Yesterday, I got off work (as I do most weekdays) and needed a cache for the day. As you can imagine, after caching for 2,349 days in a row, I've found most of the low-hanging fruit in this county, and it's not uncommon for me to pop over to a neighboring one if I've got … Continue reading Who Am I Kidding? →

A couple of days ago, a bunch of related caches (not a series) dropped, placed by our resident difficult hider and his acolytes, all of whom have been featured on these pages before.  As was to be expected, they were all high difficulty, several being high terrain.  Well, all but one.  A single cache out … Continue reading Gut Punch! →

My last few days (from a caching perspective) have been defined by needs for maintenance. A few days ago, that lovely couple visiting from Canada DNF'd a cache of mine. The last person who went for it a month before also DNF'd it, but they only had half a dozen finds, so I just assumed … Continue reading All My Dreams Torn Asunder →

The other is gold (as they say in the Girl Scout songbook).Last night, I went to a recurring Event based around sweet treats of various types. Our host decided to have one more this year before the weather started to get cold, which was probably a good decision since it's starting to turn cool, bordering … Continue reading One Is Silver →

Yesterday, I went for my daily cache in a suburb I have visited a few times for such purposes. I pulled up to its pool complex, a location familiar to me. A couple of years ago, I found another cache there, one of the older ones in the area, a clever combination locked box that … Continue reading The Cat Came Back →

I was back in East Texas this weekend, which meant carting the girls around to some more counties. This time, however, we had an unexpected guest with us. The girls' aunt accompanied us for the day. She had long known about geocaching from me and my older daughter. She and some friends even accidentally stumbled … Continue reading Two Cachers, Two Muggles →

A couple of days ago, I went for a solved Mystery cache but couldn’t find it.  It was sad losing time searching like that, but it was no huge deal.  I merely went up the highway to a different solved Mystery.  I was a little worried about that one since the last person to attempt … Continue reading About The Weather →

I went to get my cache for the day at a higher education campus in Round Rock. Having a site that serves as a satellite campus for three different colleges is a clever idea, but that's beside the point. I parked by a pond and sauntered over to a water pump built by the family … Continue reading This Looks Like A Job For… →

Yesterday, I went for my daily cache, a fairly new one near a factory, a so-called Gigafactory for electric vehicle components. Ground zero was along the side of the road leading into a local toll road. I am philosophically opposed to toll roads, but I tend to keep my resistance to them local. When I'm … Continue reading Not The Giga You Think It Is →

So, remember a couple of days ago when I said I would go to that other cemetery for that new cache?  Well, that didn’t happen as stated.  That night, a new cache dropped about a mile from home.  I was already in my pajamas and slippers, so I had no intention of going out to … Continue reading Liar, Liar, Pants, FTF →
