Ever wonder what those "event" caches with a little speech-bubble icon are all about?
With a name like "event", it seems like it should be a bit more formal, and well maybe it should be, but that's not the way we roll here.
This event is a bunch of folks with something in common getting together for food, drinks, and conversation.
So, if you've been caching for years or maybe you just started, events are a great place to learn more about our obsession (er, hobby, sport, pastime, etc...).
Want to learn about geocaching? Want to know where all the cool geocaches are? Or maybe just meet the person behind those devious hides out there? Come on out and join us!
We will (likely) be the rowdy group at one big table, eating lots of Goode sauce (because it rhymes with Ross). August 20 is World Mosquito Day, an annual observance of Sir Ronald Ross' discovery of how one of our geo-nemeses is involved in the transmission of malaria. Look for trackables and maybe GPS units or other sundry nerd-like-paraphernalia on the table.

South Paw Gadget Bird House Series #3
A roach surprised me when I pulled the first wall away. I brushed it off or thought I had. I learned that I had missed it when a second grade girl scout screamed nearby. Thinking a deadly spider was about to bite me, I launched the board into the woods and did my instant ninja dance. I settled down and recovered the board when Eric1701 said, "Roach!" I also realized there wasn't a girl scout nearby.
More roaches greeted us when I removed the second wall. Eric was beside himself, stomping furiously as the creatures fell to the ground. I laughed and laughed! He insisted I go first and threatened to use his geocaching skills to hide my body if I allowed a roach to get him. I thoroughly inspected the apparatus before making the plunge; I’m not fond of roaches myself, but more importantly, I’m pretty familiar with Eric’s hiding skills!
I’ve never seen or imagined a cache like this. So cool! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, especially laughing at—with— Eric. +1 fave point.
Thank you, sfcacher360. God bless! 2 Corinthians 5:21

Conn Seal's Cursed Goblet (AKA myrthman’s Mary Hyde Geocoin)
At events, this is a full-sized geocoin in celebration of myrthman's completion of the Mary Hyde souvenir campaign in the summer of 2017. Howe'er...
If ye find it in th' wild, 'tis a copytag anchored to the black spotted goblet of one Conn Seal, former first mate 'n' consort of the dread piratess Mary Hyde. It canno' resist sailin' from one cache t' another. Whate'er ye do, drink not from the goblet!! YE BE WARNED...
