Litter Bit Better in-person social (outside), Monday October 7th
6:15 - 7:30 pm
This is the first time Rochester is running a fall edition of Litter Bit Better, so we're going to go clean up a second time this year. Pine Ridge Estates Park, which you may recognize as where we have previously ice cream picnicked, and flown kites. Map
Bags provided. You bring your own gloves, grabbers, and sense of civic duty. No shoreline, yes woods (mowed park + woods = 5.1 acres), and you might want a headlamp.
As usual we are teaming up with the geocachers to avoid being overwhelmed by garbage.

Lunch at RochesterFest. We'll be sitting at a picnic table on the far side of the tent from the music, to hopefully lower the decibel level enough to still talk.
Food trailers are supposed to be open by noon, 11:45 am will give us a little better chance at getting parking.

Geocaching! The March equinox is an excuse to find 3 geocaches during the week of the equinox. If you've never geocached before, this is a great time to join us. Wear your hiking shoes, long sturdy pants, and otherwise dress for the weather.
We will chase 3 multi-caches that start to the east and north of St Marys Hospital https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6G6R5 https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5XDH0 https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5XEQV
If we have any DNF's, first choice replacement will be: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC56K4K
I skimmed through the logs, and none of our regulars seem to have found these, so hopefully everyone will qualify for the achievement.
Parking: There is a limited quantity of 2 hour parking in St. Marys Park proper. However, the neighborhood parking permit restriction opens back up starting at 5:30, so by starting at 6 pm you should be able to park on the street (and not be competing with employees for spots) for the duration of our explorations.
Virtual Technical Meeting: Thursday March 14th
Speaker cancelled due to illness, will reschedule.
Tim Massaro will come to our rescue, and will present on his Partyrock/Blackrock hackathon project, as well as brainstorming some future socials.
