Geocache Description:

19 August 2023, 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 third Saturday of the month. Wait a minute, these are usually held on the first Saturday. What gives here? Well, this is a bonus coffee event to celebrate today being International Geocaching Day! By attending this event, you can earn the International Geocaching Day souvenir.
Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

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.
 
International Geocaching Day
This event will be held in the Village West in Claremont in the open patio area west of Indian Hill just south of 2nd St. There several different establishments where you can get breakfast items and/or your favorite coffee beverage. 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. 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.
