Where: Noodles & Company
When: Tuesday, February 9, 2016
Time: 6:00pm to 9:00pm
Why: To open The Swag Capsule after Five years of waiting!
Please note: There is ample surface parking available, however there is a small fee. Additionally parking is available at the Pentagon City Shopping Mall, see waypoints for garage parking. For those interested the event is also just a short walk from the Pentagon City Metro Station.
On February 9th I will have been caching for seven years. To celebrate this day we will be opening the "The Swag Capsule" - a Geocaching Time Capsule.
The Swag Capsule was launched on February 9th, 2011, five years ago, at an event just like this at this same location. Many who attended the event brought items to place inside to be sealed up for five years. Since then the Capsule has been traveling around to events and being discovered because it is also a Travel Bug.
The Capsule itself is a five-gallon bucket. In a way a kind of tribute to the Original Stash by Dave Ulmer.
As mentioned the Capsule is a Travel Bug! "The Swag Capsule" So if you haven't discovered it yet be sure to do so at the event! Once the event is over the Capsule will be retired and then disappear forever (probably into the back of my closet where it will become a catch all for any miscellaneous geocaching stuff I collect).
The container will open at 8:00pm and we will raffle off the contents (For free while supplies last!) to all who attend.
