The
Plan
The event will begin
precisely at
10:00am on
Saturday, November 8th.
An Orange Bucket full of Nice Swag placed on ground zero will
signal the start of the event!!!
The event will be facilitated by volunteers. If you'd like to be a
WWFM volunteer, please contact us (podcacher@gmail.com) and let us
know.
Prior to the start time, mosey and wander about non-challantly ...
Then when the bucket is set down ... converge on the Ground
Zero!

AFTER the event is officially over, feel free to meet up at the 1st
waypoint.
You can use this opportunity to make plans with other geocachers
for brunch or caching in the neighborhood.
If any muggles are curious about the event we will have a volunteer
hand out fliers that explain geocaching.
NOTE: After we announced the chosen WWFM IV
date to the world (and event planning was already in process around
the globe), the annual Ocotillo Wells desert camp-out was published
for the same weekend. We regret the conflict, but we couldn't
change the date at that point. If you can't make it out to the
desert, please come and join us for a fun, fast event.
METERED PARKING is available in the nearby lot. A quarter
will buy 12 minutes, so you should be able to park for less than
$1.0
There are sure to be several muggles
nearby who will wonder "What did I just see? What just happened?"
That's part of the fun!!!
