading 880. Leadville, Lake County (CO64) →

The drive into Aspen was not at all what I expected.  It was all a wide main road, highway-like even, until I hit the town and then the courthouse.  And look at the gorgeous beast of a courthouse it is!  All red brick and, considering the holiday, liberty or some kind of crap like that.  … Continue reading 879.
