Yesterday afternoon, I went for an FTF in south central Austin. I didn't find it, which is fine because I didn't like it. The CO, who has fewer than fifty finds, placed it outside a private residence that was chosen because of a waterfall mural painted on the side. While they mentioned that it wasn't … Continue reading In The Paint →

Saturday morning began in La Grange with the girls in tow. They were visiting Austin for the long Labor Day weekend, so we took a day to continue our project. We arrived to find thoroughly unexpected muggle activity! Unbeknownst to us, Saturday morning was also a county fair day, so chairs full of muggles and … Continue reading Thalassa →

I was parked on the side of a road, walking along the back of a guardrail. Rush hour hadn't begun, so the road was relatively quiet, but there were still clumps of cars and trucks passing from time to time. And, from time to time, one of the passing muggles, seeing me out there on … Continue reading Where Do I Begin? →

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 →
