We had a great time at the Georgia Geocachers Association August 2009 meeting this weekend. This was the annual Sssssnakes event presented by Dr. Mark Patterson Phd. We learned about all the typical Snakes that will be seen in this part of Georgia as well as their habits and attitude. Plus, we learned that its actually ILLEGAL in Georgia to kill a non-venomous Snake. Its punishable by a $1000 fine and jail time if caught and prosecuted. This was news to me and good information to have. The meeting gave me a great opportunity to meet all the local (and some not so local) geocachers whose caches we've been hunting for the past 3 months. We even met a few new friends that I've not cached with before or hunted their caches. After the very informative Snake Presentation we grouped together the roaming band of misfits and hit up the 4 caches that were in the park. 4 caches might not sound like alot but 2 of them involved over 2 miles of hiking trails to gather all the info (multi's) and then find the cache. All in all it was an awesome day with good people and lots of stories to swap. We can't wait until the next meeting to do it all again.
