A big thank you goes out to the Maumelle Park for their generosity and facilities. Please take time to THANK a Park Employee when you see them at the event.
Please come and be part of the adventure at the Annual ArkGeo Event and discover what makes the Arkansas Geocachers Association so much fun.
This event is for Everyone who enjoys geocaching in Arkansas, regardless of how many years you've been caching or the number of smileys you have! Match a face with a geocacher's name, talk about some of the favorite caches in our state, or come enjoy the lunch we put on for you. We will list new information here as it becomes available, so please check the cache page often for updates. The picnic shelter (#GS03) is ours for the entire day and we will gather even in the rain. Plan to spend the entire day, since the fun continues with free time to cache from 2-5:00 pm, followed by a CITO/Hotdog Roast Event beginning @ 5 pm and running till 8:00 pm.
PLEASE BRING A 2-LITTER BOTTLED DRINK OF YOUR CHOICE TO SHARE FOR LUNCH. CHECK THIS CACHE PAGE OFTEN FOR UPDATES, OR BETTER YET, PUT IT ON YOUR WATCH LIST.
