A monthly get-together for all Waterloo Regional (and beyond!) Geocachers and Visitors to the region. From 8:00 am to 9:30 am - come out for some food, fun and caching chat. Get some great caching ideas and maybe some help on those hard to find or solve caches!
I was researching the history of April 14th and couldn't come up with anything very cheery..... here are some of the significant and intersting things that happened on April 14th. I'm more inclined to call it "Go back to bed and start again tomorrow" day....
-

1865 U.S. President Abraham Lincoln is shot
The assassin, John Wilkes Booth, wanted to revive the Confederate cause, mere days after their surrender to the Union Army, bringing the American Civil War to an end. Lincoln died the next day.
