WWFM VI: Fall Classic

GC204XE World Wide Flash Mob

Today's event was great. WWFM's were the brainstorm of Podcachers Sonny and Sandy. Today's WWFM was created by The NVG. Creative and fun and only 15 minutes long! We had an on-looker on a red bike for a few minutes. Judging his expression, I think he may have been confused by the large amount of people having some wholesome fun with T-ball on a little dinky field.

I've mentioned event caches and caching events before (among other posts, see events from this summer and 2007's geo-breakfast). I cannot emphasize the fun of events. The coolest part of today's event was having the MVP of today's game, Weaky6, (also a homeschool family) win the title of FTF for THREE caches. He couldn't have claimed three FTF's if he hadn't attended the event!

WWFM and E911

Today, the kids and I attended a World Wide Flash Mob. It was fun. We could have done without the wind (this evening is very mild -- same temperature, but no wind). Over sixty folks attended for 15 minutes.

Afterward, we switched out a log book for Ode to Everybody Loves Ray, GC138QR. While turning the car around to leave, we saw a marker with six digits, accompanied by text that read something like, "Call 911 in an emergency and say these six digits." I paid particular attention to this because the Urbandale Parks and Rec Director asked for help with her city's proposed E911 trail markers. Very weird, because the digits did not correspond to anything familiar to me. The kids and I could not figure out what the numbers were referring to. Not similar to any of the coordinates of my nearby cache. Even though it is her turn to talk to me, I think I'll get in touch with her this coming week.
