Geocache Description:

02 July 2022, 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, summer is in full swing and we're in the middle of a long holiday weekend, celebrating the birthday of the United States with lots of "safe and sane" fireworks.

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 La Verne at 1181 Foothill Blvd. The event will start at 8:00 AM and officially end at 9:30 in the morning, but there may be some lingering on after that. Either 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.
