Geocache Description:

A Flash Mob Gathering of Geocachers

You're heard of MEGA-EVENTS? This is quite the opposite in a variety of ways. FLASH MOBS have gathered for other reasons. Come be part of this historic event! Please BYOP! (Bring your own pen)

This event is part of the WWFM - World Wide Flash Mob coordinated events

The plan:

RAIN OR SHINE: On Saturday, November 10th, at exactly 9:00am (as determined by the GPS clock) we will place 3 buckets at the coordinates. One bucket for TBs/coins, one for swag and one for filled out log sheets. At this point, all geocachers will converge, seeming to come out of "nowhere".

At precisely 9:15 the bucket, and the log sheets will be packed up and sealed away. The event area will be vacated without a trace!!! Events that happen after 9:15:01 do not count as part of THIS event.

Prior to the start time, mosey and wander about nonchalantly ... Then when the buckets are set down ... converge!

WWFM itinerary for Participants

8:45 - 8:59: Mill about and mosey. Be nonchalant and casual. Look like a muggle. Don't look like a gathering waiting to happen. Mosey as realistically as you can. This is part of the fun. We will seem to appear out of nowhere.

8:58: Videographer will begin filming video for the entire event to capture the moments

9:00: Vaccine will walk to ground zero with a bucket of swag. This is the signal that the event has begun!

9:00 - 9:06:
  • Fill out name tags with caching names and stick 'em on.
  • Mingle!
  • Fill out log sheets and drop them in the collection bucket
  • Take photos!
  • Trade travel bugs and coins
9:06: Breakfast - official "meal" of Hershey's Kisses. Make sure to CITO your foil wrappers.

9:07: Raffle prizes.

9:10: Assemble FAST for group photo. Listen to the photographer for directions.

9:14: One minute warning is called "It is now 9:14!"

9:15 EXACTLY: Wait for it ... then LEAVE the area (right at 9:15 in a disorderly manner / different directions) and meet in front of the tech museum if desired. We want to clear the video taping area (we will continue to tape for a minute or so) to show us "vacate;.

If any muggles are curious about the event we will have fliers that explain geocaching.

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