Everybody has a different way of waking up in the morning. Here's a way to start out your morning, by gathering with a like minded bunch of people to swap stories about geocaching over a cup of Joe.
It's the first Saturday of the month, summer is in full swing and we're in the middle of a long holiday weekend, celebrating the birthday of the United States.
Come on down and grab a cup of coffee and spend some time shooting the breeze with other local geocachers. You'll be able to trade travel bugs and just hang out for awhile while you recharge your batteries with your favorite type of morning beverage.
This event will be held in the Colonies Crossroads in Upland in the open patio area surrounding the fireplace. There is a nearby Starbucks where you can get breakfast items and your favorite coffee beverage. The event will start at 8:15 AM and end somewhere around 9:30 in the morning. You'll still have plenty of time to do whatever you wanted to do for the rest of the day. There should be plenty of parking for this event.
SPECIAL COVID-19 INSTRUCTIONS: All attendees should wear a face covering and practice physical distancing, and stay home if feeling sick.
Please check this page the day of the event to make sure it has not been retracted.
We kindly ask that attendees not travel from areas of higher risk tiers to attend this event.
