Going Coastal: GGA November Meeting Event Cache

This cache has been archived.

GaGeoAssn: It's time to put this one to rest. Thanks to all who attended and helped make this a special event. Thanks to Johnnie for dreaming it up and putting a great group of cachers together, to put it on for everybody to enjoy. Thanks to all of the volunteers, especially "the waysiders" and "LZ33" , they were Johnnie's right and left hands in pulling together a fantastic group. Hopefully we can do it again next year, I hear the Savannah cachers are fantastic hosts.!!
