Geocache Description:

BRUNCH @ BLACK DIAMOND MINES

Hosted by:




Join us for a morning of fun, finds and friendly company at the picnic/staging area of Black Diamond Mines Regional Park. Nestled in the rolling foothills between Mt. Diablo and San Joaquin River, Black Diamond Regional Park is a geo- and Earthcache rich area with plenty of recreational excursions (hiking, nature watching, mine tours, historic cemetary).

Come spend your day finding the diverse caches in and around the area. Whether you enjoy multies that lead you on a hike, large caches full of awesome swag, or clever micros, Black Diamond has something for all. Plus, there are several existing geocaches within short walking distance of our event.


Our mid-morning brunch will provide many opportunities to meet new friends and ‘geotalk’. We will provide plates, cups, napkins and forks, and ask everyone to bring their favorite brunch item to share with others. Be sure to bring a chair or blanket to sit on as there are only a few benches. Also bring your own drinks.

We have prepared GeoBingo, many exciting door prizes and our popular "Thieving Muggle Exchange* along with a geocoin/travel bug exchange. While at the park, you may want to discover the coal deposits, sand mines, visitor centers and Rose Hill Cemetary, in addition to the miles of hiking trails.

As you arrive sign the log book and you will receive your ticket for our exciting door prizes, along with your GeoBingo card. Your completed bingo card will earn you BONUS tickets for our door prize drawings! Plus you can drop off your “geo item” for our Thieving Muggle Exchange.

Our location is easily accessible by car and on level ground. The park kiosk is normally unmanned and there is no entrance fee. Everyone is invited. The park is great for singles, families and children. We look forward to seeing you there.

We are asking each person to bring a ‘geo’ related item for the Thieving Muggle Exchange. It may be new, recently loved or custom made, with a value no greater than $10.00. Custom made caches are especially encouraged, along with high quality swag. Please decoratively wrap or bag your item to retain its secrecy.
