I took the long (for normal people) drive up to L-Town to see the girls this weekend. Unfortunately, there was no county action, but that doesn't mean caching wasn't done. I needed my daily cache, and where better to find one than in a fresher hunting ground than usual? Since my younger daughter is the … Continue reading It’s Not What You Know… →

Which times are these? The ones that try men's souls.So, I was looking for a daily cache as I am wont to do. I had a couple of hours between one thing and another, and I figured I could grab a quick cache, get some dinner, and then go about with my plans. My closest … Continue reading These Are The Times →

I know I present myself to you as this put-together, high-speed, low-drag cacher. That is a carefully crafted illusion (both that I am high speed, low drag and that I successfully present myself as such). In reality, I mess it all up with what I believe is great beauty and aplomb. Caching is sometimes a … Continue reading Making A Mess Of Things →

First, I broke it. I was invited to a friend's birthday party at his new house a couple of towns over from Austin in Elgin. That was no inconvenience; I sometimes drive to Elgin to grab my daily cache. Before I arrived at the party, I took a little time to pick up something from … Continue reading Fregi, Currerunt, Scripserunt →

A couple of days ago, I received a bunch of emails. They were mostly notifications of new caches—just over half a dozen. Most of them I merely glanced over with little thought; they were part of an annoying series placed by our most prolific (and annoying) hider, and I had little (if any) intention of … Continue reading Technical Difficulties? →

I didn't feel too great yesterday. It was all I could do to get out of the house and find my daily cache. If I had been bedbound or something similar, I probably would have claimed a challenge, but not being truly infirm, I dragged myself out and got a cache. I should thank my … Continue reading The Long and the Short of It →

Saturday afternoon started off lousy. While the girls and I were at an event (not to be confused with an Event) at a library, someone stole my water bottle. I set it by a water fountain, nipped off into the men's room for three minutes, and when I stepped out, it was gone. It was … Continue reading For The Want Of A Bottle… →

A couple of days ago, I went to find a cache like I always do. I pulled up a Traditional on a map and drove to it. When I arrived, it was a dead end or YARN (Yet Another Road to Nowhere) that I recognized. There was a cache there I had never managed to … Continue reading Coming Around Again →

I was doing some website maintenance, specifically involving old pictures in old entries. As I was walking down memory lane, I saw a few that especially caught my eye or invoked other things, so I thought I'd take a few minutes to share some of them! To begin with, as a parent, it's hard to … Continue reading Dug From The Digital Mines →

Saturday, I did something that almost qualifies as new. I took my daughters out to find a few caches, most of which I had found long ago but one of which I had not. You might be forgiven for thinking this is no different from any other entry I've ever penned about taking the girls … Continue reading Momentous Days →
