You see this cap? This is all that remains (or rather remained) of one of the oldest caches in Travis County. This was unfortunate not just because it is one of the oldest caches in Travis County, but also because it was the cache I decided to go grab today for my 600th. I'd been … Continue reading Oh, What Providence! →

So my older daughter brought a bear ring that she wanted to turn into a trackable. It's not as robust as I might have hoped, but it's what she wants to use so, consarn it, we're going to use it! But that's not what I want to talk about... So I've been working on a … Continue reading Another Project Continues →

So, my younger daughter now has her own trackable! I promised one to each of my daughters and my older daughter forgot hers so it'll have to wait for another day. In the meantime, you can follow Kirby on his adventures! Well, not quite yet. Had everything gone correctly, when this got published I would … Continue reading They Don’t Get It… →

Soon this year will be over. As of this writing, I have been caching for 199 days and I'm am on day 197 of a streak. I have made 7 hides and found 593 caches, including 8 first to finds, 24 trackables, and 236 caches in 42 counties that are not my own, traveling over … Continue reading This Year Ends… →

A few days ago I went out to grab some caches outside of town. I decided to double my fun by hitting a bunch of cemeteries, a couple of which have been on my radar for a while. The first one was easy-ish. A cemetery attached to a church but it occurred to me as … Continue reading DNF x6 →

So I spent a day finding coordinates for a multi I've been working on. I originally envisioned an involved multi for beginners because every multi seems to be either incredibly simple or incredibly hard. Each waypoint is a bit different and something a beginning cacher can handle. However, as it kept unfolding, I realized two … Continue reading Location Scouting →

So remember I mentioned doing a Secret Santa thing? Well, I got a package in the mail from Virginia! A little hiding kit of my own! The travel bugs were somewhat expected. I'm sure they're flying around like nobody's business. The magnetic nut cap is a cool little thing and the Bison is nice, especially … Continue reading I Got A Package! →

A few days ago I went on a little hike. There's a challenge cache here called the Completely Kosher Cacher Challenge. I actually completed it about three weeks before with a caching buddy but I only got around to going to get it now-ish. I made ultimately two mistakes: 1) I forgot to bring my … Continue reading Challenge Accepted… →

So I signed up for a small geocaching based Secret Santa thing.  Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of free cash (my kids and and family and presents and such).  But you know what?  One of the best things about geocaching is that it's as expensive or as inexpensive as you want it to be.  … Continue reading ‘Tis The Season →

In the second entry of what seems to be turning into the Bridges of Travis County series, today I found a cache here at the Larry Monroe Forever Bridge.  For those of you who are not from here, Larry Monroe was a long time radio DJ here in Austin well known for his his programs … Continue reading …But We Have The Music →
