It appears we are shaping up to have a most excellent weekend in NW Georgia.

Friday Night Future Chief is hosting a Smore Party at Sloppy Floyd State Park.

Saturday we will meet at 12:00 for a hike.

That will end at: Rock Town.

Don't forget to load the Earth Cache also.

Look forward to seeing you all somewhere that weekend!!

A little bird told me you might want to check the area for new hides on the morning of the hike. Or was that a bee? Anyhow, no promises, tho.

On the cache page it says the coosa valley cachers are providing the lunch, but on the gga page it says the cattahoochee valley cachers are providing sandwiches.

So no one should go home hungry then!
Thx for the correction - it's Coosa Valley folks all the way.

Oh, and thanks for looking at the web page!

To someone who has been to Rock Town, how much parking is up there. should we encourage car pooling from down by the main road??

I will have room for 2 from Sloppy Floyd and back.

If your at the Smores Party then some arranging can happen then!!

There should be plenty of parking in the 'lot area'. There is also parking on the in coming road.
There is also a camping area just down the road on top of the mountain past the turn off to Rock Town parking. Also at the bottom of the mountain just past the parking area for Pettyjohn's Cave.
All camping is primitive!

1 more week until some SMORES!!

Hey, check THIS out incase you missed in in the advanced placement thread. Looks like a lot of great stuff will be happening at Sloppy Floyd next weekend.

Come on out and learn all about going coastal, swap cards if ya got them, or order yours up.

Cant wait.... A full weekend of fun with friends and Kinsey Bug.

we'll probably make so much noise that the hunters will be scared away just like the animals!!

haha - possibly. Bowhunters normally hunt from treestands. Their effective range is anywhere from 0-30ish yards. They'll see you coming a long way off and know you're not a deer. Dawn and dusk is when most bowhunters will be out.

Can you guess what I'll be doing 9/10?

Rifle hunting is a different story. (but I'll still be hunting with a bow.)

After we all bushwacked from "Rock Town" down to "Rockin' Between the Creeks" every deer up there is probably now in the next county.

Man, that was a fun day!

Jim

The hike was a blast !! Thanks to everyone who had a part in organizing it.

Thanks to the Coosa Valley Cachers for the snacks. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!!

We had a blast ourselves!!!!!

I really think we need to do this kind of meeting more often!

We missed ya phat! I checked with Trez* to make sure you were OK.

Hope we can see you soon.

If there is anyone who was unable to complete the earth cache during the hike, please contact the cache owner. we have gotten a email from her offering to help anyone who was on the hike to complete the cache!! Thanks to better half!!
