Geocache Description:

May 20, 2007 12:00 Noon
A Flash Mob Gathering of Geocachers. Only 15 minutes long! You MUST be present and sign the log sheet DURING this time to claim the event. Please BYOP! (Bring your own pen and Travel Bugs to trade)


This Flash Mob is a Gathering of Geocachers. Only 15 minutes long! You MUST be present and sign the log sheet DURING this time to claim the event.
This event will be quite unique, creative, be the first of it's kind (as far as we know of) and might be the fore-runner of a new type of event. You're heard of mega-events? This is quite the opposite in a variety of ways. Flash mobs have gathered for other reasons but never before for geocaching. Come be part of this historic event!

The event will last exactly 15 minutes, not one second longer. The event will begin precisely at 12:00 NOON on Sunday, May 20th. This is in an open public space, in Beachwood Park,Muskegon, Michigan. The event will be highly organized and facilitated by volunteers (that's you and me). At exactly 12:00 NOON (as determined by the GPS clock) I, your host, will place a box for log sheets nearby the coordinates. As you arrive, I'll hand you a "log sheet. Participants will sign the log sheets (which will later become a log book), to qualify for attendance and drop them in a designated collection box (at the coords). Bring a pen.

I'll draw a name from the box of log sheets to raffle off the FTF honors. When you arrive, grab a name tag.

At a designated time, we will toss out Hershey Kisses to all attendance for the event "meal".

A few minutes later, we will take a group photo.

Then we we will call out the FTF raffle winner.

At exactly 12:15, the log sheets will be packed up and sealed away. The event area will be vacated without a trace.

Events that happen after 12:15:01 do not count as part of THIS event.

Only those participants whose names appear on the log sheets may log the event.

ITINERARY: 11:45 - 11:59:59 Participants: Hang out around the posted coordinates. Be nonchalant and casual. Look like a muggle. Be a muggle. Don't look like a gathering waiting to happen. This is part of the fun. We will seem to appear out of no-where.

* 12:00 Simultaneously: I will place the box for log sheets. This is the signal that the event has begun! Log sheets, name tags, and markers will be placed next to the box. Participants: fill out log sheets and drop them in the collection box

* Participants: fill out name tags with caching names and stick 'em on

* 12:00 - 12:08 Participants: Mingle. Share stories. Brag. Trade swag. Take pictures. Sign the log (sheets). CITO the local area!

* 12:08 Participants: Go over to the posted coords for Hershey's Kisses. Hershey's Kisses are tossed out (as an official "meal") Photographer preps to take group photo

* 12:10 Participants: Go over to the posted coordinates for a group photo and assemble FAST. Listen to the photographer for directions. Group photo is taken

*12:12 Participants: Go to the posted coordinates. I will call out the winners of the FTF honors.

* 12:14 One minute warning is called "It is now 12:14!" Participants: Prep to leave, but don't "look" like your are prepping. (You might want to "secretly" organize where you will re-form after dispersal.)

* 12:15 EXACTLY Participants: Wait for it ... then LEAVE the area (right at 12:15) and meet elsewhere if desired. The log sheet box will be packed up (if you don't get it in time, too bad, you can't log the event).

Immediately after the Event we will meet only a 1/2 mile South at Norman F. Kruse Park for geo talk and trading. Oh yes there are grills and tables so bring a picnic lunch for yourselves. See you there....

* Suggestion: COME EARLY TO FIND PARKING. Parking can be difficult to find. If you can't find parking you might miss the event!
