There are a lot of trees surrounding this courthouse. So many that this was about the best photo I could get. If I ever needed a selfie stick or some equivalent, this was the time. The dome was quite interesting. But I've also begun to notice that the buildings are starting to run together a … Continue reading 63. Alice, Jim Wells County →

Driving was beginning to get to me a little bit. I really enjoy it, but it can get a little tiresome after a bit. A good stretch took care of it this time, but I could feel it beginning to have an effect on me. On the other hand, it had stopped raining by this … Continue reading 62.

Somehow I imagine Matt Houston strolling out of here with a cute female attorney after having gotten their innocent client off from a murder charge. Or maybe Joe Friday strolling into it, silently judging all this "modern" architecture. But I was happy to get my 70's/80's on for a little bit. I was a little … Continue reading 61.

You have to understand something about me. I am, along with all my other flaws, a terribly judgmental man. My one saving grace in that regard is that, because I keep judging, one bad judgment is not the end, because I believe that one bad moment, except in the most egregious cases, should not define … Continue reading 60.

Only one week left until I appear on Geocache Talk!  I'll be talking with them about some of my encounters with both muggles and law enforcement, some of my favorite caches, and whatever else comes to mind! If you've never seem them before, check out their channel on YouTube or maybe or listen to their podcast. But definitely … Continue reading One Week, Counting Down →

Heading into town, I noticed there were a few caches on the road on the way so I stopped at an unpopulated trackable hotel in a tree. I even left a little buddy to reside for a while. Then I headed into town to the courthouse. One big thing you notice in this part of … Continue reading 59. Refugio, Refugio County →

Goliad is famous for two things: a famous massacre during the Texas Revolution and the hanging tree on its courthouse square. It also has a town square right out of the Texas Town Starter Kit. This isn't the first town square tableau I've seen and it won't be the last, but something struck me as … Continue reading 58. Goliad, Goliad County →

Not the most imaginative name, but that's alright. Beeville is a bit bigger than anything else in the area so it was the right place to spend the night. Nice little motel, a few entries knocked out, some pathing research and dinner, then to bed at a reasonable hour. I considered going out to enjoy … Continue reading 57. Beeville, Bee County →

Rolling down the highway, I looked over to the left and towering out of the woods was the courthouse. I've mentioned it before, but there's something I really like about courthouses that tower over an area. So I followed the looming building until I was at its foot. It's not the most interesting courthouse, though. … Continue reading 56. Karnes City, Karnes County →

The kids were with their grandparents. The tank was gassed up. The afternoon still had daylight. I had been debating for a while which direction I would go. I thought about heading to Del Rio and completely avoiding rain, but I also realized if I went that way, I'd want to go across to Ciudad … Continue reading 55. Floresville, Wilson County →
