Grand News -- Hobo and Miss Return! Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

Two Grands: We would like to thank all the geocachers who braved the cold weather to attend our little event to welcome Hobo and Miss back to Port Alberni.

We would like to thank Hobo and Miss for including our community on their regular tours of the area and giving us an excuse to gather for chatting and company for the evening.

To all the cachers who thought they might be able to attend - but then life got in the way - you were missed this evening. I must also mention you missed your opportunity to receive the coveted collection of Reindeer Poop that was available this evening only. So Sorry.

As this is being archived on New Year's Eve day, we would like to wish one and all a very Happy New Year. May your year be filled with many caching days with good friends and happy times together and may you have enough 'finds' to keep you happy but also enough 'did not finds' to keep you lovingly humble.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

All 'adult' geocachers are invited to the Sports Time Pub at the Barclay for a fun meet and greet. The area has two steps up so chair bound cachers would need some assistance here.

Geocaching friends Hobo and Miss frequently travel from afar to BC and one of their stops is usually in Port Alberni. How far is far - well, Great Britain - that's far to come for a cuppa' or even for a pint! I think it is the local cachers and their hides that keeps bringing them back...

As in the past, they plan at least a one night stop in our fair city to cache, visit with friends from previous stops and look forward to meeting new cachers/friends. We will all have the opportunity to come and say hello, have a cuppa', or maybe a pint, or maybe even something to eat on this no host night. You come, and it is your choice.

The fun really comes with the chatting with everyone, learning how and where of hiding caches 'over the pond' - well, they drive on the other side of the road, so where do they hide their caches over there? You will just have to come and find out, I guess.

They may even have a little room for a few TBs to join them on their return trip, but if you have a few to show and share for evening, bring them along. We all like to look at pretty shinny things.

Just for the record - this is not just a gathering for cachers that have found many caches and hidden dozens. It is for those cachers, yes, but it is also planned for YOU. Come and chat with the friendly, helpful folks who will gather for a while. Come and ask your questions about a cache you can't find, or just come and find out what geocaching is all about. This is a no stress, game free, evening. We would love to have you join us.
