All around the world Geocachers have coordinated a 15 minute meeting that will happen at the same time on this day to bring Geocachers together and introduce others (newbies) to the world of Geocachers. The event will last EXACTLY 15 minutes, not one second longer. OK MAYBE JUST IN JAGA LAND A FLASH MOB
A flash mob is a term used to denote a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment and/or satire. The first flash mob was created in Manhattan May 2003, by Bill Wasik. The first World Wide Flash Mob (WWFM) event was the Worldwide Pillow Fight Day (or International Pillow Fight Day) that took place on March 22, 2008. Over 25 cities around the globe participated in the first "international flash mob", which was the world's largest flash mob to date. Stay in your car or walk around, you need to act like you don't know anyone. At 10:59- Make your way to GZ still acting like you don't know anyone.

After the event is over, plan to meet up with other geocachers later to spend a fun day caching and checking local events! If you haven't been in this area before, there are quite a few caches in the near vicinity and many more within a few mile radius. Have fun! We are sure there will be several muggles nearby who will wonder "What have I just seen? What has just happened?" (That's part of the fun of a Flash Mob!) If you aren't prompt you could miss it. If everything goes right we will have several people converging on one spot for a 15 minute geocaching event and then disappearing. This will be a lot of fun and maybe even raise a few muggle eyebrows.
