A few days ago I went out to grab some caches outside of town. I decided to double my fun by hitting a bunch of cemeteries, a couple of which have been on my radar for a while. The first one was easy-ish. A cemetery attached to a church but it occurred to me as … Continue reading DNF x6 →

So I spent a day finding coordinates for a multi I've been working on. I originally envisioned an involved multi for beginners because every multi seems to be either incredibly simple or incredibly hard. Each waypoint is a bit different and something a beginning cacher can handle. However, as it kept unfolding, I realized two … Continue reading Location Scouting →

So remember I mentioned doing a Secret Santa thing? Well, I got a package in the mail from Virginia! A little hiding kit of my own! The travel bugs were somewhat expected. I'm sure they're flying around like nobody's business. The magnetic nut cap is a cool little thing and the Bison is nice, especially … Continue reading I Got A Package! →

A few days ago I went on a little hike. There's a challenge cache here called the Completely Kosher Cacher Challenge. I actually completed it about three weeks before with a caching buddy but I only got around to going to get it now-ish. I made ultimately two mistakes: 1) I forgot to bring my … Continue reading Challenge Accepted… →

So I signed up for a small geocaching based Secret Santa thing.  Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of free cash (my kids and and family and presents and such).  But you know what?  One of the best things about geocaching is that it's as expensive or as inexpensive as you want it to be.  … Continue reading ‘Tis The Season →

In the second entry of what seems to be turning into the Bridges of Travis County series, today I found a cache here at the Larry Monroe Forever Bridge.  For those of you who are not from here, Larry Monroe was a long time radio DJ here in Austin well known for his his programs … Continue reading …But We Have The Music →

So remember that deer embossed leather book?  So I go into the appropriate building and give the nice lady at the information desk the appropriate phrase.  She says "Nobody has said that in a very long time!  Wait here!" She made a call and then hung up the phone.  "It turns out that it's been … Continue reading The Plot Thickens… →

Or some kind of crap like that? I haven’t looked at many cities in a caching capacity (well, OK, I’ve looked at London and Istanbul because a man can dream, right?), but in Austin, I’ve noticed that some areas are devoid of caches of any kind.  West Austin (a traditionally wealthy area) and the surrounding neighborhoods are … Continue reading Socioeconomics? →

So, thanks to a birthday party, a spontaneous playdate, an unexpected sleepover, and the inconvenient kindness of people who love me, I was in danger of not getting a cache today (actually, as of the time of publishing, a few days ago, but that's neither here nor there).  Accordingly, I ended up setting out really … Continue reading Unintentional Night Caching →

...is a joy forever.  So, there is a series of mystery caches in downtown Austin.  I solved the first one and it led to a place where there used to be a bunch of newspaper kiosks that are there no longer.  I reached out to the cache owner who was kind enough to tell me … Continue reading A Thing Of Beauty… →
