Geocache Description:

Casual, kid- and pet-friendly meet-n-greet at a fun spot in Wells Branch, Texas.

6:30-8:30 PM



No, it's not a math problem. If you read it like this, you may get it correct: Five hundred by 9/5.

This event is a casual hangout at a fun spot to celebrate my accomplishment of finding 500 caches within a year of finding my first. That happened September 5, 2014 in Ringtail Ridge Greenbelt (San Marcos, TX). I was just out hiking with my oldest son. We were chasing a lizard and it went into a hollow at the bottom of a tree. Pulling back some suspiciously placed sticks, I found a small container wrapped in camo duct tape. Having recently installed the free Geocaching app on my new iPhone, I knew immediately what it was so I signed the log and logged the find online later that evening. That cache was "Cactus Tree" GCVPP2. Now, less than a year later I am within 10 caches of my goal, with plenty of time to find the rest before 9/5. Heck, I may finish it today!

I scheduled this too late to be on 9/5. Nonetheless, something must happen. I've met a few local cachers and I want to meet more. Thursday, September 10 is the soonest available date to do just that.

Come to the pier at Mills Pond in Wells Branch, Texas. We'll hang out and swap stories, but no waffles in the morning. Unless you want to. But that will be on your own.

6:30-8:30 PM
