The Pathfinder: “Finding a Boy Scout Geocache”

Finding a Boy Scout Geocache I first went looking for “SJAC of BSA” a couple of weeks ago when I was in the area to cover a Valley League baseball game. Unfortunately at the time, I could not seem to access my paperless geocaching data nor the coordinates necessary for finding the actual cache. So [...]

The Pathfinder: “A Little Walnut Grove History”

A Little Walnut Grove History Part of a Waynesboro history series, “Walnut Grove” popped up on the geocaching radar at about the same time as “Rebel Line” of which I was first to find last week. Unfortunately for last week, I lacked the time before now to really slip over to make a quick grab [...]

Coming Soon: The Trail of Kahless — a geocache series

Today is a good day to geocache!!! Ever since we made the jump to “Klingon” style geocaching, I have been thinking of what kind of fun caches I can work at hiding in the near future … and today the idea has begun to take shape. In what will be called “The Trail of Kahless,” [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
