It's the first Saturday of the month and spring is right around the corner. The Wake Up and Smell the Coffee events have now been around for 24 months. We've become a Legacy. Come 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 the Starbucks in San Dimas, Bonita and San Dimas Ave. 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. If it's cold or rainy, we will be inside however.
