Geocache Description:

OK, maybe it IS Rocket Science - just a little, what with the satellites and 14 digit coordinates and all. Maybe I should have said "It ain't Brain Surgery"...

Gather at 11:00 am, eat at 11:30 am and visit as long as you like afterwards.


But not so fast. You have to do a puzzle to locate the event (or look at the hint - it's a spoiler), so maybe brain surgery IS in order for some of you!

So, WHICH eating establishment are we meeting at? Well, you can use the puzzle clues below to zero in on your destination, or you can look at the hint and skip all the drama. Worse case, you can travel to the posted coordinates and visit all the restaurant offerings until you find the right crowd.

Every year, after Christmas, new caching names begin showing up on the found it logs. So this event is for saying hello to the newcomers. When a new player logs one of your hides, send them an email, welcome them to the game, and invite them to the event.

Here are the puzzle offerings:

1. From the posted coordinates, travel 229 feet on a reverse azimuth of 336 degrees.

2. On the day of the event, look for Travel Bug 509375.

3. Billy Joel lyrics:
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends on your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our _ ??????? _ Restaurant.

4. At the front door, look UP for the red dawning.

5. And for you mapping wizards:

6.71 miles from GCTK4M's final location
and
12.53 miles from GC17FYM's final location
and
9.1 miles from GCZGA1's final location
and
1.17 miles from GCMWW0

Event Rules of Engagement:

1. Bring an appetite.
2. Find the event location.
3. Meet and greet the crowd.
4. Sign and date the event log. (No log or no date = NO SMILEY)
5. Don't forget to tip your server.
