One of the reasons why geocaching in GA is so great is our relationship with the Georgia State Parks. In 2021, a new GeoTour was launched which included brand new caches at all 45 parks! The parks were divided into 4 regions (Mountains, Lakes, Plains and Swamp). There is a passport for the tour and if you collect 9 codewords from a region, you can submit your information from the tour to earn a souvenir coin. For your challenge this period, we are going to focus on the Lakes region. 

There are 12 caches in the Lakes region for the GeoTour. For this challenge, we will be focusing the word lake or synonyms of lake. Using any type of cache (including Adventure Lab), you will need to find caches that contain one of the following words in the cache title:

  • Lake
  • Pond
  • Pool
  • Sea
  • Creek
  • Spring
  • Bay
  • River
  • Shoal

These words can be used in singular or plural form and may be part of a larger word. 

Wanderer level: Find three caches with any of these words in the title.

Seeker level: Find six caches with any of these words in the title.

Explorer level - Find twelve caches with any of these words in the title.

Adventurer level - Find twenty-four caches with any of these words in the title.

Bonus options - Available for all levels

  • You may substitute 3 caches by attending the November GGA Event (GC9H2K5) on 11/13/21 at Skidaway Island State Park.
