The Pathfinder: “Not First To Look, But First To Find”

Not First To Look, But First To Find Last night, I took note when email notification came in of two new geocaches popping up over in Waynesboro. First thought was to jump in the car and make a mad dash to the neighboring system in the hope of locating it in the dark, however, it [...]

I.K.S. Red Wolf:

I.K.S. Red Wolf: “Sleeping In”

Captain’s Log — Imperial Stardate: 2010,06,24 We Klingons sniffed the air and decided it was a good day to sleep in while others seek out the first contact for outpost “Rebel Line” over in the Waynesboro system. And to be honest … Imperial Intelligence predicted this one to be located long before now which leads [...]

Great Weekend

Great Weekend

After a very bumpy start into the caching year with lots of colds, we finally had a great caching weekend with 20 finds again. More so, since it was a busy work weekend for stefmaus and we could only cache two half days. If things work out as planned, we can even find as many [...]

Robert Donavan on his first away missions

Captain’s Log Stardate 2010.0623 Today was a calm day on the caching front. My crew was sitting around and discussed what to do next weekend. Saturday is event day, but Sunday is still open. Lt. stefmaus found a travelbug that wants to go to Stuttgart, before it goes back to Lueneburg, the city she studied [...]

Panda Antivirus and GSAK

After the recent update of Panda Antivirus 2010 GSAK refused to import caches, upload them to my GPS or even to just filter them. GSAK hang, blocked the system and nothing else was possible. Only hitting the power button helped. Following a quick search in the GSAK forum I sent a mail to the Panda [...]

The Pathfinder: No Joy @ “Ashley’s Roundabout”

No Joy @ “Ashley’s Roundabout” I have been meaning to get around to “Ashley’s Roundabout Cache” for some time and finally did today (after a trip to the playground) without much success. Made it to the top of the hill with no problem and explored as best as I could around ground zero as indicated [...]

The Pathfinder: “What A View” @ VDOT Monument

“What A View” @ VDOT Monument I was both surprised and very pleased when I discovered that geocache “What A View” was hidden at the VDOT Worker’s Monument as it was not all that long ago I submitted the location as a waymark. It was one of those places that not only does have a [...]

The Pathfinder: “Having Faith” Leads To Return

“Having Faith” Leads To Return I find it appropriate that the “Have Faith” geocache marks my return to the sport of geocaching — especially since I was in the neighborhood photographing a swim meet not all that far away. After several months of not seeking, I have been feeling the itch to begin again as [...]

Planning A Return

After a long period of being quiet and remaining silent, I am pleased to say that I am planning my return to the sport of geocaching with regular updates planned for this website! It will begin with planned missions to checkout caches we have placed to make sure they see still there and well maintained. [...]
