A Holiday Flashmob Event in Golden Gate Park! Starts precisely at 10am and ends at 10:30. When logging your RSVP, it would be helpful to indicate (although not required) what kinds of cookies you are bringing so we can have a variety. This is the seventh annual San Francisco Geocaching Holiday Cookie Mob. Thought this would be a good busy place to get a few "What the..." glances from the muggles. Looking forward to meeting lots of SF geocachers! Cookies, cachers, and Cache-mas!
IF IT IS RAINING- check the recent logs by Mickey4Jes to see if you need to go to the alternate coordinates for Foley's Gazebo! Mickey4Jes will post if it's moved! In San Francisco- foggy mist is not rain- it's just San Francisco.
Remember, since it's a flashmob event, you should be wandering throughout the park "blending in" up until precisely 10am. Please do not congregate!!!
Who doesn't LOVE COOKIES!? This event is a holiday cookie exchange event. Please bring 2-3 dozen cookies to be swapped. The more you bring, the more you can swap for! You'll start out with just your own, but should go home with a plethora of different types of cookies.
What to Bring
- 2-3 dozen cookies
- an empty tupperware container to swap your new cookies into
This is a Flashmob event, so it is important that everyone follow these instructions precisely. It is recommended that you get to the event early and mill around the park like a muggle, as flashmobs require very precise timing!
Schedule:
At precisely 10am
We will appear carrying a container for TB/coin swaps and some milk/cups to share. When we place these on the table, that'll be the signal that the fun has begun. This is also the time to be swapping TBs and coins.
At 10:05, we will gather around a bench and take a group photo.
At 10:10, we will begin swapping of cookies. Please bring an empty tupperware container to swap INTO and use your existing tupperware to swap OUT. Please use a napkin while we're around the cookies until you have selected them all.
At 10:30, the event is over. Walk off in a random direction, dispersing in varying directions as if nothing had happened!
Enjoy your cookies!
If you're not a cookie baker, bring some other type of holiday treat that can be swapped (at equivalent value to a cookie of course).
NOTE: This is a family friendly event, so please leave any "adult only" cookies at home

Collect the clues from each of the first 12 caches to find the final puzzle cache- Finding Santa Cache (12 Days of Cache-mas)- GCBFNBJ The geocaches in this series will be found on this bookmark list as they are published. So the day of this event, you'll be able to find the first geocache in this series!
