The Plankin' Pirates' Poem:
I can walk like a pirate
I can talk like a pirate
I can plank like a pirate
But I don't want to walk the plank

 


Meeting place is intended to be the *outside* tables by Weird Brothers (their new location), weather permitting.  BUT - if the weather is really bad, or if the parking lot is being redone (and smelly!) as it was for our Apollo 11 event in July, we'll retreat to the the Worldgate lobby (which is very airy and has lots of seating).  If inside, look between the Panera/Weird Brothers entrance and the escalator/elevator.  If there are lots of us, try to get the huge sofa closer to the movie theatre (not visible from the doors to the outside).

This event has coords with all digits 0-9 for those challenges.  Coords should put you inside the lobby near where we're meeting.

 


Weird Brothers says we are welcome. For more info on Worldgate overall, you can look them up online.

Fairfax Connector bus schedule

Plenty of surface parking out front.  There's a parking garage to the side/underneath if you prefer (if so, you can come up the escalator/elevator directly into the lobby).

 


If you might have COVID, the flu, etc., please skip this one and get together with us when you feel OK/are clear. Thank you for helping your geo-buddies out :)
