From time to time, we are known to gather for stuff and things (and, on occasion, things and stuff). We never need a reason to have an Event. Yesterday, however, we had a pretty good reason to have one. We heralded the visit of an old friend from the area (whom I’d actually never met) … Continue reading From Brisbanian Shores →

I celebrated April Fools’ Day by getting an early-month FTF. When I got the notification, I immediately recognized that it was in a part of town with more money and therefore fewer caches. I thought for a bit about whether I really wanted to get involved with that but decided that getting an FTF before … Continue reading The Return Of A Bridge →

Some days, I feel like I've done it all when it comes to caching. I've been to Mingo. I've done the Trifecta (HQ, the APE Cache, and the Stash Plaque). I've done some famous caches and been to some famous Megas. As of a couple of weekends ago, I've gotten every icon. I've done quite … Continue reading Worlds Left to Conquer →

I've picked up a few souvenirs in the last couple of weeks. I got one for the Mega and Season 1 for the following CITO. I picked up Pi Day. And I didn't even have any pie, which seems like a travesty. But the moment has passed, so I should probably stop thinking about it … Continue reading Among My Souvenirs →

The girls and I made it home just fine. From there, we returned to our regular lives. I can only speak for myself, but I often feel a little depressed after a Mega. It was a lot of fun, as the Geocaching Vlogger so ably recorded for public consumption (and please disregard my fat butt, … Continue reading The Inevitable Comedown →

Once again, as we have so many times in the past, we, the finishers of the Texas County Challenge (along with anyone who wished to partake with us), gathered to remember our feats and induct new members into our sacred band. Adorned in our traditional blue shirts (though I also saw a pink one), we … Continue reading The 12th Annual TCC Finishers Reunion and the Aftermath →

Once again, as we have for so many years, we all gathered in our various panoplies, ready to face off against one another for the honor of taking home the Golden Ammo Can. Once again, I opted not to captain the team this year. I could not be an effective captain and a good steward … Continue reading The 23rd Annual Texas Challenge and Festival →

The girls and I got up early to go on with our day. The original plan was to hit some more southwesterly counties and then finish with our other must-stop location of the trip, but plans had to change a little because my body betrayed me. Something was going on in here, and I didn't … Continue reading The Day Before… →

The girls and I left before sunrise on Thursday morning. We pointed south and kept going for a while, turning a little bit east by San Marcos. Unexpectedly thick fog slowed our progress. The rising sun made the drive less nerve-racking even though visibility was still bad. Our first stop was exactly where you want … Continue reading We Went On a Drive Toward… →

So the girls and I were driving out of Rockport when I saw the top of a large building a couple of blocks over from the highway. It didn't have a cross on top, so it wasn't a church. I wasn't aware of any colleges there and didn't think the town was large enough for … Continue reading Courthouse Senses! →
