The Saturday morning square was quiet, and photography began in close order until I was diverted by a distressing development at the veteran’s memorial. The halyard broke during the storm, dropping both the flags (American and POW/MIA) onto the ground.  So began some impromptu folding.  The POW flag I merely took off the ground and … Continue reading 220.

Nice courthouse.  I approve.  I don’t think I would call it picturesque, but I guess that’s not really all that important.    What was really important was what I found a couple of blocks away at the Crosby County Pioneer Memorial Museum… Heeeyyyy, Quanah!  How ya doin’ buddy?  Long time no see!  You got a cache … Continue reading 219.

Another Paint Rock tiny town, but it did seem to have some sort of vague charm to it that I’m not quite able to pin down.  But at least the rain had abated so it wasn’t that bad.  The cache I really wanted to go for was a 2/4.5 that involved a climb up an … Continue reading 218.

This courthouse was pretty disappointing.  Heck, I actually flew by it when I arrived in to town because I didn’t recognize it for what it was.  I thought it may have been an activity center or something (which is ironic because I drove by the actual county activity center and it was more impressive).  The … Continue reading 217.

This photo was much darker than the last.  I have a lighter but crappier one, too... Haskell at least was a town of some size with a square.  Benjamin was tiny (we're talking Paint Rock tiny) and through the darkness I could hear the horses neighing in the distance.  You can still feel the flat … Continue reading 216.

Soon this year will be over. As of this writing, I have been caching for 565 days and I’m am on day 562 of a streak. This year I have made 12 hides and found 788 caches, including 18 first to finds, hundreds of trackables, and caches in 200.0 new counties (significant digits are a … Continue reading This Year Ends →

I feel I should apologize for the photography of this courthouse.  In hindsight it looks bright enough, I think, but at the time I wasn’t sure.  Normally I wait until just before sunrise to do this, but I was awake at a crazy hour of the morning already and was zealously ready to rock.  It … Continue reading 215.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the big show! I just got back from Northwest Texas, finishing up the Big Country, finishing off the suburbs of Lubbock, and limping inexorably toward the completion of the Project! As an aside commentary, I have to officially admit I'm a big dumb stupid head. So many times I've … Continue reading It’s A Go! →

1.) I started placing and publishing my series that I've been working and considering for a year and change. The first two have published and the rest are going to be done one per day. Unfortunately, I haven't placed the final yet because, well, it's not exactly tiny so there are logistics involved. But I've … Continue reading Go For Abilene? →

The festival of Saturnalia is upon us. It's a time of family and friends, of warmth and comfort. And for some of us, it's a time to geocache! And what a productive time it's been the last few days. I've placed most of the caches for the big thing I've been thinking about for a … Continue reading Merry Chrismahanukwanzakah! →
