So I got my daily cache. It was an out of the way cemetery not far from where my daughters are having a camp out tonight. Some pretty old ones out here. And some of them were quite lovely... I wish I had taken a photo of the one that looked like a bust with … Continue reading Today’s Cemetery/Pre-Gaming →

So I spent last post enumerating the flaws of geocaching.  But what's the point of making complaints if you can't/don't offer solutions?  Problem is that I can't do anything about the economy.  Can't do anything about the fickle nature of people, either.  And, until I have the power, reach, and wealth of Google, BookFace, and Amazon, … Continue reading Is Geocaching Dying? Part 2 →

So somebody asked me to talk about whether or not geocaching is dying.  People who have crunched numbers are finding that there are fewer active cachers at least in North America and Australia.  Well, I haven't been doing this as long as some people (only three months), but I've got a few ideas about it. … Continue reading Is Geocaching Dying? Part 1 →

So I hit my daily cache.  I usually feel a bit of a poignant sadness whenever I visit a black cemetery.  When I was in Kansas City last year for the total eclipse, I visited a cemetery.  The Washington cemetery was beautifully maintained and filled with the most amazing tombstones.  The Lincoln cemetery, on the … Continue reading My Day’s Cemetery Cache →

Yep.  I'm totally hardcore over here...

I have a few things I'm working on currently.  Several are at least partially overlapping so that makes things a bit easier, no? So, first and foremost, there is my stated goal, the point of all this documentation, The Texas County Challenge.  I know this is a big one.  Two hundred fifty-four counties, of which I … Continue reading Current and Near Future Projects →

This isn't what I intended to talk about but it's the stupid, stupid thing that's on my mind... So, as I was hitting my cache for the day, sky water falling upon me and the earth, I found myself thinking about how much of a pain in the butt dealing with the elements are.  Now … Continue reading The Damned Weather! →

So this is less about Burnet than it is a trip summary.  Quite honestly, I didn't get enough time in Burnet to really get a feel for it or the people.  It also didn't seem to have a lot of interesting stuff, either.  I could be wrong but meh. So yes, it was a nice … Continue reading Burnet II (Electric Boogaloo) →

The Burnet County courthouse was built during the WPA period from the same pink granite that the State Capitol was constructed from. Normally I'd take this opportunity to talk more about the building and look at its monuments (and its probable Confederate monument [there IS one dedicated to a Confederate general {thank you, internet}]), but … Continue reading 5. Burnet, Burnet County →

Llano is a sleepy little town.  That pretty much sums it up.  It was a bit annoying that everything was closed, but I guess that's to be expected on a Sunday morning.  Even the town coffee shop was closed.  That happens?  I have to remind myself that in small town America, it does. I will … Continue reading Llano II (Electric Boogaloo) →
