Geocache Description:

Everyone is invited to the

4th annual GeoCaching Event by the Lacy Family.
Near the highest Lake in Georgia.
Camp out, create and enjoy your favorite cook out food,
mixed with some GPS fun thrown in.

This event will be all day Saturday Oct. 1st 2005 begining at 10am until dark, or overnite if you like. Each person or group is asked to bring a sack lunch. There are no stores for miles. Make sure to bring everything you need including water — civilization is far away. There will be two hikes, one just before lunch, and one Mid afternoon. Both hikes will have some neat sites and some gps finds. There may other hunts near the camp. A drawing for some good door prizes will be after the days hikes, around 6pm. You must be there to win.

We will be camped at Lake Conasauga in the Group Camping Area, called the Ball Field located just 1 mile from the main campground and is a large grassy field where Cherokee Indians once played. It can accommodate large groups of any size. And best of all it is FREE. This area has fire rings and chemical flush toilets. There is NO running water. Be sure to bring water with you.

The main camp ground which is one mile away is a 35-site campground with restrooms and drinking water on the shores of Lake Conasauga. (no fishing this year). These sites cost $10.00 dollars per day.

Each family or group is responable for bringing their own favorite camp food and cooking skills for you or your family to enjoy at the evening camp fire that we will have for everybody to enjoy. After we pig out , we will set around the fire and tell some tall tails, and maybe somebody will tell a scarie storie.
