EARLY NOTICE FOR A FALL EVENT:
It's Friday the 13th again!  

October 13th, that is - second one of these in 2023 ;)

Hubby and I used to have regular Friday the 13th parties; haven't had one in quite a while now :(  Instead, hoping to see my geobuddies out and about :)

STILL THE PLAN
(as of early August 2023 - watch this space closer to the date in case there are any changes):

Stop by to chat with fellow cachers and enjoy the lake view.  Get yourself a snack/late lunch/early dinner nearby, bring your own, or just hang out.  Bring trackables to share/send along if you like.  Don't let them fall in ;) 

Target is the lower level - or wherever the comfy chairs are (they move them sometimes).  There are usually tables also.

Dress for the weather:  might need a hat/sunscreen - or a jacket.  Or umbrella.  Or all of those.  October in NoVA could be just about any weather.  If it rains a lot, we'll try for the outside deck at Cafésano adjacent to this.  Duck(s) optional. 

With this lot, allow a few minutes to park.  There are plenty of parking spots but the center gets busy and the lot is awkward and can be a bit nuts. 

From the parking lot, walk toward the gap between shopping strips.  There are stairs or a ramp down to the lake view. You may not be able to see the meeting spot from the lot, depending on where we gather.

No boats or swimming or wading actually required - unless someone falls in (please don't!) or if you live nearby and use your boat to meet up with us. 

Lots of caches within a long walk/short drive, including a bunch of challenges and at least a couple that take an hour or so of walking from their starting points.

As usual, please don't attend if you have or have recently been exposed to COVID or the flu, etc., or if you're feeling sick in general.  We'd rather see you when you're feeling well.
