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 again and so it's time to come out and have a cup of coffee with us. It's the "Dog Days of Summer,” International Geocaching Day is coming up in two weeks, and the Cosmic Quest is in full swing. What better way to meet and greet your fellow geocacher than with a beverage and geocaching talk? This event will earn you three fuel credits for Cosmic Quest.
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 in the Village West in Claremont in the open patio area west of Indian Hill just south of 2nd St. There several different establishments where you can get breakfast items and/or your favorite coffee beverage. 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.
