The last of my traditional waypoints, Fort Stockton is about a hundred miles from anywhere else (well, actually, it's 60 miles from Alpine, but that's a different story). To it's credit, it's right on I-10, so at least that hundred miles is really fast. The Pecos County Courthouse caught my eye for reasons I cannot … Continue reading 47. Fort Stockton, Pecos County →

Who's this county named for? What do John Wayne and Billy Bob Thornton have in common? This guy. I'm not going to say David here is the best thing to come out of Tennessee, but I'll allow him on the short list along with Beale Street and Sun Records. Whether you believe he killed him … Continue reading 46. Ozona, Crockett County →

This one was actually an audible. It occurred to me that at some point I was going to have to hit San Angelo and it would probably be much easier to hit and run if I secured my flank or some kind of military metaphor like that. If I did this county, I would be … Continue reading 45. Eldorado, Schleicher County →

I've actually been to Sonora a number of times. It's been one of the waypoints on my trips to Marfa (specifically Fredericksburg, Sonora, Fort Stockton), a great place to stop for gas or food at the halfway point. It's also amazingly small with little seemingly to its credit other than the fact that it's sitting … Continue reading 44. Sonora, Sutton County →

The Doctor lies. Well, sort of... It wasn't exactly a lie. It was more a strategic change of plan. To sum up, I was renting a car for this trip. For other reasons, I also had to rent a car for Saturday. I asked the rental company how much it would be to just keep … Continue reading You Should Know This About The Doctor… →

When you're reading this, I will be preparing for a trip down south to Corpus Christi. I know I've announced this particular one a while back and it didn't happen, but I'm setting out tomorrow morning for a one day trip down and back. I'm looking forward to it but I'm also realizing that I'm … Continue reading Pre-Gaming →

You see this cap? This is all that remains (or rather remained) of one of the oldest caches in Travis County. This was unfortunate not just because it is one of the oldest caches in Travis County, but also because it was the cache I decided to go grab today for my 600th. I'd been … Continue reading Oh, What Providence! →

So my older daughter brought a bear ring that she wanted to turn into a trackable. It's not as robust as I might have hoped, but it's what she wants to use so, consarn it, we're going to use it! But that's not what I want to talk about... So I've been working on a … Continue reading Another Project Continues →

So, my younger daughter now has her own trackable! I promised one to each of my daughters and my older daughter forgot hers so it'll have to wait for another day. In the meantime, you can follow Kirby on his adventures! Well, not quite yet. Had everything gone correctly, when this got published I would … Continue reading They Don’t Get It… →

Soon this year will be over. As of this writing, I have been caching for 199 days and I'm am on day 197 of a streak. I have made 7 hides and found 593 caches, including 8 first to finds, 24 trackables, and 236 caches in 42 counties that are not my own, traveling over … Continue reading This Year Ends… →
