When I was really young, my grandparents brought me down to Bay City a few times. My grandmother had family in town so we would come to visit. I remember that it happened, but little else besides. To be fair, it's been over 35 years since the last time I was here so even remembering … Continue reading 78. Bay City, Matagorda County
77. Edna, Jackson County
This courthouse looks like a high school. Seriously. I can imagine a Dazed And Confused style romp taking place here in the early Eighties with everybody out on the lawn, evacuating the building after the last bell to the dulcet tones of Mr. Alice Cooper. One photographer even wrote of it "This modern building was … Continue reading 77. Edna, Jackson County
76. Port Lavaca, Calhoun County
Actually, it's more like Port Foggy-As-Heck, but I'm not going to quibble over names. After a night in a slightly over-expensive motel and some complications due to Daylight Savings beginning, I got to the courthouse on a foggy morning after making a foggy drive the night before. I haven't been a particular fan of coastal … Continue reading 76. Port Lavaca, Calhoun County
The 17th Annual Texas Challenge and Festival
I got to Seguin around 8AM and hit the Coliseum around 830. And the place was barely populated. I thought to myself "There's only about 40 people here. It starts in 30 minutes, where is everyone?" Turns out that everybody was there closer to 730 and all left to start the group event at 8. … Continue reading The 17th Annual Texas Challenge and Festival
So Endeth The Mega…
I came. I saw. I cached like there was no tomorrow (sort of). And after I went to another city, instead of writing about the day, I passed out. The next morning, I hurled myself into the fog and came out the other side with 12 new counties and a new set of reasons to … Continue reading So Endeth The Mega…
The Mega Approacheth…
So I've found a few caches over the last few weeks, but I haven't bothered talking about them much (other than this past Sunday, that is). Primarily, I've been filling the last week with a few side things to fill in the time to the Mega on Saturday in Seguin. I mention this because on … Continue reading The Mega Approacheth…
The Trouble With Trackables…
So I have run across a minorly frustrating thing about my trackables. See these four little buddies? One of them is in a hotel near the Texas/Louisiana border which is cool. Another was just picked up from a state park in Georgia which is awesome. One of them is in the hands of a friend … Continue reading The Trouble With Trackables…
An Excellent Sunday
Normally I would take this time to talk about the various caches I've picked up over the last few weeks (it has been three weeks since we in the same time frame [except, of course, for Friday's unplanned entry]). Yesterday I did some stuff, but today I had a lovely caching morning. It all started … Continue reading An Excellent Sunday
I Need More Sodium and Chlorine
Because I'm extra salty today!Remember I said there wasn't going to be an entry today? Well, apparently I lied! Why? Because I'm mad, that's why! So a couple of days ago, I had one of my finds logged and the finder said that he didn't sign it because it didn't have a log in it. … Continue reading I Need More Sodium and Chlorine
So… Lessons?
And now is the time to ask the eternal question again: what have we learned, Charlie Brown? First, and I never thought I would ever have to think about this, but CHECK YOUR BOUNDARIES!!! I'm still a little salty about San Diego. I get that I should have checked ahead of time. I knew how … Continue reading So… Lessons?
