Geocache Description:

07 May 2022, 08:00 - 09:30

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 again and so it's time to come out and have a cup of coffee with us. The days are getting warmer, the Spring Fling is later this day and believe it or not, the movie STAR WARS is about to celebrate its 45th anniversary later this month.  Now, don't you feel old?  Come out and enjoy a brew of either hot or cold cafienated (or not) beverage and talk geocaching.   

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 Starbucks in Glendora at 1832 East Route 66 #A. 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 if you want to bring your pooches to the event.
