Welcome to Berks County's premier Geocaching Event! This event occurs monthly every Third Wednesday. Check the page each month to make sure you have the correct coordinates. (The first Third Wednesday occured on March of 2005; WE'RE NOW ON OUR SIXTH YEAR!!!)
This coming month, Third Wednesday is:
at Horselady9’s home-Three Bays Farm
1273 Rickenbach Road Reading PA 19605
What is Third Wednesday?
Third Wednesday is an informal gathering to talk geocaching and just socialize. It's a great way to get hints about caches that stump you, meet the faces behind your favorite caches (or the diabolical ones) and pointers for hiding your own caches.
Where is Third Wednesday?
It bounces around from month to month, so make sure you check back and get the most up-to-date coordinates. We choose restaurants in and around the Reading/Berks County area. This month we are trying something a bit different.
Who comes to Third Wednesday?
Everyone does. If you're a veteran cacher or this is your first one, it doesn't matter. This event is always friendly and laid back. The "crowd" tends to be more adult, but families join in too so there are usually a few youngsters at each event participating also.
When is Third Wednesday?
It's not the first or second Wednesday, always the Third Wednesday of each month. More specifically, we start at 5:00 and usually carry on till 7:30 at the earliest (sometimes we stick around till 8:30). If you can't make it for exactly at 5:00, no problem. You're not considered late unless you arrive after everyone has left. It isn't uncommon for cachers to show up after 7:00 with the majority of cachers coming in around 5:30 to 6:00. Extra things to keep in mind: If you pick up a Travel Bug or trackable coin at one of the events, make sure you log it out so it doesn't show up in the events list. If a trackable sits as being listed in the event for a couple of months, the cache owner is the one that gets the e-mail from the TB owner(s). The bill for what you eat sometimes comes as a whole group bill, but mostly it is done by table. The bill will usually be tallied depending on where you are sitting when you order. It helps to have cash for the event since not all places will do a partial bill on a credit card. Since we are a large group, gratuity is included on the checks and is 15% to 18%. It is usually listed on the check with the tax amount. Please make sure you include that when you pay.
This THIRD WEDNESDAY will be a BBQ, POOLSIDE at Three Bays Farm from 5pm-8pm. The main menu will be the usual summer faire, hamburgers, hot dogs, and corn on the cob. If you would like to bring your favorite dish to share, that would be great!! Please post if you are attending and also if you are bringing something to share, of course not a mandatory requirement!!!
DON’T FORGET YOUR SWIMWEAR AND TOWEL!!
And of course like any cache…this is rain or shine!!!
