Texas GeoCampers @ Goose Island State Park
We are a group of geocachers who hold monthly events touring the great State Parks of Texas! Our group will camp in a different Texas State Park every month. For this event, we will be camping in the wooded area campgrounds, and we have reserved the entire area for the weekend. Our events typically have activities and ranger-led events, allowing us to experience all that Texas has to offer! This GeoCampers event is planned for the weekend of July 13th, however some camping geocachers will begin arriving on the 12th to take full advantage of the weekend's camping and caching opportunities! You don't have to camp to attend, but camping is highly encouraged!
