Pirates Cache

At 10:40 PM, HeyThereDlilah interrupted our conversation by grabbing my arm and exclaiming, “Your geocache!” It’s been an exciting day and I’d nearly forgotten to get at least one cache to maintain my streak. Shame on me! But this is just one more reason I love her. We were out the door in minutes.

We targeted the closest cache and found it pretty much right away. I was relieved because I’m not unfamiliar with this CO’s penchant for evil hides. We retreated to the warmth of the myrthmobile to check out the really cool container and sign the log.

With the time of day and the theme of this cache, I do believe this hunt qualifies as a late night (pirate’s) booty call! 😂🤣 Haha!! Good times.

Thank you, bartman914. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21

Central Cachers: Taco Twosday!

Twoday is special, at least for number and calendar nerds. Let's celebrate with a geo-event!

Meet and greet local cachers
Twosday, February 22th at 6:00 pm - 7:45 pm

at

Torchy's Tacos
5537 Weslayan St.
Houston, TX 77005

Ever wonder what those "event" caches with a little speech bubble icon are all about?

With a name like "event", it seems like it should be a bit more formal, and well maybe it should be, but that's not the way we roll here.

This event is a bunch of folks with something in common getting twogether for food, drinks, and conversation.

So, if you've been caching for years or maybe you just started, events are a great place two learn more about our obsession (er, hobby, sport, pastime, etc...).

Want two learn about geocaching? Want two know where all the cool geocaches are? Or maybe just meet the person behind those devious hides out there? Come on out and join us!

We will (likely) be the rowdy group at one big table. Look for trackables and maybe GPS units or other sundry nerd-like paraphernalia on the table.

History of Faith

I stopped by for my daily find after lunch at Pincher’s in El Campo with the myrthlings and HeyThereDlilah. We were celebrating the youngest’s 9th birthday. I can’t believe how time has flown! And now he’s putting away mud bugs like they’re going out of style!!

We had fun at the candy store afterwards. I was dared to eat some dried crickets which I did without hesitating. Not gonna lie: not my favorite “food.” HTD and the older two myrthlings also braved the crunch. Birthday Boy opted against it. Wise kid! LOL! Now I have insect parts stuck in my teeth.

I love the mural and didn’t know about it. Thanks for bringing me here, lil2busy. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21

.jpeg's Driving Tour

I’ve been chipping away at this tour for almost as long as I’ve lived in Houston. I don’t know why but I never made a specific, concerted effort to get it all done. Glad to have finally found it.

I went to Bellaire today after work, targeting a cluster of caches to make some much needed progress on my climb up Mt. Everest. One cache I found was part of this puzzle. When I added that location’s tidbit to my notes, I saw that I had only one more number to collect. May as well knock it out now!

I actually didn’t have to go to the last location on my list. You see: I work for a place that provides me with insider information about bus routes. And that cache had been archived. I stopped for a burger and to check my numbers. After banging Homer’s head a few times, I finally made him dance. It seems one of the locations had changed since this cache was published, but it was an easy fix. Perhaps Sherlock Holmes would’ve congratulated me for my deduction. “Elementary, my dear myrthman!” Indeed.

Lots of fun had along the way and a satisfying, albeit cold, hunt for the final. A fave.

Thank you, .jpeg. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21

Squirrel's Landing

This guy just landed on the pavement and scampered off. Wow!

It all happened in slow motion so I saw where he went. First, find where he landed at the posted coordinates. Then, project a waypoint of 102 feet at 18.1° and you too can find his super secret hideout.

Word on the Street

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite segments on Sesame Street was a vocabulary lesson called "What's the Word on the Street?" The segment began with a shot of Murray Monster saying, "Hi, I'm Murray from Sesame Street, and I'm looking for...the Word on the Street!" He then spoke with folks about what the day's word meant and usually instructed the audience to "keep listening for the word today on Sesame Street!" The word was later featured in the "street scenes" and highlighted again as the Word of the Day.

Murray recently found me on social media and shared the below, but I can't make heads or tails of it. Is it French, maybe? I don't know. Can you help?
