And So It Begins - Hurricane Season III Event Cache
fraygirls: We'd like to thank everyone who attended this gathering for helping to advance our pathetic superstitious belief that this event somehow keeps the storms at bay. Guess we'll find out in November!

June is a significant month for the people of the Cape Fear region.
Memorial Day is a thing of the past and the school year is just
about over. That's right – the official start of the Atlantic
hurricane season has arrived and it won’t be long before The
Weather Channel reporters start hanging out at Wrightsville Beach
(although they really belong in Brunswick County, the oft-cited
"area between Wilmington and Myrtle Beach")! What better time to
have a hurricane preparedness lunchinar with all of our fellow
cachers?
We'll meet at the usual place at 3:00 for some lunch and a
discussion of our best hurricane-related strategies and tactics.
We’re curious - how often do you watch The Weather
Channel’s Tropical Report? What do you do when a tropical
system approaches…what irrational purchases do you make at
the grocery store at 2:30 a.m.? Do you actually fill the bathtub
with water? Do you worry more during the el niño years or the la
niña ones? What will you do to protect any caches that are nearby?
We’ve been lucky the past few years, but one can never be too
prepared for the occasional tropical disturbance!
We're hoping that folks will celebrate the start of the tourist
season with us downtown, enjoy a few hours of Cape Fear caching,
and then join us for this potentially informative event. (Who could
possibly forget last year's lesson on the many uses of Wonder Bread
during an emergency?!) Weather permitting, we'll meet outside on
the patio. Otherwise, we'll be in our usual spot in the back room.
We hope to see you (and your best hurricane coping strategies)
there!
Be sure to study your hurricane trivia - we will be giving away a
storm-themed cache to one lucky hurricane expert!
Has anyone else noticed that this region HAS NOT seen
one major tropical disturbance since we've started holding this
event? Coincidence? We think not!
