Geocache Description:


We are happy to be at F.D. Roosevelt State Park for our first campout in 2019!

Did you get those same old pesky geocoins and trackables again for Christmas? Then bring them to FDR where geo trackable enthusiasts from around the world will be camping out for the COINAPALOOSA II and you can trade your old trackables for some shiny new geo trackables.

Our camping event will offer a choice of activities due to the large crowd so everyone can enjoy their evening. This doesn't need to be said but, you'll see some of the MOST COVETED geocoins during the day, like the one and only, official COINAPOLOOSA geocoin. But at night at our event, who knows what geocoins your lantern will illuminate. And, who knows which geocoins players will use to get anted up in our big GG-C Geocoin Poker Game! --> *RESERVE your chair for poker in your log.

Some camping geocachers will be arriving on the 1st to take full advantage of all the Geocaches, and to find / trade / barter geocoins while they explore Georgia's largest state park. The only state park in the US with several equestrian only geocaches.

F.D. Roosevelt is a beautiful and presidential themed state park, with lots of must visit POI's.

CAMPERS
We will have our very own loop in the campground (area #4) reserved for us. (tents and hammocks only) We have all the amenities of regular campsites (water, electricity) and a comfort station in our reserved loop.

**NOTICE FOR CAMPERS**
Please do NOT make reservations with FDR State Park. You WILL need to reserve a camping spot with your "will attend" log. Simply stating, "reserving 1 camp" will get you a spot. The camping fee is $25 per couple/family for the weekend (Friday and Saturday nights).

OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS
