Geocache Description:

Everybody has a different way of waking up in the morning.  Here's a way to start out your morning, by gathering with a like minded bunch of people to swap stories about geocaching over a cup of Joe. 


It's the first Saturday of the month, and the Christmas season is upon us. Come enjoy a cup of coffee with us before you start out on your caching or shopping 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 the Starbucks in La Verne at 1181 Foothill Blvd. 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, be it shopping or more geocaching.
