May 2025 Event at Sweetwater Creek State Park

Despite less than optimal May weather, we had a great time at Sweetwater Creek State Park at our May 2025 event.
We announced upcoming events, updates for the best cache contest, and the ongoing travel bug race.  We were excited to have first time GGA event attenders.
The "Mill Ruins" is the historic focal point of this park.  So what better way to recognize this than building a "Mill Ruins" structure out of popcycle sticks?
The competition was strong. Glad to see that everyone brought there UV flashlights in order to decode their prize numbers.

Be sure to log your "Will Attend" for the GGA's 24th Birthday party at Tanner Park on June 14 from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm.

March 2025 Event at Chattahoochee Bend State Park

We had a great time at Chattahoochee Bend State Park in March.  The weather was not very cooperative, but weather has never been known
to distract a group of geocachers. Thanks to all who came out and participated!

 

What did we do? Well....

  • We held a great CITO prior to the event. Thanks to everyone who helped!
  • We had a number of first time GGA Event attenders!
  • Announcements were made about future events.
  • Tony the Park Naturalist gave a great presentation about the wildlife of the park and the many artifacts that have been
    found, including unique tools made of stone, arrowheads, and much more.
  • We celebrated milestones.
  • TFreck was announced as the winner of the 2025 GGA Coin design contest!
  • A new pathtag trading board was introduced.  This will be present at each GGA meeting going forward.
  • We hiked to see a resident Bald Eagle's nest.
  • Some extreme cachers braved the weather and hiked  5 miles round trip to find the official State Park cache.
