Memfis Mafia: And just like that, the table is cleared, the chairs are pushed back in, and another Supper Club night slips quietly into the logbook.
This event marks the close of our first Pasco Cachers’ Supper Club gathering—and the beginning of something we’ve been wanting to build for a long time.
Years ago, when we were caching in Colorado, events weren’t just calendar placeholders. They were where friendships were forged. They were where strangers became trail partners, road-trip co-conspirators, and the kind of people who would answer the phone when someone said, “So… I have an idea.” Many of our closest friends in the game didn’t come from finding the same cache—they came from sitting around tables like this one, telling stories and laughing about past adventures.
When we landed here in Florida, we realized something pretty quickly: life doesn’t slow down on its own. If you wait for the perfect time to build community, it will always be next month… or next year… or someday. And in the meantime, those opportunities quietly pass by.
So we decided to stop waiting.
The idea behind Pasco Cachers’ Supper Club was intentionally simple: pick a place, pick a time, pull up a chair, and talk. No agenda. No presentations. No pressure. Just geocachers sharing stories—from legendary finds and unforgettable DNFs to travel dreams and the kind of plans that usually start with, “This might be a bad idea, but hear me out…”
Because let’s be honest—we’re always getting mixed up in some kind of geocaching scheme. Cruises. Long road trips. Big ideas that require a few extra hands and a healthy sense of humor. And those plans don’t work without people. Good people. The kind you meet face-to-face, laugh with, and slowly realize are exactly the sort of folks you want standing next to you when things get interesting.
This night reminded us why events matter. Not the numbers. Not the smileys. The conversations. The camaraderie. The sense that you’re part of something bigger than a single cache page.
If you were able to make it—thank you for helping us kick this off in the best possible way. If you missed it, don’t worry… this was only the beginning. The Supper Club will continue, and we’re looking forward to many more tables, many more stories, and many more questionable plans hatched over good food and better company.
Because life will always be busy—but if we don’t make time for community, we lose the very thing that makes this game special.
Archive the event.
Keep the conversations going.
And start recruiting… we’ve got ideas.
