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.

I know it’s hard to tell that the county associates itself with eagles, so the giant eagle over the doorway of the courthouse was a helpful, much needed clue. It actually wasn’t a courthouse, it was an administration building, but it had all the hallmarks of a county courthouse: the flagpoles were there, the election … Continue reading 878.

I was almost a little amazed that I even found the courthouse in Glenwood Springs.  There were so many options to choose from: a county administration building, the clerk’s office, another combined courts building, and so many other county offices.  Yet somehow I made it.  By that point, I had driven over 2200 miles so … Continue reading 877.
