When it comes to sartorial issues, I am a vain man. On more than a few occasions, I have mentioned caching in more formal wear than one might expect or lamented the toll that caching has taken on my everyday clothing. So when the opportunity came to "cache in [my] pajamas," I scoffed at the … Continue reading Pajamas? Have You Met Me? →

Recently, a cacher has been adding caches along the walking trails of Town Lake, meaning that he has begun a subtle takeover of downtown. I’ve found or DNF’d a few of his new ones, so why not attempt another one. That is how I ended up on a bouncy bridge in the middle of town. … Continue reading The Bridge (But No Tunnel) Crowd →

Saturday evening, I went to an Event a little outside of Austin. I drove out to the tiny town of Coupland (after a visit to Taylor for reasons) to Coupland Dancehall. About a dozen of us showed up for some food, drink (I, uncharacteristically, had a cider), and some sound checks for the show later … Continue reading Take It Easy →

I needed to pick a Virtual to complete my collection of egg-based digital doodads. I had long since gotten all the Virtual caches in Austin, so I needed to go a little farther afield for one. Some were more preferred than others. The one at the old Confederate campground, though the closest, was right out … Continue reading Death Had A Brush With Me! →

I continued on my quest for all the digital doodads. Though a selective collector, I am still predisposed toward "getting them all," no matter what "them" happens to be. And don't say this surprises you. Why do you think I'm collecting counties? A better question is, Why am I less concerned with souvenirs than I … Continue reading Hyperlocal Knowledge →

On Friday, I was sweating. The sun was on full display, pressing down in a show hinting that, though spring had only recently arrived, summer was coming and that right soon. I had parked in Austin's most popular park to take a walk. A couple of days before, I had gotten the first of the … Continue reading Treasure Hunting →

From time to time, we are known to gather for stuff and things (and, on occasion, things and stuff). We never need a reason to have an Event. Yesterday, however, we had a pretty good reason to have one. We heralded the visit of an old friend from the area (whom I’d actually never met) … Continue reading From Brisbanian Shores →

I celebrated April Fools’ Day by getting an early-month FTF. When I got the notification, I immediately recognized that it was in a part of town with more money and therefore fewer caches. I thought for a bit about whether I really wanted to get involved with that but decided that getting an FTF before … Continue reading The Return Of A Bridge →

Some days, I feel like I've done it all when it comes to caching. I've been to Mingo. I've done the Trifecta (HQ, the APE Cache, and the Stash Plaque). I've done some famous caches and been to some famous Megas. As of a couple of weekends ago, I've gotten every icon. I've done quite … Continue reading Worlds Left to Conquer →

I've picked up a few souvenirs in the last couple of weeks. I got one for the Mega and Season 1 for the following CITO. I picked up Pi Day. And I didn't even have any pie, which seems like a travesty. But the moment has passed, so I should probably stop thinking about it … Continue reading Among My Souvenirs →
