Geocache Description:

'Secretariat crossed the finish line an amazing 31 lengths ahead of My Gallant and Twice a Prince in a show of speed and endurance horse enthusiasts had never seen. Turcotte (the jockey) later said of the race, “I know this sounds crazy, but the horse did it by himself. I was along for the ride.”' ...  visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/STRANGE.Geocaching/

 


Second Thursday Royersford Area Neighborly Geocaching Event (STRANGE).

The event is being held at a familiar location, the Collegeville Diner at 290 Main Street, Collegeville, PA or at the above corrdinates.  The event starts when 'the computer' arrives at 5:30PM and goes to 8PM.  If you can't make it for exactly at 5:30, no problem. You're not considered late unless you arrive after everyone has left.


Join the international hobby, sport, affectation or become a convert to geocaching (it’s a FAMILY FRIENDLY activity - all are welcome).
Participation and membership to STRANGE like Geocaching is FREE.
We ask that you RSVP/Log your attendance by, Monday, June 6th - Number in your party and your home location.
However everyone is invited to "crash" our event. Many new attendees start to pick up some finds before the event, it's even better if you go as a group! There are several great caches and cache sites nearby!  We always have our core followers and a constant inflow of new faces and names from as far as 150 miles around!

STRANGE is an informal gathering to talk about geocaching and just socialize. It's a great way to get hints about caches that stump you, meet the faces behind your favorite caches (or the diabolical ones) and pointers for hiding your own caches. STRANGE is where you can share your exploits, bring collections of coins, bugs - swag, and the like, give away items - anything that you think are fun, interesting or want to share. We will have a display, trade and trackable swap/take table.  Donations to the door prizes are welcome. There are also some surprise prizes.

If you have a suggestion for an event activity that we can run that night please email the EO immediately!

At this STRANGE cache we will have door prize drawings, a 50/50, STRANGE T-shirts, golf shirts and a FTF prize.  Donations of future door prizes are always welcome.   Hope to see you there!

The 'new' STRANGE pathtags should arrive on or about 5/27/2016 and be available for sale at the event!

All actions to be voted on at the event will be published and a paper ballot be presented at the next event.
