Get Out!

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been seeing ‘ads’ on Facebook for over in Sharpsburg.  We’ve known about the place for a while, but it just hasn’t been on our radar until recently.  After reading a few of the reviews that accompanied the ads we decided that we should give it a try sometime.  A couple of weekends ago we were planning to get out to run a few errands and decided to grab some supper while we were out.  As were trying to decide where to go, Miguelño Tienda y Restaurante came up. When we walked in, I saw that looked like my kind of restaurant…a hole in the w ..read more

There and Back Again…

With all due respect to J.R.R. Tolkein, I had to borrow the title of Bilbo Baggins’ memoir of his adventures with Gandalf the Grey, Thorin Oakenshield and the rest of the company of dwarves in The Hobbit.  I took a little adventure of my own with a group of friends, old and new, this past weekend.  Before we dive into the tale, let me set the stage and tell you a bit about the characters and the lead-up to our adventure. First, the cast of characters.  Our Company included myself, Cliff, Dan, Brian, Doyle and Neil.  I’ll leave the last names off to protect the guilty. Cliff ..read more

TGGEQ Update No. 11 – The Adventurous Adventures of Lil Henz II – Providence Canyon
Get Out!

Lil Henz II wanted to go caching and so did we, but where to go?  I looked over the remaining caches to log on my list of Quest caches and ultimately decided that Providence Canyon near Lumpkin, Georgia would be a good destination.  I’ve been wanting to visit Providence Canyon for a while and the opportunity to check four EarthCaches off my list sealed the deal. We wanted to get to the park early before it got hot and before the park got crowded so we were up and on the road early. We turned off the highway and onto the park entrance road around 9:40 and discovered that the parking ..read more

First Impressions – Dutchware Wide Netless Hammock and a few other Bits and Bobs
Get Out!

OK, where do I begin? First of all, this is another ‘first impressions” gear review.  My comments are based on a handful of uses of a piece of gear rather than on extensive use in a multitude of conditions over time. I’ve been noticing some wear on my old hammock that I made from a nylon tablecloth several years back. When I say wear, I mean several small holes have appeared in the creases in the fabric near the head and foot ends of the hammock.  Now I’m not exactly a little fella so I put a bit of stress on the hammock fabric and I have a distinct aversion to being unexpectedly dropped on my ..read more

TGGEQ Update No. 9 – SOWEGA – Plan C

TGGEQ Update No. 9 – SOWEGA – Plan C SOWEGA – Southwest Georgia Early on as I planned out my strategy for completing this quest I decided that I’d do the south Georgia caches in the cooler months.  Let’s face it, caching in south Georgia during the summer when temperatures are north of ninety degrees and humidity levels are off the charts just isn’t fun.  Sometime during the past year I also decided that I wanted to tackle the caches in the southwest corner of the state first.  Why?  Just because. When I began planning this adventure I had wanted to do the four Georgia State Parks GeoTour cac ..read more

TGGEQ Update No. 8 – On the Road Again
Get Out!

It’s been a long hot summer and I haven’t spent much time caching, at least not here in Georgia.  I managed to log 30 caches during mine and Jenna’s trip to Yellowstone National Park in July and a couple each on our trips to Congaree National Park in June and Great Smoky Mountains National Park in early August.  Until lately it’s been too hot to cache…OK, at least to cache comfortably.  How hot has it been?  Well, here’s a little graphic that described Georgia’s twelve seasons.  But wait…we only have four seasons, right, spring, summer, fall and winter, right?  Astronomically speaking, that is ..read more

The Adventurous Adventures of Lil’ Henz II – The Beginning of an End

Or…Lil’ Henz goes to Great Smoky Mountains National Park I’ve mostly avoided working on this entry for over a week now.  I started on it one day early last week but never really found the flow so I stopped and haven’t had much interest in picking back up.  Internally I’ve tried to blame the summer heat and humidity for giving me a bad case of lazy.  While that was probably at least partially true, I generally write these entries in the air conditioned comfort of our dining room.  There had to be some other reason.  I had a few minutes to work on this entry over the weekend so I opened up the t ..read more

The Adventurous Adventures of Lil Henz II:  Henz Goes Geyser Gazing

Or Lil Henz Goes to Yellowstone National Park… Stop #2 on Jenna’s Honors Capstone project tour…Yellowstone National Park.  The very first National Park.  Established March 1, 1872.  The granddaddy of them all. Given that Yellowstone National Park is nearly 1,600 miles from home, this trip would have its own challenges.  Fortunately those didn’t involve car troubles, all night partiers or severe thunderstorms.  OK, I take part of that back…there was a severe thunderstorm but it didn’t impact us all that much. Backtrack to Wednesday, July 10, our departure date.  We arrived at the airport early ..read more

Or Lil Henz goes to Congaree National Park. Jenna’s Honors Capstone project for college is a study of anthropogenic change (man-caused change) in our National Parks.  Part of the work is to research historical photographs taken within select parks and then visit the parks for which photos were selected and return as close as possible to the locations where the photos were taken, take new photos and compare the two to identify changes caused by man over time.  An additional goal was to identify other small and large scale changes to the landscape and/or park features.  Due mainly to the time av ..read more

TGGEQ Update No 7 – Moving Targets
Get Out!
by mrbream

Last September when I set out on this little quest I had a suspicion that the endpoint would become a moving target…and it certainly has.  Not really in a bad way, mind you, finding more caches is always fun. When I got started, my Quest consisted of a total 259 caches, of which I had found a whopping 13.  Now, around eight months later, my find count has gone up to 70 but my list of Quest caches yet to find has increased to 231.  For those that just did the math, you’ve noticed that the total number of quest caches has gone up to 301 and will probably continue to go up, or maybe even down a ..read more
