Geocache Description:

23 September 2023, 08:00 - 09:00

I am creating an opportunity for those challenge seekers to meet and greet and earn 75 points towards the final Wheel of Challange.

Since it's the day of the Autumn Equinox,come and enjoy the company of other geocachers. 

 

When will summer end and the cooler days of fall begin? The autumnal equinox—also called the September equinox—arrives on Saturday, September 23 at 2:10 am EDT. I don't plan on being up awake at that time so I am setting this event to a time that more people will be awake. 

There are several breakfast and coffee places to chose from near GZ. Parking is plenty.

This will be a outdoor event. There is a covered area if we have rain.
