So, I should probably start at the beginning. I’ve written about some of this before, so you can skip the next paragraph if it’s already familiar.There’s a challenge here in Texas called the I’ve Been Everywhere Challenge. Most of you have probably heard the Johnny Cash song (which is actually a cover of a Hank Snow song, … Continue reading As In The Days Of Blessed Memory →

Earlier this week, I was lucky enough to be interviewed by a journalism student from the University of Texas at Austin about geocaching and some of my related antics. I talked about some of the places I'd been and some of the best caches I'd seen over the years. Toward the end, she mentioned that, as part … Continue reading What Men Must Know →

So, I was out one afternoon, intent on getting a cache for the day. Sometimes, when I’ve got nothing pressing, I’ll pick a direction and just go for a while before grabbing a cache. Not only does this often take me outside my normal hunting grounds, which is useful when you’re keeping a streak (even … Continue reading Avenged! →

The girls were visiting from L-Town this weekend, so I took them out to work with me, grabbing some of those caches that are going away soon! We got to the park, found a spot near the first cache, and then went for a walk. It all began with an old-school Letterbox Hybrid. There were two stages, … Continue reading No Stone Unturned, No Tree Unclimbed →

Wednesday evening was a happy affair for a silly reason. I avenged an old DNF. The silly part was that it wasn't that hard of a cache. I knew exactly what it was, but I had gone back to look for it four different times over the last few years. I just couldn't find it, but I knew that … Continue reading A Tale Of Two Evenings →

Yesterday morning, a new cache dropped a few miles from home. I wouldn’t exactly call it within the mile-and-a-half-to-two-mile radius that I consider my backyard, but it was at a location that I pass fairly often on the way home from work. Cool, I thought. I’ll swing by before work, snag an FTF, and then … Continue reading Some Days Working Sucks! →

On Friday, I was waxing on about the past fading away and how it must eventually make way for the new. I failed to factor in one very important thing: I am a dumb@$$.  So, I went back and looked at the page for the cache that inspired me, and I noticed that the logs mentioned … Continue reading The Past Is Actually 250 Feet Away →

Yesterday I went for a cache at the edge of a park I had visited several times before. The cache is part of a series that features each cache placed at a cemetery that, at a minimum, exists in the state's paperwork. I walked along a running trail for a little bit and then popped off … Continue reading The Past Beneath Our Feet, The Future Ahead →

So, as we know, Magtfplanner spent the day in town. Since he makes a video every day about his exploits, he made one about our shenanigans in Austin! And just for the record, I can't stand the way I look or sound in videos. So, as much fun as I was having, I was slightly horribly dreading … Continue reading Here It Is 11: Cameras Are Not Kind To Me →

Remember how I mentioned it was cold in Austin? Well, it's gotten colder still. I have no doubt that the denizens of New Jersey, Michigan, and Montana are laughing at what we consider cold. But retain some empathy for us down here. When you're sweating out your entire body weight at ninety degrees every day of the summer, … Continue reading Iced Empathy →
