A Small Casual Get-Together (Pizza)
When I found out that I would be coming to Albuquerque, I decided to look and see if there would be any Events along the way. I didn't see any listings but then I remembered one that I had seen listed in Seattle, by a Cacher that was going to be visiting for a couple of days. I'll only be in town for two nights and I thought it would be cool to meet some of the local Geocachers (and I'll need to eat anyway, so why not host my own?).
