Saturday my daughters said they wanted to drive west. So we drove west. Of course, I needed to get a cache, not only because of streak (which I will get back to in a minute), but because of Big Blue Switch Day. And after driving for a while, I decided to make a thing of … Continue reading Journey To The West (Children’s Edition) →

More than a few bloggers, vloggers, and podcasters have noted that, with all the travel restrictions and state lockdowns, it's gotten harder to travel and, by extension, generate content. To some extent, it's to be expected. We can only really go so far in the name of "exercise." I myself have talked a little about … Continue reading It’s Getting Harder →

Another day, another cache. I'm still managing to maintain a streak (the above makes 682 days) even in the time of cholera. But, I had noticed something weird... I assume many of you use Project-GC (and if you don't, you should if you have any interest in stats, numbers, maps, or anything data related). Both … Continue reading Numbers →

Sure, I grabbed a couple of caches over the weekend. Yesterday I went to grab a lab cache, but the but the Texas State Cemetery was closed and locked up, probably because of the time of cholera. I would have jumped the fence but there was a small group day drinking on a patio across … Continue reading How Far We Have Gone →

Diametrically opposed to DNF Day is FTF Day. So here's the thing... I'm not an FTF chaser, but if a cache drops within a couple miles of home, odds are pretty good that I'm going to go for it, especially if I haven't gotten one that day. Add in that I'm working from home and … Continue reading FTF Day →

The parks are packed these days. Everyone is getting out to them to use them for exercise. It's really the only thing we're supposed to do so everybody is doing it. This, of course, creates the interesting problem that they may or may not be getting packed enough to become their own hot spots for … Continue reading Ecce Silva →

For those of you who have been following my exploits for all this time, you may have noticed that I have a specific publishing schedule: when I have new counties, I publish every weekday and when I don't, I publish on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Well, today's entry is, well, a bit of filler sort … Continue reading I Feel Like I’m Cheating →

…you never recover. Not now or any time soon. I just want to get in a car and drive. I might put Oklahoma on hold for a number of reasons. So maybe I’d go to Louisiana or Arkansas. I think I could do the entirety of New Mexico in three days (their craptastic speed limits … Continue reading The Road Is A Lover… →

Contrary to photographic evidence, Easter wasn't the greatest caching day. My daughters and I decided to get some air and exercise in a socially isolated fashion so we started heading out of town. Driving along Highway 71, we headed out about halfway to Llano, taking a few stops along the way. There's a series that … Continue reading DNF Day →

"...doesn't own a boat?" Hello? Have we met? I'm that guy. But, as fate would have it, I know people with boats, kayaks, and other forms of water transport. One of them, the one and only Carrot Killer, gave me a ring asking if I was interested in an FTF on Lake Travis. I thought … Continue reading “What Self Respecting Cacher…” →
