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 again and so it's time to come out and have a cup of coffee with us. Today is Derby Day and Cinco de Mayo, so you can get your coffee, enjoy the morning and still have time to watch the Kentucky Derby later in the afternoon.

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 the Colonies Crossroads in Upland. The event will start at 7:30 AM and end somewhere around 9:30 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.
