A slightly more respectable courthouse than the last one, I was minorly thrown. I had assumed, just as in Shreveport, that there would be more monuments. There weren't any here at all, questionable or otherwise. So I really had little to do but walk down the street to the closest cache. Down the street was … Continue reading 257.

The morning was cool with a light breeze and damp with drizzle when I pulled into the parking lot, across from a convenience store. I don't dislike the courthouse. It's a stylish, but perfectly serviceable building and I see nothing (based on its remote location) to make me think it had any competition in town. … Continue reading 256.

He had solved a 3.0/4.0 Unknown and we were going for it. … Continue reading Over The River And Through The Woods… →

The daily cache was acquired as you can see above. It's part of a national series, Cache Across America. There's fifty of them, one in each state, and a final that you can get if you have the appropriate codes from the appropriate caches. Even switched a couple of trackables, coincidentally, belonging to the same … Continue reading Counting Down →
