Saturday, I went out for a cache. Obviously, I found one. It was pretty disappointing, a plastic baggie containing a broken key box and a log in a hole in a tree. It was so crappy I specifically opted not to photograph it. I have often said (and still frequently say) that a cache is … Continue reading I Sat Down And Wept
Two Birds, One Stone
A couple of days ago, a series of challenge caches dropped, planted by the one and only Buckandi. They were interesting in that he placed them based on challenge difficulty. For those of you who do not spend a lot of time with Project-GC (if you like numbers, you should), one of the many things … Continue reading Two Birds, One Stone
I Get By With A Little Help…
I'll have you know that I am the proud recipient of the newest souvenirs of the Wheel of Challenges, the ones for Favorite Fan. Getting the Easy one was, well, easy. I would have gotten that one regardless. A cache a day for ten days would accomplish that. Getting the Hard one was, well, unexpected. … Continue reading I Get By With A Little Help…
Psychology or Mysticism?
I'm going to tell you a secret: this weekend, I was pretty unmotivated. Sure, yesterday I went and found a cache, but Saturday, I just didn't have it in me. I logged a challenge and called it a day. Most of the time, I enjoy getting out there on the hunt, but some days I … Continue reading Psychology or Mysticism?
Those Meddling Kids!
Credit where credit is due: my cache yesterday was pretty good. Good enough to earn one of my stingily hoarded favorite points. It was also a lot closer to home than expected. I had been saving this one for quite a while, but yesterday was the time, especially since I had to abort two other … Continue reading Those Meddling Kids!
Thanks, Dave!
Yes, I attended a rare Monday CITO. Unlike last time, it was much less demanding. After rain and high wind the previous week, I surmise that much of the trash we might have picked up was long gone. I had to go pretty far afield to manage a third of a bag, and I ended … Continue reading Thanks, Dave!
Looming
I ended up picking up an unintended FTF yesterday. It's a little outside of Austin, and I had decided to pick up one of the other caches in that area I hadn't gotten before, hoping I could save it for today and have an FTF for May early on. Unfortunately, the ones I chose turned … Continue reading Looming
Relieving The Burdens of Mother Earth
A challenge near Bandera requires attending a CITO on each of the seven days of the week. This challenge has been on a lot of people's minds as of late. Consequently, there has been a spate of mid-week CITOs on the calendar. One, in particular, has been bouncing around for the last few weeks. One … Continue reading Relieving The Burdens of Mother Earth
I Hate The Reason
The weekend found me making an unexpected trip to Longview to attend a funeral. Luckily, the occasion, though sad, was not tragic. It did however mean that I was a little more far afield for my daily cache than usual. I headed up early, leaving a good amount of time beforehand. I stopped in a … Continue reading I Hate The Reason
Victoria Parva
A new cache was published about a week ago on the other side of town from me. Another local cacher known for hunting FTFs took a shot at finding it but failed. The CO checked up on it, realized that they had used incorrect coordinates, and revised them. I assume that nobody else wanted to … Continue reading Victoria Parva
