So, if I'm town bound, I run into lots of caches that aren't particularly interesting, though they serve their purpose.  Along with the Project, I'm also working on several other challenges, including one where I have to find one every day for a year (currently at 132/365) and another where I have to reach 500 … Continue reading Fishy Fishy Fish →

Over the weekend I went out caching with my daughters.  We started in West Austin near a veterinarian's office.  The gorilla across the street is completely unconnected, merely coincidental. We ended up finding a cache at a local drugstore famous for its old school lunch counter.  Of course, we stopped for a milkshake and a … Continue reading Weekend Caching →

This was an interesting one because of its location.  It's another in-town cemetery that the city has grown around.  What makes this of note (and it's difficult to encapsulate this in a photo) is that it exists in a middle ground between two apartment complexes.  This black fence is actually two fences, one connected to … Continue reading Cemeteries Are Everywhere →

I have not flown from county to county these last two weeks.  I have not added to the catalog of counties.  There is a certain amount of sadness for me in this.  It's liberating to hit the road and just go.  To have that driving add to a greater purpose brings even greater satisfaction.  But … Continue reading …And Yet It Does Not End. →

So, remember how it was raining off and on all over the place? Yes, that's my car.  For the record, this all happened about 2 weeks before this writing.  A rain burst hit while I was on the road and visibility dropped to a hundred yards.  I started slowing down and I spun out.  I … Continue reading Not Coleman County… →

So the rain kept coming down off and on as I came into town.  As I came into town, routing led me to a jail, not to the courthouse.  I stopped at a convenience store to get directions that were about two shades away from "go up the road a spell and turn where the … Continue reading 28.

It may be hard to tell, but there's a bit of a Native American theme to be found here... But these are not my favorite parts of this trip.  Want to hear a story? You see this tree and rock?  The ones right on the courthouse square?  Well, check this out...  So apparently the town's … Continue reading 27. Comanche, Comanche County →

Such an impressive courthouse for such a tiny town...  As I did my traditional walkaround (and bathroom stop, but that's a different issue all together, I was a little surprised that the building was even open.  It was a national holiday after all, but not exactly one of the big ones.  It also started raining … Continue reading 26.

So I took an early morning jaunt out of town to hit a bunch of counties.  I had some time off and decided to make a day of it, especially since a government holiday means no muggles around courthouses.  The first stop of the (early, EARLY) morning was Gatesville.  I hit here just after sunrise … Continue reading 25.

When I was in Gonzales, I intended to grab a Traditional and ended up grabbing a vVirtual.  When I got to Seguin I was going to grab a Virtual and ended up pulling up to the courthouse square next to a Traditional.  It was a small in a tree on the square, but at least … Continue reading 24.
