It’s been almost eighteen months since I’ve seriously geocached, although surprisingly I am still ranked in the top 1000 of all cachers worldwide (#991 as of last week). The main reasons I put the “sport” on hold all centered around the local community; the mega-cachers were arrogant about their influence in the game, the quality [...]
Someone in the South Bay with the geocaching name Scourge is removing some of those pesky lame micros that never should have been approved in the first place. His (or her) log entry is always only the mystic message “pum-SPAK!” Having been put on the right path by Equinox who swears no knowledge of the [...]
Just inside the East Garrison gate of Fort Ord on the Monterey Peninsula, Chuck and Vicki raced down Inter Garrison Road on their racing bikes, intent on enjoying the late-summer day, the breeze cooling them off through the slits in their bike helmets. Forty minutes later, a medevac chopper lifted off the road in a [...]
Last night just before midnight, as I neared the end of a two-year-long journey, I found myself racing down a residential street in frustration, heading towards yet another park. Three simple questions arise from that statement: What journey? What the heck was I doing out there around midnight? Why the frustration?
Just over two years ago, [...]
I can’t believe that I forgot to log my successful degree confluence visit when I nabbed it way back last November!
This was a difficult confluence for me to nab; not only am I completely unfamiliar with the area so I got a bit lost wandering around the windy neighborhood streets, but as noted by the [...]
This was a fun confluence to visit, one of the world’s most popular, I believe! I hadn’t planned on visiting the confluence today, so I hadn’t planned the best route either. I wandered around the general area until I stumbled upon DeLaveaga Park. I parked and walked a trail east. At one point I was [...]
Excerpted from an article from The Fresno Bee:
A man drowned Sunday in the Kings River trying to help another man whose kayak became tangled under a bridge below Pine Flat Dam. The victim died about 10:15 a.m. after he went into the river on an inflatable kayak to reach a man yelling for help, witnesses [...]
I spied this picture on the geo-forums today and noticed that many people had added their own explanations. The best follow:
“I thought The Lady of the Lake was supposed to hand out swords.”
“I’m going to definitely email the owner of this cache and have the $$@*(*&* difficulty changed!”
“Let’s see, was that NAD 27 or WGS [...]
Ðámn! It’s taken me almost two weeks to finish this entry and I’m still not done yet! Well, at least I’ll get this first (and close enough to final for you all to begin work on) draft out this month. Everything but what is represented by the several 999:999’s is properly and completely encrypted and [...]
On April 16, I unsuccessfully tried to find a geocache called Little Liz in Fremont, California. My experience was very creepy:
Well, less of a “couldn’t find it” and more of a “gave up before I could get there” kind of cache today. Even if the ground had not been covered in up to a foot [...]
