Geocache Description:


This is the 10th Anniversary of the World Wide Flash Mob. To celebrate this occasion, Geocachers around the world meet for a spontaneous flash mob that only lasts 15 minutes, at exactly the same time. Events have already been scheduled in Ireland, Canada, France, Belgium, etc. A flash mob is a gathering of people that perform something out of the ordinary and then disperse suddenly. This should make lots of people curious and wonder what just happened. If you participate in this event, then know that you were part of something worldwide. The goal is to have 100 countries participate this year.

History: WWFM – World Wide Flash Mobs – A fun and friendly way to promote geocaching around the world. Thousands of geocachers at dozens of coordinated events spanning the globe, gathering at the same time. Sonny and Sandy of the Podcacher Podcast came up with the WWFM idea in 2007 after attending a mega-event. It was meant to be a fun "opposite" of a mega-event: all the cool aspects of a geocaching event, crammed into 15 minutes of excitement. An added dimension is represented by the letters "WW" - World Wide - these events occur across the planet on the same day at (mostly) the same time! These caching events are intended to bring geocachers together in a creative way, as well as introduce others (newbies) to the hobby.

Time line: 12:00 PM: Assemble at the coords, Sign Log, 12:05 PM: Group Photo. 12:10 PM: First to Find Drawing. 12:15 PM: Disperse.

Besides involving geocachers and occurring around the world on the same day, each person logging an "Attended" receives a WWFM Geocaching souvenir for their profile.
