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, summertime is almost here and kids are getting out of school for that long break. 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 at 1202 E. 20th St. in Upland. 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 if you want to bring your pooches to the event.
