A couple of days ago, I picked up the first little library cache I've seen in a long time. It's not that they're especially rare or anything. It's just that they're usually pretty simple and I've picked up pretty much all the low hanging fruit around here. Ironically, there's a series here of pole hides … Continue reading I Need What I’ve Been Missing →

The Girls were still here for Labor Day so we decided to go for a little drive south to nearby Buda. Just as Pflugerville has effectively become north Austin, Buda is the southern equivalent (though an argument can be made for that being Kyle, but that's neither here nor there). We decided to go after … Continue reading Working Hard? Hardly Working! →

Saturday afternoon, the Girls and I were doing our thing around the house (in this case, a whole lot of nothing) when I just happened to check my emails as I am wont to do from time to time. I noticed that a new cache had just published an hour before up north in the … Continue reading Missed It By That Much! →

Wednesday night I attended an event at an outdoor brewhouse/restaurant. Our host was none other than FTFGuy, publisher of FTF Magazine. A good time was had by all. We introduced one of the employees to geocaching by pointing him to a cache outside the venue. I met some muggles belonging to cachers. But that wasn't … Continue reading A Different Kind Of Graveyard →

Monday was another Event that I couldn't miss. It was held at a restaurant that the Girls and I have frequented on many occasions (we like onigiri, OK?) and it was right on the way between work and home, which has been useful since vehicle has been at the mechanic. I'm very much looking forward … Continue reading Behold My Shortcomings →

Yesterday was the seventh anniversary of this site. It never ceases to amaze me that anyone would read anything that I wrote, much less having the knowledge that some of you have been doing it for so long. It's been kind of you to stick with me through it. This has not been my most … Continue reading A Seventh Year Gone By →

Yesterday morning, the Girls, visiting from L-Town, and I went out to grab a cache. Since my car is still in the shop, we were going to have a bus-based adventure, but I wimped out and decided to use one of the ridesharing services we have all come to know and loathe. They were the … Continue reading The Second Best Happening →

It’s rare these days I find myself in truly urban forest.  I have a tendency to stick to park lands when I “rough it” lately, mostly because I’m getting farther and farther out for my daily caches so I’m seeing more suburban and semi-rural.  But since I’m sticking closer to town thanks to car repairs, … Continue reading How Do I Get One? →

No, I haven't been to a Spanish Geotour that started and ended a year into my geocaching career. You see, many years ago when I lost a car, I was bus bound and did a lot of caching in town. Since my car is going to be down for a bit (my mechanic is booked … Continue reading The Ants Go Marching →

From a non-caching perspective, my weekend was absolutely lovely. From a caching perspective though, it was 50% failure. I was going to make a trip on Saturday morning out of town to somewhere where I could grab a whole bunch of caches since it's been a while since I just did that. Unfortunately, my car … Continue reading People May Make Plans →
