It's the first Saturday of the month and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, or Hannukah, or whatever celebration you're into at this time of the year. You get the drift. It's the first Saturday of the month again and so it's time to come out and have a cup of coffee with us.
Come on down and grab a cup of coffee and spend some time shooting the breeze with other local geocachers. You'll be able to trade travel bugs and just hang out for awhile while you recharge your batteries with your favorite type of morning beverage. Then, after you've recharged your batteries, you'll be able to make an informed decision as to whether you want to brave the holiday shopping crowd.
This event will be held at the Starbucks in Rancho Cucamonga near the corner of Baseline and Haven. The event will start at 8:00 AM and end somewhere around 9:00 in the morning. That way, you'll still have plenty of time to do whatever you wanted to do for the rest of the day. There is plenty of parking for this event but the outdoor seating is very small, so very likely, this will be an indoor event this month. Who knows? Maybe we'll need to be inside due to rain. We can be hopeful, can't we?
