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, March Madness is almost over and Spring has definitely sprung. Let's all meet and enjoy a fresh brew of your favorite beverage while sharing stories with other geocachers doing the same thing.
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 at the Lucky's Coffee Roasters at 665 E Foothill Blvd Suite B in Claremont. The event will start at 8:00 AM and end somewhere around 9:30 in the morning. That way, 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 and there's a nice outdoor patio where we will be meeting, so if you want to bring your pooches to the event, you can. Please keep in mind that if it's cold or rainy, then we will be inside.
