Who we are:
We are the geocaching club at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL). The club was formed in 2006, and we are group of dedicated cachers who enjoy all that the hobby has to offer. JHUAPL is, by the way, where satellite navigation all got started!
Who should come:
Anyone! Everyone! Especially you! All are welcome, no matter if you have one find under your belt, or thousands. Events are great opportunities to meet fellow cachers, swap stories, meet the folks whose hides have been tormenting you, and generally have fun.
Event details:
Groundspeak is conducting a "7 Souvenirs of August" campaign to get folks to try all of the aspects of geocaching. More details can be found here:

As one of the souvenirs is for attending an event, we thought we'd host one to make it easy for you! If you don't know what a Groundspeak souvenir is, you may want to check out the link below, so you can find out why you are in such dire need of additional pixels:

But hey, don't blame the pixels, they end up wherever we place 'em! Maybe you care about souvenirs, maybe you don't, but show up anyway! Maybe this is a day you need a find on the calendar; maybe your working on a streak; maybe you just need a break from work at lunch. Well, we're here for you, come on out and join us!
We are hosting a flash mob meet and greet near our campus, come out and meet us and enjoy a few minutes of camaraderie with your fellow cachers, gain your Groundspeak souvenir for attending an event on this date, and discuss where you might like to get a travel bug to go.
As soon as you arrive look for the guy with a pony tail wearing a white cowboy hat (Zekester if you already know him). He'll have the log.
There will be a group photo before we break.
Parking:
There is parking to be had nearby, either behind the nearby (north side, or event side) white building that is up for lease (please use marked spots), or at the Thai Sophia Institute. Please be respectful of our neighbors, and do not block either the driveway to Thai Sophia, or Montpelier Rd. There is a JHUAPL shuttle that regularly uses Montpelier Rd. that needs to continue to transit.
Hope to see you there!
