WWFM
V
"WWFM" stands for the World Wide Flash Mob
event
Preliminary
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.)
Dozens of events all around the world,
coordinated to happen at the same time to bring together geocachers
and introduce others (muggles) to geocaching.
You've heard
of: MEGA-EVENTS?
This is quite the opposite in a variety
of ways. Sort of like a micro-event.
FLASH MOBS have gathered for other reasons.

Come
be part of this historic experience!
EVENT DETAILS
The event will begin
precisely at 10:00am on May 2, 2009 and will last EXACTLY 15
minutes, not one second longer.
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.
- 9:59 AM - Make your way to the
designated event coordinates shown above. Keep acting like you know
no one.
- 10:00 AM - At exactly 10:00 AM as
determined by the GPS clock, we will blow a whistle at the
designated coordinates to signify the start of the flash. You may
then converge on the area for the official event. Loot bags will be
handed out with a nametag and crayon, informational flyer with a
minute by minute itinerary, candy snack, Individual team log sheet
and pencil. Sign individual log sheets and drop them in the marked
geocache log container. There will also be large orange containers
for SWAG, travel bugs, and CITO. Then mingle and chat with your
fellow cachers.
- 10:10 AM - Assemble for and take
group photo. After the photo briefly mingle &
chat.
- 10:14 AM - One minute warning is
called "It is now 10:14!" FTF honor and door prizes will be
verified and announced. Clean up and prepare to leave. Wait for
it......c'mon we said wait! OK - GO!
- 10:15 AM - LEAVE the area
immediately! AMSCRAY & SKEDADDLE! Log entries sealed &
closed. If you missed the signing you missed the
event.
FTF honors, group photo, geocoin
raffle, flash meal, personal memento, and other details will soon
be posted by ProjectFred325.
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
Kitsap area, you're in for a treat before and after the WWFM 5
event. Port Orchard and surrounding towns are a great opportunity
to grab more caches. For those who have cached in the Kitsap area,
you will be happy to know that there are new hides for you to seek
out. Within a 5 mile area there are over 160 caches!
Within one mile of the WWFM 5 event
is another event!

WWFM.
