Kansas Geocaching: Misc Images

Here are some photos from our recent geocaching adventure. They didn’t fit in with any of the other postings, but I liked them too much not to share. The first is shortly after the Blue Bonneville site, and hints at a slightly easier approach to that cache. I don’t remember exactly where the 2nd one … Read more

You Know You’re From Silicon Valley When

Even though you work 80 hours per week on a computer, for relaxation you read your email and peruse eBay. You have worked at the same job for a year and people call you an ‘old-timer’. The T-shirts you value most were for products that never made it to market. You can name four different … Read more

Kansas Geocaching: Horsethief’s Head
