Lunchy get-together at the usual Wednesday time and place :)
More weird naming, to help with goofy grandfathered challenges.
We might be INSIDE *or* OUTSIDE this week. If it is a nice day, *please* grab the outside tables nearest the corner, on the side facing away from HT. Nice would be maybe 50ish or warmer, not pouring, and not windy enough for the cold-averse CO to be shivering. If we're inside, grab that high, long table in the middle if it's available. Doggos are welcome outside but not inside.
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.

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. Distancing is easy when we're outside; inside, not as much.
