Yesterday, I was looking to grab some dinner and a cache. Grabbing a cache often involves a little more driving nowadays than it used to. I have long since gotten all the low-hanging fruit in Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, and Georgetown, so I either have to go for something more difficult or go out to … Continue reading Did I Do That? →

Saturday was the sixth anniversary of this site. No matter how many times I say it, I’m still floored that anyone reads the drivel I post. It blows my mind that things are still chugging along and that there’s still something to say after all this time. That said, of course there are still things … Continue reading A Sixth Year Gone By →

Today was not the kind of day that I like to go out. It was over one hundred degrees, and the last thing I wanted to do was leave the air-conditioned comfort of a building or a vehicle. But when one needs a cache, one needs a cache. Besides (full disclosure), I haven't been feeling … Continue reading A Tag’s Serendipity →

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, Cache Nine Thousand was coming up for me. Though I didn't have special plans for it, I didn't want to make it some random LPC or something, either. After a little bit of thought, I remembered the perfect cache. A nearby Virtual was recently placed (and by … Continue reading Finds And Misdemeanors →

It was a little unnatural for me to be in a parking lot at 5:00 on a Saturday morning, not because of the hour (though not not because of the hour), but because I am usually on my way somewhere else. Many of my road trips begin in the middle of the night, bound for … Continue reading Return To The Scene Of The Climb →

I know you all read this for the hot, sweet geocaching action, but something tangential has been on my mind for a bit. And that tangent regards the medium from which you're getting the action. I also realize that a little of my ego will be showing. I don't mean to sound egotistical, and if … Continue reading Medium Musings & Meta Moans →

Saturday morning, the girls and I mounted up and headed west, my caching daughter in the front seat and my muggle daughter in the back. We have a lot of counties to get if my daughter is going to complete the Texas County Challenge and Texas Two Step. Since they live in Longview, we're making … Continue reading To The Edge And Beyond →

I took a drive to visit the girls in Longview but had to take a detour on the way, and by "detour," I mean bypass. I performed a minor mitzvah for a friend, carpooling her to see some family in the area. I took one step beyond my usual stopping point in Gregg County to … Continue reading In The Pines, In The Pines →

He's every-BLANKin’-where!Yesterday, my daily cache was in Kyle, another of the surrounding towns, this one to the south. Kyle occupies a weird niche for me. It's close enough that I'm willing to go if I have to, but it's far enough away that I don't want to if I don't have to. Part of that … Continue reading He’s Here! He’s There! →

Full disclosure: no Panamanian canals have been involved in my recent activities.I did not plan my activity yesterday. I came to regret it. I just figured that I'd take a quick jaunt out toward Leander (another town surrounding Austin) for my daily cache. That took forever. I first went for one in the rock wall … Continue reading A Man, A Plan… →
