We would like to host an event where we have many geocachers that are helping to expand the sport and make it even more fun. The park is not reserved, so please bring your own chairs. Please bring a muggle or newbie that is interested in learning more about geocaching and help them find a few caches while in the area before or after the event.
Warning: There is a traditional cache here, but please don't find it when you arrive as we will have live demo on how to find it after a quick explanation of the basics of geocaching.
Please bring trackables to trade or show off and bring geocaching stories to tell. If possible, please bring a store bought family friendly breakfast treat or drink to share with group.
