1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Where:
Hager Park
276 East Memorial Boulevard
Hagerstown, MD 21740

Why:
To learn about geocaching, trade travel bugs and geocoins and share yummy food and fun. Those who wish to may also do some geocaching before or after the event.

Extra things to keep in mind:

  • If you pick up a Travel Bug or trackable coin at one of the events, make sure you log it out so it doesn't show up in the events list. If a trackable sits as being listed in the event for a couple of months, the cache owner is the one that gets the e-mail from the TB owner(s).
  • Each person attending will be responsible expected to bring a dish to share as well as supply their own drinks.

 FTF honors go to??? Congratulations!!!
