The daily cache was acquired as you can see above. It's part of a national series, Cache Across America. There's fifty of them, one in each state, and a final that you can get if you have the appropriate codes from the appropriate caches. Even switched a couple of trackables, coincidentally, belonging to the same … Continue reading Counting Down →

...the lower the lows.After this past weekend, I have just grabbed local, unremarkable caches under normal, unremarkable circumstances, resulting in what I consider an unremarkable entry. I know everyday caches have their place, but I have to admit that at the moment "banal" is the word that comes to mind. After having been on the … Continue reading The Higher The Highs… →

To say that there was caching this weekend is a bit of an understatement. Saturday, I went south with the girls, and we did a little caching, picking up a few, including a challenge I once DNF'd. This ultimately involved a return to San Marcos (this time with windows installed) and San Antonio (not pictured). … Continue reading Those Are Rookie Numbers! →

...constant attempt to avoid Sheryl Crow lyrics, especially here, where the the Austin sound (a peculiar mix of blues, country, and rock [along with serious punk, indie, metal, and hip-hop scenes {again, I cannot resist nested parentheticals}]) looms so dominantly over everything. But that's really beside the point. The actual point is that caches need … Continue reading Every Day Is A… →

So my buddy gives me a call and asks if I want to go for a 4/4 Whereigo and I say "Sure!" We made arrangements to meet on Sunday and all that good stuff. I'm feeling my oats. I've tackled a couple on my own so I'm ready for this. I was not ready for … Continue reading Where I Went (Wrong) →

Saturday my daughters said they wanted to drive west. So we drove west. Of course, I needed to get a cache, not only because of streak (which I will get back to in a minute), but because of Big Blue Switch Day. And after driving for a while, I decided to make a thing of … Continue reading Journey To The West (Children’s Edition) →

More than a few bloggers, vloggers, and podcasters have noted that, with all the travel restrictions and state lockdowns, it's gotten harder to travel and, by extension, generate content. To some extent, it's to be expected. We can only really go so far in the name of "exercise." I myself have talked a little about … Continue reading It’s Getting Harder →

Another day, another cache. I'm still managing to maintain a streak (the above makes 682 days) even in the time of cholera. But, I had noticed something weird... I assume many of you use Project-GC (and if you don't, you should if you have any interest in stats, numbers, maps, or anything data related). Both … Continue reading Numbers →

Sure, I grabbed a couple of caches over the weekend. Yesterday I went to grab a lab cache, but the but the Texas State Cemetery was closed and locked up, probably because of the time of cholera. I would have jumped the fence but there was a small group day drinking on a patio across … Continue reading How Far We Have Gone →

Diametrically opposed to DNF Day is FTF Day. So here's the thing... I'm not an FTF chaser, but if a cache drops within a couple miles of home, odds are pretty good that I'm going to go for it, especially if I haven't gotten one that day. Add in that I'm working from home and … Continue reading FTF Day →
