Sturgeon’s Law

Ninety per­cent of every­thing is crap.


Derived from a quote by sci­ence fic­tion author Theodore Stur­geon, who once said, “Sure, 90% of sci­ence fic­tion is crud. That’s because 90% of every­thing is crud.” Oddly, when Sturgeon’s Law is cited, the final word is almost invari­ably changed to ‘crap’.

I only have so many words that I can type per day, so geo­caching logs is where are all of them went today. Pretty pedes­trian stuff, but if you only read one of these, let it be #6.

  1. Among the Pal­met­tos — Park­ing coor­di­nates, smark­ing coor­di­nates. We pulled into a handy spot near the play­ground and took a nice lit­tle walk to the cache. We spot­ted the con­tainer in short order and in our usual fash­ion, then dis­cov­ered the easy way out. Took a SC Parks clip and left a few small items. TFTC
  2. Lakes Region Chal­lenge Hamil­ton Branch State Park — After find­ing Among the Pal­met­tos we walked out to the point to find this one. Took an SC State Parks jar opener and left Chick-Fil-A fun book. TFTC
  3. Mt. Ver­non Halfway House — Neat con­tainer! Swapped a cou­ple of trav­el­ers. TFTH
  4. Rabbit’s Revenge — We were here in the park hunt­ing the SC Parks Lake Chal­lenge cache and we passed less than 1,000 feet from this one, so we thought what the heck. We took a Match­box car and left some Mardi Gras beads. TFTH
  5. Lakes Region Chal­lenge – Baker Creek State Park — We too used Succotash’s coords and I made park­ing more dif­fi­cult than the walk to or find­ing the cache, it was a good thing we weren’t in the Miata… Took noth­ing and left some Mardi Gras beads. TFTH
  6. Beans for Delight­ful — We were here in the park hunt­ing the SC Parks Lake Chal­lenge cache and this one was a lit­tle more than a half mile fur­ther along, so we thought what the heck. We were a few hun­dred feet from GZ when I noticed a large bird walk­ing par­al­lel to us through the trees. At first I thought it was a wild turkey, but it looked way too big and it was mov­ing about 4 times as fast as any turkey I had every seen. I pointed it out to my wife who too got a brief glimpse of it before it was to far away to see any more. I kind of wish the park was offi­cially open, so I could have asked a ranger if there were an wild emu (although the col­or­ing looked more like ostrich) liv­ing here. Oh, yeah, we found the cache too. Took a kid­die book and left some Mardi Gras beads and a small Florida pin. TFTH
  7. Haunted Stump — We left noth­ing and the only thing we took was a worth­less lot­tery ticket, all the while not dis­turb­ing the snail liv­ing on the the container’s cover. TFTH
  8. Lakes Region Chal­lenge – Hick­ory Knob — After find­ing the Haunted Stump cache we walked across the street to grab this one. We took a Match­box car and left a kid­die book. TFTC
