So there is a bunch of local, pretty extreme cachers who put build geoarts and host events to gather people together to hunt them down. They tend toward stupid hard hides and lots of DTs. So guess where I was this weekend? The turnout was pretty big, bigger than the other two of these I've … Continue reading I Told You I Was Gonna Cache… →

My entry today is going to be a little more somber than usual. There's also no easy way to segue into it, so I'm just going to jump in with both feet. We age, and, eventually, we will die.There is no fact of the human condition that is truer than this. Yes, it's a bummer. … Continue reading Sic Transit Gloria Mundi →

So, I felt the need to confess something. It may not be something that needs confessing, but there are people in the geocaching world who might be upset at someone doing something like this. Therefore, I'll admit it and let the world decide. Pictured above is The Thunderbirds Memorial Mural in Las Vegas. It's not … Continue reading My Confession →

Now that I'm not jetting all around the country, what am I gonna do? Same thing I do when I'm at home writing about it ... I'm gonna cache. You don't hear about it so much because, well, I'm too busy writing about every county I have trodden beneath my sandaled feet. But I didn't … Continue reading So, What Will I Do In The Meantime? →

It's been a long time (over two years) since I felt the need to write one of these. A long time ago, I used to examine my trips to figure out where I might have made mistakes and how I might do better in the future. If I may toot my own proverbial horn for … Continue reading Lessons →

I started on the path back to Vegas with more than a little frustration. I had such intentions, so many more plans but, as Mr. Burns pointed out, "the best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley," or some kind of crap like that. All I could do was go forward. I only had … Continue reading Las Vegas II (Electric Boogaloo) →

Yes, folks, that's a nice courthouse and all, but that's not the important thing right now. There is snow on the ground! I sometimes joke about being lucky to have made it to a destination, but in this particular case I say it more seriously. Sure, it doesn't look like much in the picture, and … Continue reading 681.

I didn't know quite what to make of this courthouse. It seemed like a very 1970s style (it was dedicated to public service on July 4, 1976, the Bicentennial of the United States, after all) and that's not necessarily bad. It's just not good. It helps that there was a newspaper vending machine here though. … Continue reading 680. Globe, Gila County (AZ05) →

This is the Commissioners' Building. As best as I can tell, the county commissioners work out of here, doing the business of the county and the yadda yadda hey hey. Some of you can probably guess what I think of this building, but on the off chance you can't, it sucks. It's boring. It's not … Continue reading 679. Tucson, Pima County (AZ04) →

Welcome to the longtime shire of the most controversial sheriff since, well, nobody else (a Google search for "controversial sheriff" literally pulls up his name), Joe Arpaio. I noticed the street construction immediately, so I had to swing around a bit to even find a place to park, but once I did, it was worth … Continue reading 678. Phoenix, Maricopa County (AZ03) →
