I didn't expect my cache yesterday to be emotionally fulfilling, but fulfilling it was. When I pulled up my map, I saw a lot of Unknown caches looking back at me, since I had already grabbed most of the Traditionals in the area. My eye was immediately drawn to the little frown on my screen. … Continue reading Vindicating Myself →

I'm sure by this point, most of you have picked up on the fact that caching is a major preoccupation of my existence. I can seriously say that there are only a handful of things in my life more important to me than caching (my daughters, of course, being chief among them). And by a … Continue reading Social Life? →

Yeah, I got a cache, as I am wont to do. Unfortunately, it's not the cache I went to the area to get. An FTF dropped nearby a few hours before, so I rushed out for it as soon as I got out of work. When I got near ground zero, I noticed it had … Continue reading Consolation Prize →

Does one ever truly leave Waco? In other than the literal sense, I mean? I’m not sure because I don’t seem to have gotten out of its orbit. Several days ago, I decided that, since I was in Waco again, I might as well find a cache up there. I pulled up the map, chose … Continue reading Styles →

With their last week of school completed and a long weekend ahead, my daughters came down to Austin to hang out and do non-Longview things! Thanks to a last-minute itinerary change, I had to pick them up in Waco. But when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!* That just meant getting out of my normal … Continue reading Tot(t)s In The Field →

Yesterday, the night cache I placed over the weekend in Lampasas finally published. This normally wouldn't be worthy of note to all of you hundreds or thousands of miles from GZ, but it has been almost a week since it was submitted. Since when does it usually take a week for a cache to publish? … Continue reading I’m So Sorry →

A buddy of mine created a series of caches with an interesting conceit: they're all Multis, each dedicated to a different fictional Texas county, mostly from literature. He was inspired when he ran across a county-counting website that counted only 253 of the 254 counties in Texas. He wanted to find that missing county and … Continue reading In Search Of New Counties? →

It's been a weekend of Events for me. Saturday, I went to an Event to celebrate both a milestone and the anniversary of a caching couple. Toward the end, a few cachers and I (specifically Kittydcota, Krissy4884, and friend of the blog Razorbackgirl) popped away to grab a few caches in a nearby cemetery. This … Continue reading A Different Aim →

I got off work and, as I am wont to do, I headed out to get a cache for the day. My first attempt was a bust, but forgivable. I just couldn't find that D3/T5 in that tree. As we all know, it happens. The second attempt fared no better. I'm pretty sure it was … Continue reading Sometimes You Get The Bull… →

A couple of nights ago, I was out of town on grounds I rarely stomp. I ran down to San Marcos for dinner with some caching friends. It wasn't an Event or anything. We just gathered to talk about some stuff and things and preparations for [REDACTED]. I ended up being unexpectedly early because traffic … Continue reading On Location →
