Webfoot: Getting this one off of the map since the event is now over.

Thanks to everyone who came out for a mid-week coffee event. It was nice to have met you all and if I'm ever in town again, I'll try to set something else up like this.

Happy trails and keep on caching.

Geocache Description:

20 September 2023, 08:00 - 09:00

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.
This is the 7^th installment of a Webfoot Wanderings Coffee Meet and Greet. I'm in town on a road trip and I'd like to meet some of the locals. I figured this would be a good spot to pick up a cup of coffee, meet some of the local geocachers, and possibly trade a couple travel bugs before I hit the road and continue on my road trip.

Come on down and grab a cup of coffee and spend some time shooting the breeze with other local and not so 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. Or just sit and shoot the breeze. There is no need to purchase any food/beverage to enjoy ourselves here.

This event will be held at the Starbucks Coffee located at 2504 Grand Army of the Republic Hwy, Grand Junction, CO. The event will start at 8:00 AM and end at 9:00 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.
