This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin: “Georgia State Parks has decided to archive all of the existing caches on their current GeoTour. They will be launching a new updated GeoTour, that will be going live Monday February, 8th.

If you are still completing the old system, have no fear, you can still complete our old GeoTour while starting our new one. The stamps are no longer in the caches, however we printed out the corresponding letters and pasted them inside the new geocache boxes. Write these letters down on your old passport and email a picture to ParksRFun@dnr.ga.gov to receive the coins for the old GeoTour.”

Geocache Description:

General Coffee State Park
Cache information: Steward: AngelMay3 Park: General Coffee State Park Cache type: Traditional Coordinates: N 31º 30.947' W 082° 45.576' Difficulty: 2 Terrain: 1.5
Cache Description: This is a very simple 3 stage multicache hidden along the East River Swamp Trail. The initial 2 stages will be very easy to locate. The posted coordinates and the ammo can at the final will be found hidden in an atypical manner. After leaving the geomobile at the parking area the listed coordinates for the cache will lead you to stage one and the trailhead just a few steps away. The coordinates for the second stage and the final are posted on plaques provided by “Friends” of the park. At Stage two you will find a similar plaque indicating the coordinates to the final, but who gives a “hoot”. After a ¾ mile hike you finally made it to the final but you won’t find the cache among any land dwellers. Hope you enjoyed the short hike and beauty of the swamp.
