This cache has been archived.

Webfoot: Thanks to everyone who attended. Next coffee meet and greet is, depending upon where you're going to be, either in Grand Junction, Colorado, Salt Lake City, Utah, or LaVerne. LaVerne's the closest one, but the other two are earlier than October 7th.

If you're in Grand Junction on the 20th of September, or Salt Lake City on the 23rd, feel free to come by. If not, then I'll hope to see you on the 7th in LaVerne.

Geocache Description:

02 September 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 first Saturday of the month, fall is almost here as evidenced by the beginning of the N.F.L. season starting next Thursday. Let's all meet and enjoy a fresh brew of your favorite beverage while sharing stories with other geocachers doing the same thing.  

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.


This event will be held at the Starbucks in San Dimas, Bonita and San Dimas Ave. 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 where we will be meeting, so if you want to bring your pooches to the event, you can.
