Geocache Description:

OCTOBER 5, 2023
EVENT STARTS: 6:30PM
EVENT ENDS: 7:00PM

Registration, Store, and helpful Information at goingcaching.com

The Seven Viking Clans have united and are preparing to storm the streets of Rome! Gather near the river, form up with your Earl and Chieftain, and then show the Roman citizens what it means to be Viking!

Viking costumes are encouraged, but caching clothes are fine (unless you mind standing out in a crowd of Vikings). During this meet and greet event, Viking Clans will group up and prepare to march up Broad Street. If you have not registered in a Clan, please do so at goingcaching.com/register. The parade begins when this event ends at 7:00PM. The parade route is just over a 1/4 mile and ends at The Desoto Theatre. The Roman Rose Trolley (30 seats) will be available to those who have difficulty walking the parade route. Once the parade is over, the trolley will shuttle geocachers between the two designated parking locations (see parking coordinates below).
