The TXGA puts on two events every year. The more well known one is, of course, the venerable Mega-Event Texas Challenge (the 24th Challenge will be in Taylor TX on March 14th 2026 #blatantplug). The less well known of the two is the yearly Texas Roundup. Long ago some folks were turned off by the … Continue reading Lone Star Roundup 2025 →

Yesterday, I found a cache in a location I had been before. Many, many moons ago, I found a cache near downtown at an office for a disability advocacy group. I'm sure that if I looked back through the archives, I could find the entry with a photo of a giant wheelchair out front. I … Continue reading Keep On Going →

Yesterday I had to go run an errand after work.  I found out after I got there that I didn’t need to go, so I headed home because, well, I like home sometimes.  But I was already out on the other side of town in South Austin, so I thought it was a good time … Continue reading The Healing Ecosystem →

The Girls and I mounted up in the car early-ish and began driving north and then west. We had a mind to get at least five new counties for their (though actually just the older daughter; the younger one confirmed she's just doing stuff because she's along for the ride) project. Our first target was … Continue reading Our Comedy And Errors →

Yesterday, a new cache dropped five minutes away from where I work. When I got off, I shot right over and began a search in earnest. Unfortunately, I didn't find it. Not only is it difficult to find something magnetic when you're surrounded by lots of iron, but my search was stymied by bouncing coords … Continue reading Some Loss, Some Drudgery, Some Expectation →

I'm not a fan of Depeche Mode either, but that's a completely different issue altogether.When I went up to Temple a few days ago, I found myself accidentally rolling up to a cache that I had failed to find before and would have bypassed if I had realized which one it was. A similar thing … Continue reading I Do Not Countenance Erasure →

True to my word, Saturday I ran up to Temple to go grab a few caches. I had originally intended to get up early and make a day of it, but early mornings are not always my jams at the best of times, much less on a weekend in less there's a really compelling interest … Continue reading Entropy Sounds Ominous →

Yesterday, I went for my daily cache and one of the little gnomish freaks snuck up on me! Grrr!!! You have to remain ever vigilant lest they ruin you and all you love! Besides, I can only shake my fist at the heavens so much in defiance of gnomish indignity!The next thing major thing looming … Continue reading Just When You Least Expect It →

No, I'm not talking about the band. I'm talking about International Postcard Day! And, of course, a dozen of us celebrated it down here with an Event! To be entirely honest, I'm not entirely sure if it was on the day because there's another one being put on by different folks today in Bryan of … Continue reading The Postal Service →

So I was in L-Town visiting the Girls. I remembered from before that one of my Jasmer holes was in nearby Tyler and I decided to drag them out to go grab it. That didn't happen, though. It's hard to engage a plan when other people are involved when they don't know there's a plan … Continue reading Something I Did →
