Right before headin' to the SSW wrestlin' throwdown in Port Neches (check Home for the chaos), Ma spots a high~rated cache beggin' to be snagged. Name alone screamed "news flash" ~ and bam, it`s an old newspaper vending machine pimped out as a geocache, complete with green glow~up and that iconic symbol. Took the girls a solid 15 minutes to crack it open ~ made us fashionably late to the show, but totally worth the headline hunt!

Late~breakin' find ~ newspaper cache scoop!

Took Lizzy (Evelyn`s super close friend) out for her very first geocaching adventure today! To put the cherry on top and make it extra special for her, she actually scored our group`s very first FTF (First To Find) of 2026!

Log Entry: "For the Love of Truckers" (GCBHGYT) ~ Status: FOUND!

The cache was a Micro hidden near a fence line, and she spotted it like a pro. Nothing beats that "new cacher" luck! Now we are off to find the next one before heading into Port Neches for the local wrestling show tonight.

Wrestling and geocaching? That`s how the MisFits do a Saturday!

Talk about a New Year's Eve crunch! We set a massive goal to hit 900 finds before the clock struck midnight. Starting at 864 just two days ago, we went on a total cache binge across the Bolivar Peninsula. We finally bagged the milestone Cache #900 "Mother of Texas" (GCBCPN9) just as the sun dipped below the horizon near Fort Travis. Mood: absolutely stoked and ready for a thousand more in 2026!

From marshy trails to little free libraries ~ the hunt never stops


Official c:geo stats: 900 finds logged and loaded!

Unseasonably toasty for SETX ~ hittin' near 80F on Christmas Eve. Turned the humidity into hunt fuel and bagged around 10 caches. From abandoned spots to sneaky pipeline hides, the day's weird warmth made for perfect trail time. Doggo along for the ride, family finds all around.

Abandoned vibes and sign shenanigans ~ cache conquests


Reaching for treasures ~ family team in action

A fresh cache dropped mid~Fortnite frenzy ~ we wiped, bolted out the door, and snagged it 25 minutes later. Night hunt vibes with headlamps and quick scribbles. FTF glory, baby! Woop woop!

FTF rush ~ from Fortnite death to cache victory

This state park's smack in the middle of Austin's urban sprawl, but it's got killer hiking trails and stunning scenery. Snagged a few solid caches amid the waterfalls and rocks. Bittersweet spot though ~ 80% of the campsites seem occupied by folks livin' rough out of their vehicles. Tough sign of the times.

Urban oasis hunts ~ waterfalls and hidden gems

Huntsville's got some wildly creative caches ~ robots crafted from coffee cans lurking in the woods, gold~sprayed bricks in treasure chests, and an alien space station that glows epic in the dark. Loved every quirky find. Quick detour to Sam Houston's grave for Pa's history fix while Ma and Evelyn nabbed cemetery caches. Now chowing at McD's plotting our Austin run.
