Geocache Description:


You have clicked on one of the many listings for
WWFM III
(third worldwide, but Cleveland's first.)


May 10th. 1:00-1:15 p.m.
Mark your calendars.

This is fifteen minutes you won't want to miss.


INFORMATION

This event is a "Flash Mob" gathering of geocachers, only 15 minutes long! To claim the event, you must be present and sign a log sheet during this time. (Hence the difficulty level of 2.)

"WWFM" stands for the World Wide Flash Mob event: Dozens of events all around the world, coordinated to happen at the same time to bring together geocachers and introduce others (newbies) to geocaching.

You've heard of MEGA-EVENTS? This is quite the opposite in a variety of ways. FLASH MOBS have gathered for other reasons (visit link). Come be part of this historic event!

The event will begin precisely at 1:00pm on May 10, 2008 and will last EXACTLY 15 minutes, not one second longer.

EVENT DETAILS

• There is plenty of parking in the location of the event, but we suggest driving down a little early so as to ensure you have a place to park that is not too far away. Either stay in your car or get out of your car and pretend you are a muggle. Act like you don't know anyone else.
• At 12:59 PM make your way to the designated event coordinates shown above. Keep acting like you know no one.
• 1:00 PM - At exactly 1:00 PM as determined by the GPS clock, we will open an umbrella at the designated coordinates to signify the start of the flash. You may then converge on the area for the official event. Individual team log sheets will be distributed, BYOP. Sign individual log sheets and drop them in the white geocache log container. There will also be a 2nd large green geocache container for trade items. If you happen to have a Geocaching T-Shirt or Mob T-Shirt please wear it proudly for the flash photo. Then mingle and chat with your fellow cachers.
• 1:10 PM - Assemble for and take group photo. After the photo briefly mingle & chat.
• 1:14 PM - One minute warning is called "It is now 1:14!" Four log slips will be pulled, one for the FTF honor and three for the door prizes. Clean up and prepare to leave.
• 1:15 PM - LEAVE the area immediately! Log entries sealed & closed. If you missed the signing you missed the event. THE END.


** FILL IN YOUR LOG / SIGN IN SLIP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND PUT IT IN THE WHITE PAIL **

ONE LOG IN SLIP PER INDIVIDUAL CACHER OR CACHING TEAM - please also write down the number of people in your team on the slip as well.

It is important to listen for instructions since it is a quickly timed event. Things need to happen as they are scheduled!!

There will be printed copies of this ultra-precise itinerary distributed at the event as well as geocaching brochures for the curious muggles.

For those who haven't cached the Cleveland area, you're in for a treat before and after the event. For those who have, there will most certainly be new hides for you to seek out. Stay tuned. Check the local area map

In your "will attend" log, please post the projected number in your group.





Here is a sneak preview of two of the unactivated geocoins that will
be 'raffled' off at 1:14, using your team log/sign-in slips of paper.

Time is short so the 'raffle' will be done in a flash!!!

We also received an unactivated Ohio Canals geocoin
from an anonymous source that will be 'raffled' off as well.

So make sure you fill in and drop your
log / sign-in slip of paper as quickly as you can!
