Geocache Description:

02 March 2019, 08:00 - 09:30

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. Winter is almost over and Spring is just around the corner.  What better way to meet and greet your fellow geocacher than with a beverage and geocaching talk?

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 Upland at 2129 W. 16th Street, where the 210 Freeway crosses over Baseline/16th St. The event will start at 8:00 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.
