Geocache Description:

10 June 2023, 09:00 - 10:00

Question: What should every geocacher carry with them at all times?

At least one PEN!

(or maybe one pen, and a backup pen, and a backup-to-the-backup pen smiley)

 

Let's gather for a quick, quirky event and celebrate

 

 National Ballpoint Pen Day

(Who knew this was even a thing???)

Event Details

Date: Saturday, June 10, 2023

Time: 9:00am - 10:00am 

Place: Hopefully the coordinates are good, but the HINT will tell you the exact address. This is a fast food restaurant with a covered, outdoor seating area.  Unless it is raining hard, we will meet outside.  Inside seating is available, but it is a bit loud in there.

Parking: There is parking at the establishment.  If it is full, there is a grocery store parking lot down the hill with ample parking.

What to bring:

  • A fun geocaching story about that time you didn't have a pen with you and how you managed to sign the log anyway.
  • Your opinion as to which is the BEST writing instrument for signing logs.
  • An honest answer to the question, "How many pens do you carry with you when looking for a cache?"
  • Your sense of humor and your thinking cap as there may or may not be a Pen Quiz.
  • Money if you want something to eat or drink (no purchase necessary, but NO other food or drinks, please.)
  • A good measure of grace as this is my first time hosting an event!

 

Hope to see you there!
