The Pathfinder: “Brief Excursion to the Arboretum”
Brief Excursion to the Arboretum
I always enjoy visiting the arboretum at James Madison University and only wish that I had time to enjoy the visit more today while there.
Set to photograph state play-off games at JMU’s Convocation Center, I took time to find first another geocache followed [...]
The Pathfinder: “Crawling Through Bushes”
Crawling Through Bushes
Considering I was going to be visiting the Convocation Center at James Madison University, I decided to seek out “Zip It: 22807″ to see if I could locate it.
Going into this one, there were two bits that worried me a bit.
The first was finding a parking [...]
The Pathfinder: “Good Fortune Favors The Search”
Good Fortune Favors The Search
Following a failed quick attempt at another geocache a mile away, I had the fear that “Chinese Fortune” would also be buried in snow to the point that I would not be able to locate it on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010.
However, the clues [...]
U.S.S. Pathfinder: Time Warp???
Captain’s Log — Stardate: 20091014
Our ship emerged from warp this afternoon as we returned to port yet the date does not seem to match our mission time.
It must have been a timewarp as whatelse can explain the absence of activity from this ship and crew as well as the lateness of various mission reports that [...]

Not Leaves of Three!!!
After finding another cache that was only a mile or so away, I overshot the location where “Oh-Barn-Di, Oh-Barn-Dah” was hidden and was forced to turn around and approach the location again.
There was definitely a barn at the location which at first was where I expected to find the geocache, but was surprised as it [...]

Under a Skirt @ Blackwater
Decided to take a moment for myself and headed out looking for a couple of geocaches.
First on the list was “The Food on the Hill” which was a fairly straightforward hide and easily located as it was under a lamp skirt at the Blackwater Cafe … and I do believe the cafe was located on [...]
Not Quite By Sea
Looking for “Blackberries (Island) Singing in the Dead of Night” marked the first time ever that I searched for a geocache hidden on an island that had to be reached by boat.
Special thanks to Daniel Jarrett for taking me out to the location while family and friends enjoyed an afternoon on Smith Mountain Lake.
The island [...]
