Geocache Description:



 

 

‘Conclude before commence’ event?
 

YES

This event will END before it STARTS! 
(Well, sorta)

 

WHEN - November 3, 2024. 1:45am DST to 1:15am EST (see hint)

WHERE - Sheetz. 7970 Linglestown Road. Easy on and off from Route 81 at the Route 39 exit. 

WHO - All night owl geocachers and muggles interested in the game. Those who work second shift can stop on the way home.

 

Arrive very early Sunday morning when the event starts at 1:45am. Sit around, share your geocaching stories, discuss your DNFs and enjoy a snack, right up to the time that the event ends (?) at 1:15am. 

You may even be able to return home - before you left. 

Confused yet? Of course you’re not. It’s that time of year again to change the clocks. 

 

“Really”??

“I’m not staying up that late”.

“Are you kidding? 2 o’clock in morning”?

“I’d rather be counting sheep”.

“I’m not getting up that early”.

“This is a joke, right”?

 

No joke. Just a silly, friendly get-together. If nobody shows up… the 2Vs will have a cup of coffee, a cup of tea and a few donuts. But in the future, we’ll be able to say “We attended an event, that ended before it even started”.

 

Management is aware of our gathering. No purchase necessary.
