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 Sunday of the month and people are getting ready to spend time with food, football and family. Wait a minute. Sunday!???? Yeah, let's just say it's not going to work on Saturday this month, so let's all meet and enjoy a fresh brew of your favorite beverage while sharing stories with other geocachers doing the same thing on a slightly different day on the weekend.
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 at the Starbucks in La Verne at 1181 Foothill Blvd. The event will start at 8:00 AM and officially end at 9:30 in the morning, but there may be some lingering on after that. Either 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.
