Join GAOC on 4/18 to run around in the woods of Chat Bend. There is still ongoing construction, so we will be at the boat ramp. This time we will go south all the way to Heard County, so if you had "orienteer in Heard County" on your bucket list, you can check that one off. This is also one of the few areas we have available with no trails, no roads, not many contours, and just that big river to keep you on track. So there will be almost no climb...

Pre-registration is required.
