3-2-1-Countdown 'til Eclipse Event Cache

To continue my Countdown 'til Eclipse series of events hosted since February, I thought I'd have one Friday outside Hopkinsville's new Visitor Center at Trail of Tears Park. 11:30a-noon.

This is a low-key meet-n-greet: no formal activities. When a town of 50,000 hosts what might be 50,000+ visitors from around the globe for an out-of-this-world solar eclipse show, there's bound to be some geocachers among the masses.

Why not come and put faces with names you'll see on logs out there? Time may be just right for out of town guests looking for something to do as they wait for hotel check in.

Socialize and sign the log. Why not make a new friend or two and grab a few smileys together? There are several caches in the park. Lots of caches in Hopkinsville and surrounding communities.

Additional parking areas nearby are noted (besides limited parking at the Visitor Center). Parking may be your biggest challenge while in town this week/weekend. Hopkinsville has a small transit system which hopefully will be increased for all the festivities around town. Our motto should be “be flexible – be safe – have fun.” Wear a hat and carry drinking water.  It can get hot in the month of August.
