OK. That's enough of that
It's the first Saturday of the month and fall is in the air. Football is in full season, the days are getting shorter and Halloween is just around the corner, so it's time to enjoy a cup of coffee with us before you start out on your caching journey for the day.
Come on down and grab a cup of coffee and spend some time shooting the breeze with other local geocachers. You'll be able to trade travel bugs and just hang out for awhile while you recharge your batteries with your favorite type of morning beverage.
This event will be held at Starbucks at 9015-A Central Ave. in Montclair. The event will start at 8:00 AM and end somewhere around 9:00 in the morning. That way, you'll still have plenty of time to do whatever you wanted to do for the rest of the day. There should be plenty of parking for this event and there's a nice outdoor patio if you want to bring your pooches to the event.
