Geocache Description:

15 January 2022, 08:00 - 09:30

Come one, come all and start the new year catching up with old friends and making new ones. A hot meal, and good company on a snowy cold winters morn, what more could one ask for? Whether you're new to geocaching or an old pro come on out and grab some grub and share your caching stories with fellow geocachers. Then, if you are so inclined, head on out and find a cache or even make a day of it. You might want to team up or go solo and find a bunch of caches :)

Breakfast in the Blustery Burbs (BBB) began in 2005 in Bolingbrook IL at a time when events were quite rare and I thought it would be nice to get together with friends. We started with 69 hearty folk on a snowy day and it's continued ever since. Periodically the location has been changed to keep things fresh, this year we're heading to Bloomingdale IL for a change of scenery.

When:
Saturday, January 15, 2022
from 08:00am to 09:30am

Where:
Golden Corral Buffet & Grill
154 S. Gary Ave
Bloomingdale, IL 60108
Phone (847) 641-5148 (Aquiles D. Manager)

Gratuity:
We ask that each adult attending drop $1 in a tip jar which will be located at the sign-in table. The tips go to the servers who work our area at the end of the event.

Trackables:
Trackables which will fit in a regular sized container are welcome and will be assured to move on from the event. Large trackables are the responsibility of the person who brings them, you must find someone who agrees to be responsible for moving them on.

Other Activities:
At the main event we'll still have some door prizes, geocaching related donations appreciated. An evening Flash Mob event hosted by Siamese Retriever with FTF caches available.

  • Door prizes at end of main event (geocaching related donations appreciated)
  • 5:00 PM 10th Occasional Flash Mob in the Blustery Burbs event hosted by Siamese Retriever with at least 13 First To Find opporuntities.
  • Simplifying this year so no photo contest, CITO nor Warm Up event.

Will there be snow?:
Maybe the right question is; will there be a polar vortex? Through the history of this event we've had a foot of snow within 24 hours prior to the event twice, temperatures below zero once, an absolutely lovely day once, and the rest were a mixed bag of cold windy days. That's the point of the event, the worse the weather the warmer the food and fellowship will be.
