Itinerary:

Let's go hunt for some urban micro geocaches - the HAM (Hockey Arena Micro) series, numbers 8-13. We will meet at Tim's and decide who is going where. One car will go hunt for 3 of the caches in the east and southeast and the other will find the remaining 3 in the north and west. Little or no hiking is required, making this a pretty kid-friendly, but not so dog- friendly event. We will then reconvene at Tim's and grab some lunch. With info from each found cache, we will figure out what the coordinates for the final one are and will all go together to find it.

Extreme stealth is necessary so as not to give the microcache locations away to muggles (hence the small number of people).

For info on just what exactly a geocache is, see geocaching.com.
