This is a meet and greet event. Please come and meet other participants of this game. This event is on a date in history which affected this small town of Dahlonega, GA. This town has a gold minining history starting in1828. That year, Benjamin Parks , while deer hunting, kicked a yellow stone. He had found gold and the first gold mint for US coins was startedin Dahlonega. Dahlonega is a Cherokee word for "yellow rock". We will fast forward to August 19, 1848,when the New york Herald published the California gold rush story and the Georgia miners went west.Please come and share your stories of searching for geocaching treasures. One treasure will be the digital souvenir for International Geocaching Day for all who attend. See you there.
