The Lost Cache at Monument Square
WWFM III


ALL CACHERS:YOU MAY WANT TO PUT THIS ON YOUR WATCHLIST FOR ANY LATE BREAKING NEWS THAT MIGHT OCCUR BEFORE THE EVENT

A Flash Mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disperse.

Date: Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Time: 12:00PM to 12:15PM

Where: Monument Square in Downtown Racine

What: A 15 minute mob of geocachers. This event will last 15 minutes, not one second longer! This event will be one small part of the WWFM (World Wide Flash Mob) event. This event (and all others around the globe in their time zone) will begin precisely at 12:00PM on Saturday, May 10th.

At 11:45 - 11:59AM participants should wait patiently in their automobile or stroll around the area. STAY AWAY from ground zero! As much as you can, act like a muggle.

At 11:59AM make your way to the event coordinates.

At exactly 12:00PM (as determined by your GPS clock and a whistle blow) we will place a bucket for log sheets near the coordinates. As you arrive, we'll hand you a "log sheet" or feel free to bring a small piece of paper with your name already written on it. Participants will sign the log sheets (which will later become the log book). To qualify for attendance, drop them in the designated bucket (near the coordinates).

At 12:05PM, on my signal (me yelling..."Has anybody found the cache?") we will all get down on our hands and knees and begin looking for a non-existent cache (think lost contact). I will select one attendee prior to the event to end the search with a loud "I FOUND IT!!!" at 12:06PM

At 12:07PM we will draw one name from the bucket to see who gets the FTF prize

At 12:10PM we will gather for a group photo in front of the MONUMENT

At 12:14PM, there will be a 1 minute warning whistle. At this time you will begin to prep to leave, but don't "look" like you are prepping.

At exactly 12:15PM (another whistle blow), the log sheets will be packed up and sealed away. the event area will be evacuated without a trace.

Events that happen after 12:15PM DO NOT COUNT as part of THIS event. If everything goes right we will have lots of people coming out of nowhere and gathering for 15 minutes, hold a geocaching event, and then dispersing.... This could be lots of fun and maybe even raise a few muggle eyebrows!

Remember to check your GPS clock; you are in the CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME ZONE!

Log this if you plan to be there and remember that TIME is the important thing here!
