We all spend our time looking for...something. That is the one thing that every geocacher (and pretty much every human) has in common. In our cases, it's direct: we are looking for cache after cache after cache. But if you're like me (and I think maybe you are [to some extent]), you have spent a … Continue reading Aspirations And Disappointments →

Thanksgiving is upon us! This is the time when we all travel to our families and ancestral homes to feast upon the fowl or ham or turducken (or Chinese food if that is how you roll). No doubt you will cache your way there as well. If you're traveling, you might as well, both for … Continue reading The Turkeys Will Have Their Day →

This weekend I attended a special event, dedicated to two longtime local cachers, Moosiegirl and The Outlaw. The occasion? Well, that book that Moosiegirl is signing is the log of the Texas County Challenge, the object of both my site and my obsession desire. They completed the Challenge this summer but, thanks to their job … Continue reading Hail The Conquering Heroes! →

This has, thus far, been a month of FTFs for me. Earlier this month I attended my first CITO. There have been ones in the past, but I just was never able to attend. But it finally happened. One of the attendees was kind enough to hide some caches and arrange for them to drop … Continue reading FTF! →

Ladies and gentlemen (or however you identify—I don't mean to be gender assumptive), consider that the Texas Challenge is in a few months (four as of this writing). A big part of it, the "Challenge" part of it, is the competitive portion of it. Teams made up of regions of Texas along with an "out … Continue reading A Complete And Total Partisan Hack →

This weekend I spent some time in the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve. There are a few old virtuals and an earthcache in the Preserve, only one of which I had previously claimed. Well, I thought, it was high time I did something about it. So I took a hike. As I walked its trails, I … Continue reading Into The Basin →

Tools... We all have them. We all use them. Some tools, such as tweezers get a whole lot of use. Others, like (in my case) the stick-borne mirror, don't get used all that much. Some caches need them, others do not. Of course, not all of mine are pictured. My trusty maglight is still in … Continue reading Tool Of The Trade Question… →

Frozen birdbaths and covered plants! Brrr!!! So I have no doubt that a lot of you, specifically those of you who live in the northerly latitudes, are going to laugh at me but Austin froze over yesterday. There was a chance of snow, but it didn't materialize. It snowed out in the Hill Country, though. … Continue reading I Love A Challenge! →

So Sunday afternoon I went to watch some short films with a few of my closest...local cachers. We watched sixteen short films from around the globe; a couple from Spain, a couple from Slovakia, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, several from the good old US of A, and others. And while we were at it, there … Continue reading Geocaching International Film Festival 2019 →

So I took a trip back in the giant greenbelt. A lovely stroll down the trail, a lovely dip into the trees, and there it was! There's a natural bridge further down the trail with an earthcache that I'm thinking about getting soon. And, of course, deeper into the woods are any number (60-ish) more … Continue reading Sometimes I Like Nature… →
