I mean, of course I've made mistakes. I should have gotten San Diego and Albuquerque right the first time. The entire debacle of Arizona wouldn't have happened if I didn't make mistakes. I make mistakes all the time. But I've been wondering about how I approach travel and finding new counties, and it's got me … Continue reading I Wonder If I’ve Made Mistakes →

The girls were in Austin for the long weekend. We did a lot of hanging around together, caught a movie, and, of course, grabbed some caches. One was well out of town on some remote back roads that actually weren’t as remote as I thought they were, near a cemetery cache that wasn’t actually in … Continue reading Non Notiones Callidae* →

Look back through the mists of time to the heady days of 2018. Geocaching was a new and magical thing for me, the latest obsession in the life of a man with many hobbies (if you ever see me in person, ask me about my fifteen thousand points of Space Marines). As new cachers are … Continue reading See As Janus Sees →

The days leading into summer bode not well. Austin weather trends suggest it's going to be a brutal summer. Last year, 2024, was considered mild in that there were only thirty-two days over one hundred degrees all year, while 2023 had eighty days. Projections for this year aren't looking great, but nobody is forecasting any … Continue reading Calling Thirsty Equines →

In January, I went to an Event. As a side quest, the CO published a Multi in the same parking lot. A lot of the attendees got it on that day. I already had a cache for the day (the Event), so I merely tagged along with someone going to sign it. I knew where … Continue reading Brass In Pocket →

I'm about to be alone here in Austin. A bunch of my friends are soon leaving for West Virginia, some taking more direct routes than others. I had been planning to go since last year, but, as we all know, real life interferes sometimes. I find it ironic that the only Giga I've ever been … Continue reading The Pied Piper’s Song →

Several days ago, I went for an FTF in a location I thought extremely inadvisable. A few days later, it was finally found by a cacher with under one hundred finds. Fair enough. On that same day, I went for another FTF. I noticed that a new cache had dropped at a church cemetery (there … Continue reading Losing My Touch? →

A few days ago, a new cache placed by a relatively new cacher dropped in Austin. This cacher hasn’t been caching long (they started this year) but has managed to pick up over a hundred finds in counties all the way out to Presidio and make a few hides as well. Good for them. As … Continue reading No! Bad Newbie! →

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 →
