Geocache Description:

Welcome to the 2016 WGA Geo-Campout.

This year we'll be spending the weekend at the Kettle Moraine State Forest—Southern Unit.


The Main event will take place on Saturday, May 14th from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.


While daytrippers and Hotel/Motel campers are always welcome, to get the full Geo-Campout experience you need to sleep outdoors in the park.

The WGA has reserved a group campsite for tent campers (sorry, no trailers or pop-ups) that are available on a first-come, first-serve basis (60 campers max). Camping is not required.

 

This event is hosted by the Wisconsin Geocaching Association for you.
Come join the fun here:

The event will be based around the DJ Mackie Shelter.

Pinewood Group Campsite D
N42 57.722 W88 27.211.

Friday night at 8 pm and Saturday after the Night Caches (9:30 ish) come join us for s'mores and a campfire.
