early March lunchy get-together at the usual Wednesday time and place :)
It's 2025! Come hang out with us on another not-too-mathematically-exciting day of this square new year and talk about freeze-thaw cycles. Going out and hiking/camping/kayaking in the mush? Taking long road trips to scenic views? Planning trips for when it gets warmer? Foregoing anything that's more than a few minutes outdoors and just doing indoor events? Share your stories.
Today's date? 31/51/452; nothing special mathematically AFAIK. Ditto Euro style, 51/31/452. Or in more sortable terms, 4523151... Unremarkable in any order, unless I've missed some cool reference aside from piano notes (from finger positions). I picture it as
New cachers and the caching-curious, family, friends, etc. are welcome. All ages. Bring any trackables you'd like to have discovered - or removed from your possession. CO may not stick around for long after the official end this round (because errands), but they're not super time-dependent so if you're running late just PM the host.
We will be INSIDE unless it's incredibly unseasonably warm out (like 60ish) *and* not too windy or rainy or snowy. So basically, inside unless we have a false-spring kind of day. Or false-summer, as we've had a couple of in recent years.
If inside, grab that high, long table in the middle if it's available or else the banquette seating near there.
If we are somehow outside, the tables closest to the outside corner. Doggos are welcome outside but not inside.
Be there to be square ;) Because it's that kind of year and we're that special.
There are multiple options for sustenance in this center if we are outside and you'd like get yourself a drink or additional edibles elsewhere. Please don't bring outside food/drinks in if we're inside.
No purchase required and no obligation to eat/drink.
Facilities:
Plenty of free parking, with space enough for RVs/trucks. Restrooms inside the corner food place, at least one other food place, and the grocery store. There are public bus stops within a few blocks, along Route 50. Gas station near the traffic light. Hotel across the street.
Meeting place has been happy to have us. Their info in case you need it:
Corner Bakery
3903B Fair Ridge Dr
(703) 934-8703
As usual, please don't attend if you have or might be coming down with COVID, the flu, etc. or if you're feeling sick in general. We'd rather see you when you're feeling well. Distancing is easy when we're outside; inside, not as much.
