Geocache Description:

Sunday March 9
1:00 AM TO 3:00 AM
(Yes, that's in the morning)

Davisburg Rest Area

I-75 Northbound Exit 96

This event is being held at the northbound rest area. I have contacted the rest area and they have confirmed that the building will be open and that it is ok for us to gather for the duration of the event.

Let's break it down...
This event is scheduled from 1 AM to 3 AM. At 2 AM, clocks will roll forward 1 hour for daylight savings time becoming 3 AM. The only time during the year where 2 hours on the clock is only 1 hour of real time.

Group picture to be taken promptly at 3 AM.

~~Let's get together and share some stories. We can talk puzzles, coins, travelbugs, challenges, events, tags, or anything else caching.~~

Or... more importantly, let's talk about how daylight savings time affects caching. After all we lose an hour in the spring, but we get it back in the fall (without interest... but that's another story) giving us a 25 hour day. Just food for thought.

Everybody's welcome. Arrive when you can, Please stay until the group photo.
