Geocache Description:

Come and help celebrate the 20th year of GEOCACHING. You can also earn a souvenir for attending, eat homemade cookies, receive a free ticket for giveaways AND best of all share your geocaching adventures.

Let’s share TBs to exchange & discover. And send some TBs off to a fall vacation while you are out and about.

We will meet under the big roof of The Green Box Arts Farm Stand, 6990 Lake St, Green Mountain Falls, CO 80819. This is across the street from the historic gazebo on the lake and half way down from the top of Pikes Peak, 14,115 ft. Also, there are multiple hiking trails nearby.

Now that was a blast. We're having limited, socially distant appropriate caching days, and we miss events. So it was nice to attend an event where everyone is taking precautions. We met new cachers - well cachers new to us, not new to caching. I won a very nice regular sized container which will be placed somewhere for everyone to find. Thanks for the delicious cookies and brownies! Off to do the lab caches and grab a few more before returning to Aurora.
Today we woke up early and left Aurora, headed south to Green Mountain Falls for a Community Celebration Event. On the way there was found a few caches. After the event we signed a handful of challenge caches while searching with a group of friendly cachers from the event. Good day with cooperative weather!
Thanks for the cache!

Safe and prudent but a bit of adventuring with good motives is good for all.

I hope and pray I'll be there with many, you know the rest by now, I believe.

Thanks for hosting.

Announcement 03/20/2020 By Geocaching HQ Admin
Geocaching HQ is posting this updated Announcement on all Community Celebration Events.

As the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) situation is evolving rapidly around the world, Geocaching HQ urges all Event hosts and attendees to prioritize the safety of themselves and their attendees.

At this time, we advise Event hosts to consult their regional health authorities to understand the guidance regarding gatherings of people. Generally, Geocaching HQ leaves the decision to Event hosts on whether to continue hosting the Event and to attendees on whether they will participate. In some regions, community volunteer reviewers may suspend publishing new geocaches, including Events and/or may disable, retract, or archive already published Events, in accordance with guidance from health authorities.

We want to allow flexibility for hosts who need to reschedule their published Community Celebration Events due to COVID-19 concerns. If hosts wish to reschedule their Community Celebration Event:

    Create an Announcement log to notify users that the Event is cancelled and may be rescheduled.
    Disable the Community Celebration Event.
    Contact the publishing reviewer to retract the Event.
    Update the Event date.
    Submit listing for publication.
We understand it can be very disappointing to miss the connections that are made at Events. But please remember that geocaching is a location-based game, and locationless Events or virtual logging of Events are not permitted by the Geocaching guidelines. HQ appreciates that the community is so strong that players want to keep in touch virtually and we encourage doing so using other online platforms. Read the Geocaching Blog for tips about how to stay active with geocaching during these challenging times. Thank you for your understanding.

This Celebration is scheduled for 2 months away. I will follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control & Colorado Department of Health & Environment for progression of COVID-19
and their recommendations.
