Helloooooo, August! 

A likely hot, summery, lunchy get-together at our usual Wednesday time & place :)

Enjoy the potentially muggy summer day with your geo-buddies (or buddies-to-be) :)  Come solo, with your Plus One, or with other folks you know - family, friends, neighbors, work buddies.  New cachers and the caching-curious are definitely invited.  All ages are welcome.  Bring any trackables you'd like to have discovered - or removed from your possession.  Hats, umbrellas, personal fans optional.  Sunscreen probably not necessary unless you're caching before/after - there are seats in the shade.  We might end up calling this "Sweatin' with the Oldies" ;)  The CO does love summer, drips aside.

There are multiple options for sustenance in this center should you want to get yourself a drink or additional edibles.  No obligation to eat/drink either way.  Event runs at least half an hour; maybe a bit more if folks feel like sticking around when the weather's nice. 

Meet at the outside corner tables if they're available; else look around for us nearby if that space appears to be taken by muggles.  Under an awning(!) in case of liquid sunshine (ie. rain) unless the weather is really awful (like super windy and/or pouring rain).  Otherwise, dress for whatever the weather.  Distancing is easy here.  Should have pretty good protection from UV under the awning.

Facilities:  Plenty of parking, with space enough for RVs/trucks.  Restrooms inside the corner food place, at least one other food place, and the grocery store.  There are public bus stops within a few blocks, along Route 50.  Gas station near the traffic light.  Hotel across the street.

Corner edibles place has been happy to have us use their outside tables.  Here's their info in case you need it.
Corner Bakery

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

* The place at this center to get treats for your doggo has sadly closed :( Doggos are not allowed inside the corner location.  CO did not ask about doggos being outside under the awning.  CO's doggo will not be at this event.
