So, truth be told, the hotel room was "decent." The work they were doing in the middle of the night on one of the rooms didn't help. The wi-fi that literally only reached to my door but not inside the room was even more annoying. But I was up early, refreshed, recharged and ready to … Continue reading 113. Post, Garza County →

I managed to beat the dying of the light and this beautiful old lady awaited as my reward for a hard day of pushing myself. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to estimate how far I have driven today. As we can see, I couldn't get too close to this one. She … Continue reading 112. Tahoka, Lynn County →

Time was ticking down. I hadn't even noticed this before, but you can tell from the reflection in the courthouse window that the sun was getting low in the sky. I was running out of daylight and I needed to get it done before and done soon. There's always a cemetery. Welcome to the Brownfield … Continue reading 111. Brownfield, Terry County →

So here I was, in scenic Plains and what do I find at the Courthouse? Another of Quanah Parker's arrows. But not a cache. No, I'd have to get out of town for that (well, I didn't have to, but since I was going for high favorite caches, I kinda did)... So there's this bed … Continue reading 110. Plains, Yoakum County →

Another building of later provenance where the work of the county is done. Another checkbox ticked off my list. I would love to take a year off and do the Challenge again, but spending a day caching in each county (or half a day in some of the smaller ones). I could spend some time … Continue reading 109.

I do know know when I expected when I got here, but it wasn't what I found here. Lamesa was this odd little intersection between weird and traditional, mundane and funky, and I'm still processing it a little bit. When I got here, there was a baseball game being broadcast through speakers invisibly set up … Continue reading 108. Lamesa, Dawson County →

Not much to photograph here in Gail so I might as well get to the cache. Happily enough, there happens to be one right here at the courthouse, the Coyote Hitching Post. Well, there's the hitching post at the GZ. I'll start looking it over for a small. There's not a lot of places where … Continue reading 107. Gail, Borden County →

This was kind of an interesting place architecturally, I thought. Clever little buttresses, a slightly progressive feel from the older time when it was built. I can't entirely explain it. You ever just find yourself drawn to something? I just like it. I can't entirely explain it, but I like it. Not entirely logical, but … Continue reading 106. Snyder, Scurry County →

It's a little bit embarrassing how little time I spent here in Colorado City. I mean, I usually don't schedule much time to do things while I'm in any county. When I'm trying to hit 15 or more in a day? Fuggedaboutit. I walk, I take my photos, I go. That's the long and short … Continue reading 105. Colorado City, Mitchell County →

Grab a cup of coffee. This one is going to take a while... OK, let's talk about this. I have no doubt you know what I'm talking about here. The namesake of this town was an officer who ran a post near here who was also a war hero. At least that's the official statement. … Continue reading 104. Robert Lee, Coke County →
