This is your first opportunity to get your mitts on all the marbles in your Going Caching 2021 swag bag. After gathering your loot, you're going to have a swell time meeting up with your gang and plotting your strategy for the remainder of the week. There will be lots of tables set up for trading rap sheets (aka Cache-Cards). Park your jalopy in one of the three lots listed below.
Welcome to Going Caching 2021 in Rome, Georgia USA!
This event will be held inside the Rome Civic Center municipal building. In accordance with current local regulations, face masks will be required to enter the Civic Center. Disposable masks will be available near the door. Thank you for your cooperation!
