WHAT
(and what makes it "Special") |
"Bowling Green Style - NWOGEO Meet & Eat
SPECIAL!"
This event is "Special" because
only twice a year we pre-empt our regular twice monthly Meet &
Eats held in Findlay and Maumee to hold a Special M&E Event in
Bowling Green. (Please note that our regular M&E events will
resume next month!)
It is also "Special" because it
is located centrally between Findlay and Maumee.
Being held on the 2nd Wednesday of the month, also helps
makes this event "Special" as it is centered by week and day of the
week between the usual occurrence of our 1st Tuesday and 3rd
Thursday M&E events.
What makes it MOST "Special" is
that it gives us all a chance to get together from a much wider
area of Northwest Ohio!
So come alone, bring a friend,
bring the family, plan on dinner or just grab a coffee. it’s all
casual. Stay all evening, stay an hour, stay 10 minutes, or just
open the door and say "Hi". It’s up to
you. |
WHO |
New and experienced geocachers, and even muggles who
just want to know more about geocaching are welcome, and whether
you are from the NW Ohio area, or just
visiting. |
WHY |
We often we only know fellow cachers by their online
presence, and from geocache log books! Here is a chance to put a
face or faces to that geocaching name in person.
You are welcome to bring Travel
Items and your special Signature Items to these events to show, log
and swap.
With the free WiFi service, you
can bring your laptop or other WiFi enabled device, to look up
caches and logs, check out our local NWOGEO website, check out
caching software, show caching pictures, and even log the
Event itself. Occasionally we even look up caches to hunt after the
event.
You are welcome to bring your
caching and technology questions with you, and if any caching and
computer gurus are in attendance, they may be able to offer advice.
There are people in our group with knowledge about caching and
mapping software, paperless caching, as well as insight into
Geocaching.com itself, cache page HTML, programming, and wireless
networking and more.
We usually try to set up an
Event table to get your name tags, sign the log book, and trade
travel items. Be sure to wear a name tag so that we know you are a
geocacher, and what to call you!
For those who have never signed
our log book before, be sure to peek inside the front cover for an
extra little surprise!
If you have any questions, post
a note here on this page and someone will happily try to
answer. |

Please post a note in the logs
below if you plan on attending, so that we can give the restaurant
an idea of how many people to expect. (Past events here, nearly
took over the entire restaurant!)
While no one particular
location will serve all cachers in NW Ohio
perfectly,Bowling Green
was chose as the best location centered between our regular Meet
& Eat locations for this special event that meets our
expectations to hold a good Meet & Eat.
Our goal is to have our M&E
Events, held at a comfortable, handicap accessible, family
friendly, open seating, brightly lit, low ambient noise and
conveniently located restaurant with good, reasonably priced
self-serve food, plus free Wireless Internet service
(WiFi).
This allows us to come and go
freely, order, pay, sit, and eat at our convenience, enjoy friendly
conversation, show and tell, and mingle
easily. |
