So my mind wanders on occasion and now I'm thinking hard. I may or may not be thinking a bit above my weight here, but here goes... I'm planning on going to the 20th Anniversary Celebration and then Geowoodstock XVIII the week after. I hadn't decided if I was going to fly in and out … Continue reading August On My Mind →

Every state has a star geo-art. They require solving in myriad different ways, but Texas' is relatively easy and long ago solved by me. About a year and a half ago, I came out here a young and inexperienced cacher, stood under a 102 degree sun of summer with no hat, no water, and no … Continue reading The Texas Star: Part One →

My ability to cache has been severely limited the last few days. I hurt my knee so I've been wearing a brace. It turns sharp jets of pain into merely low level discomfort, but it seems to be working because I'm feeling better. So I'm sort of going out of town this weekend. It's time … Continue reading Weekend Plans →

I want to get back out on the road so BAD!!! I literally wish I could just take a four-day and get everything done that needs to be done!!! GAAAAH!!! Of course the big news on the block is the 20th Anniversary Celebration! What I find just as interesting is that they are randomly giving … Continue reading I’m Dying Over Here!!! →

We all spend our time looking for...something. That is the one thing that every geocacher (and pretty much every human) has in common. In our cases, it's direct: we are looking for cache after cache after cache. But if you're like me (and I think maybe you are [to some extent]), you have spent a … Continue reading Aspirations And Disappointments →

Thanksgiving is upon us! This is the time when we all travel to our families and ancestral homes to feast upon the fowl or ham or turducken (or Chinese food if that is how you roll). No doubt you will cache your way there as well. If you're traveling, you might as well, both for … Continue reading The Turkeys Will Have Their Day →

This weekend I attended a special event, dedicated to two longtime local cachers, Moosiegirl and The Outlaw. The occasion? Well, that book that Moosiegirl is signing is the log of the Texas County Challenge, the object of both my site and my obsession desire. They completed the Challenge this summer but, thanks to their job … Continue reading Hail The Conquering Heroes! →

This has, thus far, been a month of FTFs for me. Earlier this month I attended my first CITO. There have been ones in the past, but I just was never able to attend. But it finally happened. One of the attendees was kind enough to hide some caches and arrange for them to drop … Continue reading FTF! →

Ladies and gentlemen (or however you identify—I don't mean to be gender assumptive), consider that the Texas Challenge is in a few months (four as of this writing). A big part of it, the "Challenge" part of it, is the competitive portion of it. Teams made up of regions of Texas along with an "out … Continue reading A Complete And Total Partisan Hack →

This weekend I spent some time in the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve. There are a few old virtuals and an earthcache in the Preserve, only one of which I had previously claimed. Well, I thought, it was high time I did something about it. So I took a hike. As I walked its trails, I … Continue reading Into The Basin →
