Come Celebrate on July 27th! ~ ExGld

Hello Explorers!

A joy I wasn’t expecting in preparation for our 10 year anniversary party (July 27th), is the flood of happy memories as I go back through the archives of photos. For example, I found documentation of one of the first explorbs we ever encountered:

Look at our confusion! Look at those explorers safely watching from afar! This is a reminder that our anniversary celebration is on Sunday, July 27th, 12-7pm! Though we’re breaking up the festivities into two parts, each location is within a very short walk of one another. So come for part or all of the fun.

From 12pm - 3pm we’ll have a bit of a picnic at Balboa Park. Let’s enjoy the outdoor space with a bit of sun and some field games. On deck we’re planning to have the Timber Tortoises, some heroic rope games, and the giant dung ball from Adventure Camp. There’s also a chance to see some of the Oakland gnomes in San Francisco! If you care to join this first part, bring a picnic blanket and a shareable snack. Don’t fret too much about these details though, we mostly want to see you!

Then from 3 - 7pm, we’ll move the party indoors to the Ocean Room (350 Ocean Ave, SF). Here we’ll have some additional games, Explores Guild Archives, and story time. If there’s a Field Guide missing from your collection, or you just want to take a closer look at some of the builds from past events, we’re planning to have these here too. This is also a great time to let us know what you want from the Explorers Guild in the future.

All of these locations are near Balboa BART Station, and we highly suggest riding the train if you’re coming out. There is of course street parking, but who can resist the lure of a train ride?!?

With 10 years of exploration and adventure there’s a lot to celebrate and of course stories to tell. So mark your calendars, and come join us on Sunday, July 27th 12pm-7pm for our 10 year Anniversary celebration!


Hot on the heels of the Anniversary Party we also have another curio event (Cable Car to the Beach) on Saturday, August 2nd as well as next outing (Transit Nerd’s Day Out) on Saturday, August 9th. Both of these feature some fun times with public infrastructure. More information on these will be coming in the next week.

Semper Explorandum Explorers!!
