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! →

I said I'd return. And so I did. I almost didn't. It can sometimes be annoying when people drop needs on you when you have plans. But we love the people we love and caching is never more important than that (most of the time). Accordingly, I ended getting a late start after all that … Continue reading The Texas Star: Part Two →

No photo here today because my last few caches haven't been that interesting or photo worthy. And as a sidenote, for a person who follows and monitors stats, I'm a bit amazed that I didn't notice that Wednesday, as I was committing misdemeanor trespassing, I was also claiming my 550th straight day of caching. Go … Continue reading Planning For The Near Future →

Somehow I still manage to maintain my streak. The above cache is my daily one. Interestingly enough, I had to sneak into a construction site to get it. It's near a dock and the entire waterfront is closed off for construction. The cache itself is nowhere near the construction, but is unfortunately inside the perimeter. … Continue reading Crime, Confrontation, and Command →

I know it's closer to Christmas than Thanksgiving, but something slightly odd has happened in my caching community and I want to talk about it for a moment. We have had a cacher in this community who has been quite...recalcitrant. I personally developed a bit of a disliking for him without ever having met him … Continue reading Happy Turkey Day? →

I've already talked about going to the Texas Challenge in March. It's literally half a mile from where I work so how can I not? For those of you who don't know, the "Challenge" part is an event where teams composed of cachers from different regions of the state go find special caches placed for … Continue reading Decisions, Decisions… →

So my mind wanders on occasion and now I'm thinking hard. I may or may not be thinking a bit above my weight here, but here goes... I'm planning on going to the 20th Anniversary Celebration and then Geowoodstock XVIII the week after. I hadn't decided if I was going to fly in and out … Continue reading August On My Mind →

Every state has a star geo-art. They require solving in myriad different ways, but Texas' is relatively easy and long ago solved by me. About a year and a half ago, I came out here a young and inexperienced cacher, stood under a 102 degree sun of summer with no hat, no water, and no … Continue reading The Texas Star: Part One →

My ability to cache has been severely limited the last few days. I hurt my knee so I've been wearing a brace. It turns sharp jets of pain into merely low level discomfort, but it seems to be working because I'm feeling better. So I'm sort of going out of town this weekend. It's time … Continue reading Weekend Plans →

I want to get back out on the road so BAD!!! I literally wish I could just take a four-day and get everything done that needs to be done!!! GAAAAH!!! Of course the big news on the block is the 20th Anniversary Celebration! What I find just as interesting is that they are randomly giving … Continue reading I’m Dying Over Here!!! →
