Thanks to help from geocachers around the world, we deciphered the intergalactic communication we received last week.
Here is the message:
Hello, earthlings! We have come across a reference to “Geocaching.com” on a metal creature roving the planet Mars. It seems this ‘geocaching’ is an activity meant to further exploration and community. We would like to better understand this interesting human activity and we are traveling to Earth to learn more. We only hope we’ll have enough fuel in our spaceship to keep exploring!
We’re excited to take this opportunity to further intergalactic friendship an host our first intergalactic Geocaching event!
Our friends from outer space are here and having a blast geocaching, but now they need our help. Their spaceship is running out of fuel, which they need in order to continue exploring other planets and galaxies. Luckily for us, we’re able to help them by doing what we do best: geocaching! The fuel their spaceship runs on is positive energy and what better way is there to build positive energy than getting together with friends at this event!
Join us on a Cosmic Quest July 25th as we help our friends fuel their spaceship.
After event interductions we will...
*Discuss the Cosmic Quest promotion.
*Announce upcoming events.
*Guest announcements.
*Have a raffle for prizes.
