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, Fall is right around the corner, and football season is here. Let's all meet and enjoy a fresh brew of your favorite beverage while sharing stories with other geocachers doing the same thing.
Come on down and grab a cup of coffee and spend some time shooting the breeze with other local and not so 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. Or just sit and shoot the breeze. There is no need to purchase any food/beverage to enjoy ourselves here.
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.
