Geocache Description:


I am moving this event to Biggby Coffee, 660 Chicago Drive, Holland, MI. I am submitting a request to change the coordinates to:
N 42° 47.799 W 86° 4.689
I have also adjusted the time. It's Monday, October 27, 2025, from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

I didn't realize Deboer Bakkerij South is closed on Monday. 

No purchase is necessary. If the weather is good, we can sit outside.

I am bringing a few extra items to this event to give away. I'll have two versions of the new Flashtags from pathtags.com, as well as some NFC (near-field communication) tags. The Flashtags are an exciting new offering from pathtags.com, complementing their ever-popular Fathtags. NFC tags are an exciting development in Ventura County Geocaching. I'll give a couple to anyone who wants them, along with instructions on how to program, protect, and reprogram them.

This is the eleventh time I will host an event while traveling to Michigan to visit family.

I know these events are on inconvenient days and at inconvenient times, but I squeeze them in between family time, and it's a large family.
