Geocache Description:

Come join us at Memorial Park for a pre-eclipse gathering from 9:30 am to 11 am.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Be sure to come prepared with eclipse glasses or other form of eye protection. Come by and enjoy the company of fellow cachers from Western Nebraska as we all prepare to experience this historic event. Come on over and meet up with fellow cachers and enjoy a lazy morning waiting to view the eclipse.

We will be having a snack potluck. Bring your favorite snack and let us know in you log below. Hope to see a big crowd there.
