Join GAOC Sunday, February 6th, 2022, for orienteering at Sweetwater Creek State Park. The Start/Finish and parking will be at Picnic Shelter #7. We also have Picnic Shelter #4 reserved for parking and our general use.
The woods are very open and fast with some hills, especially for the longer advanced courses.
