Join GAOC on Saturday, February 6th, at F.D. Roosevelt State Park, 80 miles southwest of Atlanta and Georgia’s largest state park.
The rumor is that FDR will be the site of next years Georgia Navigator Cup and SE Interscholastic Champs. I can neither confirm nor deny that rumor, but I can provide some interesting courses to run! If the rumor is true, this will be your last chance to orienteer at FDR before it is embargoed.
I have also merged old and new maps to give us more of the old territory to run on. We will start at Liberty Bell Pool (32.847595,-84.810861), and orange and above will run up the mountain, cross the top to pick up a couple of controls, and run down the mountain. Sound like fun? Less than 4% climb!
