Last night, the True Utility Telepen Telescopic Pen I ordered from Amazon arrived. Naturally, I had the box open before I was even in the front door. It is perfect! Although it took me a few moments to figure out that there was no release mechanism for the pen from the cap -- just really tight friction -- it was exactly as I had hoped. The collapsed length is just a little longer than traditional house keys and just a little shorter than traditional car keys. Whenever I drive to a geocache now, I am guaranteed to have a pen with me!!! Another exciting thing…

Geocaching Pen
16 Apr 2012 | 5:50 pmI generally don't post many product links on this website, but sometimes I find a particular product that just blows my mind on its usefulness. Normally, I wouldn't put a pen in this category, but I've had too many experiences lately where I happen to find a cache while out-and-about without a pen handy to sign the log. In fact, this weekend, I resorted to scratching my name in a log with a muddy toothpick because I found a cache while out of town and didn't have a pen with me in the car. This pen is a tiny, telescoping pen that attaches to your keyring or other keychain. With this, if I… -
RIP txoilgas
9 Feb 2012 | 2:14 pmOn January 28, a local caching legend, Alan Stricklin (a.k.a. txoilgas) passed away during a caching trip in Oklahoma. I first met Alan when he became a geocaching legend by becoming the first geocacher to complete my Texas County Challenge cache after having found or hidden a geocache in all 254 counties in the State of Texas! Alan, may you rest in peace (or begin creating a Heaven County Challenge for the rest of us). If you have special geocaching memories of Alan, please feel free to share them with the rest of us in the comments below. -

My first Munzee
25 Apr 2012 | 12:03 pmSo I had heard a bit about Munzee its a lot like geocaching except you find a QR code you scan with your smart phone instead of a cache. Many people have been placing them on geocache containers. The one I found yesterday was hidden by Kelly in front of his work. Its the first one in Grants Pass.While cell phone coverage has been growing there are still out of the way places that a Munzee just wouldn't be possible but a cache would. I can see them being much more successful in an urban environment.I might put out one of my own and I'll probably scan them when I see one. As for seeking them… -
April Cache
22 Apr 2012 | 11:35 pmMy one cache a month streak is still aliveJCT1Sadly the container broke and I couldn't put it back as it was... just my luck. This was a hard one to grab even on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of muggles and an odd to reach hiding spot.I spent most of my weekend power washing my deck and cleaning up the grill to start the season. All my deck furniture is out and I even got a new coat of water seal on all the rails while it was warm.

Let's Call Them "Issues". A Blog in INATN.
26 Apr 2012 | 12:02 pmThe New Zealand-based geocaching blog "It's Not About the Numbers" recently asked me to write a guest post on the topic of the most common mistakes that geocache owners make that prevent me from publishing their caches on the first go-round. You can read my post on their blog. I'm also posting it below to improve the search engine optimization for my blog. :)--------------- It’s Not About the Numbers was kind enough to ask me to write a guest blog on the topic of “the biggest/most common mistakes you see as a reviewer when players submit a new cache listing.” But since… -

I just can't take it any more.
1 Apr 2012 | 6:00 amIf you submitted an Iowa geocache for publication on geocaching.com this weekend, you may have noticed that it was published today by a reviewer other than me. This is because I have lost the ability to push the "publish" button on my computer. I have tried to fix this problem. At first I thought it was a computer problem but Computer Geeks told me my computer was fine. They suggested I contact a physician. My physician told me there was nothing wrong with my index finger -- which is the one I use to press the "publish" button. He suggested I contact a psychiatrist. My psychiatrist told me I…

Mulholland Mist
3 May 2012 | 11:00 amI took a stroll on a side trail off of dirt Mulholland, and enjoyed the misty views of the surrounding valleys. Chips, But No Salsa The One Legged Hill King I started at the south end of Vanalden: Quite a few birds and one loud cricket serenaded me along the way: The San Fernando Valley was shrouded in its seasonal overcast layer: The mustard was already getting over head high: The hills of the Topanga Canyon area were clear and spring green: Ahh… such a lovely morning.

My First TV Interview!
26 Apr 2012 | 11:00 amA couple of weeks ago, I made my LIVE television debut as the subject of a story on Studio 11 LA, a local news magazine show. I was interviewed by one of their featured reporters, Emmy-award-winning Ed Laskos . (photo by BWidget) I’ve been waiting to get a link or a professional quality copy of the video from the folks on the production staff there, and I’ll post it if I get it, but I didn’t want to let too much time go by before writing here about it, so I set up my video camera set up in front of my TV so you could at least see the clip somehow. I was honored to have some… -
Empty Circle
19 Apr 2012 | 11:00 amEmpty Circle 5.0 Challenge I was inspired by GeoCraig’s post on his completion of this challenge to take a look. A couple of years ago, I had an 8 mile radius cleared out and only 20 caches left in my 10 mile radius! Now… er… I have over 100 unfound in my 5 mile circle… I live smack dab in the center of the San Fernando Valley, which is both an advantage and disadvantage compared to where GeoCraig is centered. The advantage is that I won’t encounter any extreme terrain. The disadvantage is that there’s a much higher probability that new caches will pop up while… -
Scavenging for Local History

Yesteryear Still Here! All of the new caches placed were homages to all of the toys from the 50s and 60s, many of which I played with: Spirograph Easy Bake Oven G.I. Joe The design of the challenge was elegant, all contained in a few pieces of paper, and it was fairly easy to strategize a route and a plan. I was on Team Marzipan with f0t0m0m and the Ventura Kids.

Geocaching Pen Follow-up

The collapsed length is just a little longer than traditional house keys and just a little shorter than traditional car keys.

Geocaching and the Multi-Tool
2 May 2012 | 2:05 pmShy of a good pair of tweezers, I cannot think of a more useful tool for anyone's geocaching arsenal than the multi-tool. In fact many multi-tools come with tweezers; so there ya go. Multi-tools allow a geocacher to open geocaches that are stubbern to open, remove a geocace from its hiding spot (pictured) and a great retriever of geocaching logs. You can go very inexpensive with a basic tool or all the way with dozens of functions. Any way you go, having one of these handy dandy tools on you can be a life saver.

Bank holiday caching in Cambridgeshire
15 May 2012 | 4:42 pmWe’ve had a rough few weeks weather-wise in the UK, but with the bank holiday weekend starting 5th May approaching we kept our fingers crossed for good weather. We didn’t mind a bit of rain, or a few showers, but we just hoped that we wouldn’t have another experience like that when we were in Melton Mowbray when we could barely even do drive-by’s! On the Saturday we headed to Cambridgeshire to do a couple of new Poshrule series: King’s Cliffe and Apethorpe Agadoo. We were so pleased that we went out despite the fears of rain as both were great series, each with… -
Going underground for our 10,000th find!!!
30 Apr 2012 | 5:39 pmAfter all of our fun in the US we were left at about 75 caches away from our 10,000th find. We thought long and hard about the cache that we wanted for our milestone, after all 10,000 couldn’t be just any old film can! We still needed to get the 74 other caches though so on Saturday 21st April we headed just north of Cambridge for a couple of walking series… Alconbury Amble Alconbury Weston Despite the rain we headed to Alconbury for this new series of 34 caches, Alconbury Amble. After we’d done the ET Highway and Route 66 power trails I joked that I “never wanted to… -
An American Caching Adventure (Part 4) – Route66
22 Apr 2012 | 2:06 pmOur final power trail for the trip was the famous Mother road, Route 66, running along about 100 miles of the highway between Barstow and Needles. There are 804 caches in the series with other caches in between. We set off from Barstow at about 6:15am and started caching at 7am! Our ambitious goal was to complete the whole series in a day, like many had done before. We weren’t sure if we would make it though, what with us grabbing around 400-500 each day on the ET and needing to get over 800 in a day to finish the Route66 series. I’d booked us a night in Needles at the east end of… -
