Fairly modern and nice looking. Those two things often don't go together when talking about a new courthouse, so kudos to Nolan County for nailing that one. Not much in the way of monuments here, but... I though they had one of these for the UNION and that kind of blew me away for a … Continue reading 117. Sweetwater, Nolan County →

At first I couldn't even be sure this was the place. There's nothing to distinguish it from any other generic civil building you might find in any other town. Well, other than the monuments you traditionally find at a courthouse. Heck... ...the jail behind the building looks more like a courthouse than the actual courthouse. … Continue reading 116.

...since I made a truly current post. But you don't think I'm not caching, do you? This is how I spent a day. Not the most amazing accomplishment, but it's mine and, hopefully, not the last...

Another odd little town square, which is strange because it was both out of the ordinary and wholesomely American at the same time. The square itself was less a square than it was a giant divider for the main street, with monuments and benches for the folks who want to sit a spell. And yet, … Continue reading 115.

Another tiny courthouse in another tiny town. Pulled in for a moment to get the photo and then turned right around to go get a cache. As fate would have it, there was TB hotel not that far away. As fate would also have it, it rained a bit the night before. Not enough that … Continue reading 114. Jayton, Kent County →

So, truth be told, the hotel room was "decent." The work they were doing in the middle of the night on one of the rooms didn't help. The wi-fi that literally only reached to my door but not inside the room was even more annoying. But I was up early, refreshed, recharged and ready to … Continue reading 113. Post, Garza County →

I managed to beat the dying of the light and this beautiful old lady awaited as my reward for a hard day of pushing myself. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to estimate how far I have driven today. As we can see, I couldn't get too close to this one. She … Continue reading 112. Tahoka, Lynn County →

Time was ticking down. I hadn't even noticed this before, but you can tell from the reflection in the courthouse window that the sun was getting low in the sky. I was running out of daylight and I needed to get it done before and done soon. There's always a cemetery. Welcome to the Brownfield … Continue reading 111. Brownfield, Terry County →

So here I was, in scenic Plains and what do I find at the Courthouse? Another of Quanah Parker's arrows. But not a cache. No, I'd have to get out of town for that (well, I didn't have to, but since I was going for high favorite caches, I kinda did)... So there's this bed … Continue reading 110. Plains, Yoakum County →

Another building of later provenance where the work of the county is done. Another checkbox ticked off my list. I would love to take a year off and do the Challenge again, but spending a day caching in each county (or half a day in some of the smaller ones). I could spend some time … Continue reading 109.
