Find #900

Find #900

Personal Log of the Captain – Stardate 100826 Usually I am not about numbers. Well, I am. Sort of. Every week I generate statistics of my finds. I love comparing my statistics with other and chimping about who is better and such. I also try to keep my found traditionals below 85% of my total [...]

The-Pathfinders: “Adventuring in Charlottesville”

Adventuring in Charlottesville Something that is important for me is making sure that my family have glorious adventures together. I use the word “glorious” with special care as what I am really saying is that I want us to make memories. To often these days, we see families that actually do very little together and [...]

THE-PATHFINDERS: “VICTORY AT LAST!”

VICTORY AT LAST! The quest for geocache “The Glorious Cause” has been one that my wife and I have had in our hearts for some time. In fact, my wife says quite quickly that it was trying to solve this mystery the first time that caused her to want to take up the sport. As [...]

The-Pathfinder: “Mega Smiley” Denied!

“Mega Smiley” Denied! “Mega Smiley” is one smiley that is currently denied for me as although I have searched and searched … it was nowhere that I could find it. Finding ground zero was easy as there definitely is a large smiley at the spot to be found but unfortunately it is not the one [...]

The-Pathfinders: “The Norwegian Lady”

The Norwegian Lady As a person who loves photography, history and a good story, I loved seeking out and seeing the “Norwegian Lady.” Having just left a neighboring arcade, our small team found her standing as she was described facing out towards the sea. The inscription on a plaque at the site of the statue [...]

Quick Stop Leads To Quick Find Heading out on a much needed vacation, my family stopped to stretch our legs at a rest stop on the eastbound side of Interstage 64 between Richmond and Williamsburg. We were traveling to Virginia Beach where we would spend three nights. Figuring their would be a cache hidden at [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
