In January, I went to an Event. As a side quest, the CO published a Multi in the same parking lot. A lot of the attendees got it on that day. I already had a cache for the day (the Event), so I merely tagged along with someone going to sign it. I knew where … Continue reading Brass In Pocket →

I'm about to be alone here in Austin. A bunch of my friends are soon leaving for West Virginia, some taking more direct routes than others. I had been planning to go since last year, but, as we all know, real life interferes sometimes. I find it ironic that the only Giga I've ever been … Continue reading The Pied Piper’s Song →

Several days ago, I went for an FTF in a location I thought extremely inadvisable. A few days later, it was finally found by a cacher with under one hundred finds. Fair enough. On that same day, I went for another FTF. I noticed that a new cache had dropped at a church cemetery (there … Continue reading Losing My Touch? →

A few days ago, a new cache placed by a relatively new cacher dropped in Austin. This cacher hasn’t been caching long (they started this year) but has managed to pick up over a hundred finds in counties all the way out to Presidio and make a few hides as well. Good for them. As … Continue reading No! Bad Newbie! →

I took the long (for normal people) drive up to L-Town to see the girls this weekend. Unfortunately, there was no county action, but that doesn't mean caching wasn't done. I needed my daily cache, and where better to find one than in a fresher hunting ground than usual? Since my younger daughter is the … Continue reading It’s Not What You Know… →

Which times are these? The ones that try men's souls.So, I was looking for a daily cache as I am wont to do. I had a couple of hours between one thing and another, and I figured I could grab a quick cache, get some dinner, and then go about with my plans. My closest … Continue reading These Are The Times →

I know I present myself to you as this put-together, high-speed, low-drag cacher. That is a carefully crafted illusion (both that I am high speed, low drag and that I successfully present myself as such). In reality, I mess it all up with what I believe is great beauty and aplomb. Caching is sometimes a … Continue reading Making A Mess Of Things →

First, I broke it. I was invited to a friend's birthday party at his new house a couple of towns over from Austin in Elgin. That was no inconvenience; I sometimes drive to Elgin to grab my daily cache. Before I arrived at the party, I took a little time to pick up something from … Continue reading Fregi, Currerunt, Scripserunt →

A couple of days ago, I received a bunch of emails. They were mostly notifications of new caches—just over half a dozen. Most of them I merely glanced over with little thought; they were part of an annoying series placed by our most prolific (and annoying) hider, and I had little (if any) intention of … Continue reading Technical Difficulties? →

I didn't feel too great yesterday. It was all I could do to get out of the house and find my daily cache. If I had been bedbound or something similar, I probably would have claimed a challenge, but not being truly infirm, I dragged myself out and got a cache. I should thank my … Continue reading The Long and the Short of It →
