Geocache Description:

The 12th Annual Lacy GeoCaching Event


You and your family are invited to the 12th (or is it the 13th) annual GeoCaching Event by the Lacy Family.

At the Nancytown Group Campground which is located in the Lake Russell Wildlife Management Area near Cornelia, GA. Create and enjoy your favorite cook out food, mixed with some GPS fun thrown in. Then spend the night if you want.

Last year 2013 was suppose to the the 12th Lacy Event, however the Federal Government closed the Campground at the last minute due to the government shutdown. So unless there is another shutdown this year, this event will be all day Saturday Oct 4st 2012 beginning at 10am until dark, or overnight if you like.

Now all activities are optional. You can take part in just one or two or any combination or all of them. If you just want to stop by socialize for awhile that is fine.

Each person or group is asked to bring a sack lunch. Don't forget to bring your coffee and donuts, for Sunday morning.

For Saturday night there will be potluck meal, each family or group is responsible for bringing their own favorite camp food and cooking skills for you or your family to enjoy. We will eat around the evening camp fire that we will have for everybody to enjoy. We will set around the fire and tell some tall tails, and maybe somebody will tell a scary story.

You should try to bring everything you need but civilization is close by. There are toilets in the campground. Unfortunately there no water here. You can either bring it with you or go to the Lake Russel Campground and get some there.

If you are real gun ho outdoor people, you are invited to camp with us overnight either Friday or Saturday or both. Things to bring will include heavy bed cover because the nights in Oct. mountains may be cool or hot. Bring your tent and camping gear, and join the fun. Come prepared for the weather.
