The location is the same as last year, a very nice recreational
facility located behind the Dumfries-Triangle Fire Station on Rte.1
just north of the main gate to the Quantico Marine Base. It’s
ours from 9 AM till whenever we care to leave. It features a
covered pavilion, a built-in grill stocked with propane,
children’s play area, volleyball and basketball courts,
electricity, a sound system, and indoor plumbing. There will be
good food, games, door prizes, and music.
The listed coordinates are for the parking area. You need to
enter from Old Triangle Road, which runs behind the fire station
and parallel to Rte. 1. From the south, get off 95 at exit 150,
Triangle/Quantico and bear right on the ramp. Go through the
intersection at Rte. 1 as if you’re heading on to the base,
and make the very next left onto Fuller Heights Rd. Then take the
next left onto Old Triangle. The entrance will be on your left
about a mile north. From the north, take exit 152A, Rte. 234
towards Dumfries. Turn right onto Rte. 1, left on Graham Park Rd,
and right onto Old Triangle. Entrance will be on the right. A sign
will be placed there to make it easier for you to find us.
We’d love to see lots of old and new friends, including
members of other Geocaching clubs, visiting geocachers, and any
friends or family you care to bring. Kids and pets are welcome, and
the entire area is fenced in so you don’t have to worry about
them wandering off. You may arrive any time after 9 AM, and lunch
will be served around noon. Meats for grilling, condiments, plates,
napkins, eating utensils, and cups will be provided. Please bring
along a dish to share…desserts, veggies, salads, snacks and
such…and your beverage of choice. Please let us know what
you’ll be bringing with your *Will Attend* log so we can keep
track.
A bookmark list of area caches will be posted to this page if you'd
like to get in some hunting. Keep checking this listing for
updates.
This event is rain or shine. The main pavillion is well sheltered,
so we can still have lunch and a good time no matter what Mother
Nature sends our way.
See ya’ there.
