We are happy to be at F.D. Roosevelt State Park for our first campout in 2024!
Did you get geo-trackables for Christmas for just being nice? Or are you ready to rid & barter away your collection? Then this event is ideal for you. Bring those geo-trackables to FDR State Park where the biggest geo-trackable enthusiasts from around the world will gather for the annual
COINAPALOOSA VII event. This event will take 'Camping' to the next level! And you might even happen up on some bartering taking place at several unofficial bartering locations. The underground networking of the geo-trackable collectors are hard to track!
Our camping event will offer a choice of activities due to the expected large crowd - so everyone will enjoy their evening. Due to the overwhelming amount of past and present geo-trackables, this doesn't need to be said, but you'll see some of the MOST COVETED geocoins during your visit during the day. But at night, at our event, who knows what geo-trackables your lantern will illuminate.
Some camping geocachers will be arriving early to take full advantage of geocaching in Georgia's largest state park. The only state park in the USA with equestrian only geocaches.
F.D. Roosevelt is
a beautiful and presidential themed state park, with lots of must visit POI's.
