Yesterday, while I was considering what cache to find for the day, I remembered I had wanted to go for one last week but opted not to because it was raining. The funny thing about Texas weather is that it can change vastly over a short period. While last week was wet and cold, the … Continue reading Turtle In, Rabbit Out

Nota Bene, Everybody
Yesterday, I found a cache that's been eluding me for a long time. The hider, who is notorious for not providing hints, left a hint in the logs that was more than enough to make it findable. The container, however, gave me pause. I've seen lots of shotgun shells used for hides (I've used them … Continue reading Nota Bene, Everybody
I Don’t Begin To Know Cold
Texas has been experiencing a serious cold snap for the last few days, resulting in below-freezing temperatures for the last few nights. I already know for a fact that those of you in Denver, Omaha, and Boston are laughing your butts off at how precious that sounds coming out of my mouth (or pen, as … Continue reading I Don’t Begin To Know Cold
Easy As Pie?
Yesterday, I was looking at the map and trying to decide on my daily cache. I was looking at a part of town I rarely find myself in when I noticed a large cache that I hadn't found before, located in a forested patch near a big-box home-improvement store. I thought it would be a … Continue reading Easy As Pie?
Sleeping On Events
Saturday morning, I intended to attend an Event held by a representative of the upcoming GeoWoodstock XXI. Unfortunately, I overslept and completely missed it. I am not renowned for being a morning person to begin with (unless a trip is involved—usually), but real life was total chaos for a couple of days, so I probably … Continue reading Sleeping On Events
It’s Dead, Jim
No, Dr. McCoy never actually said those specific words, but the sentiment is real. Yesterday, after just over six years, I archived the third cache I ever placed. It was my most found cache. A nice, simple beginner find. There are actually two reasons I archived it. First, it is on the other side of … Continue reading It’s Dead, Jim
We Loved It!
A couple of days ago, I went to an Event. Not just any Event, mind you. When a Lackey visits, of course I'm going to have a beverage with them! When a bunch of Lackeys visit? Even more so! When the Event was published last month, I was intrigued to see an unfamiliar name as … Continue reading We Loved It!
Off The Proverbial Chain!
It was another average weekend doing the thing we all love to do. Yesterday, I drove out to the neighboring town of Cedar Park to find a plastic jar hidden under a rock. That's pretty hardcore, right? All right, maybe not. Around the same time, I received a notice that someone had DNF'd a cache … Continue reading Off The Proverbial Chain!
Change The Conversation
Since all I could do last time was complain about something I had done a thousand times before, I decided to start working on something completely new and different (for me)! While looking for a cache that wasn't there a while back, I stumbled across something I had never encountered before: the word riparian in … Continue reading Change The Conversation
Arboreal Ennui
I have a confession to make. It may be controversial, and you may want to stone me afterward, but I feel I have to say it.I have grown tired of micros in trees.I know you are already lighting the torches and sharpening the pitchforks, but bear with me for a moment. If you remove the … Continue reading Arboreal Ennui
