Happy Valentine's to my Geo-buddies!
Lunchy get-together at a slightly earlier time but the usual Wednesday place :)
More weird naming - will add links to relevant challenges later; want to get this submitted in time for approval.
We will be INSIDE this week (that high, long table in the middle) unless it's unseasonably nice out. If it is a nice day, *please* grab the outside tables nearest the corner, on the side facing away from HT.
New cachers and the caching-curious, family, friends, etc. are welcome. All ages. Bring any trackables you'd like to have discovered - or removed from your possession.
There are multiple options for sustenance in this center should you want to get yourself a drink or additional edibles. No purchase required and no obligation to eat/drink. This eatery does not serve naan AFAIK. Remains to be seen if anyone ingests nanites.
Distancing is easy when we're outside; inside, not as much.
Here are some of the many challenges this event might help you with:
* animals: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC40JB6 in California (alpha)
* colors: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC572DY in California (64 Crayola colors)
* "gas": https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5B4X8 in Indiana
* "ville": https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC44G8G in Kansas
* has a pair of parentheses: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC3YXHD in South Dakota
* ends in 'v' https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4BGQB in MA; <-- whoops; that one says no events count. Well, there are MANY other reverse-alpha challenges, including one in PA
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.

As usual, please don't attend if you have or might be coming down with COVID, the flu, etc. or if you're feeling sick in general. We'd rather see you when you're feeling well.
