Meetings: Held at 9:00 am, the 2nd Saturday of each Month @ Warren Park, 3406 Warren Park Rd., Orlando, FL.
We discuss prospecting in general and members talk about their trips to the GPAA properties and show off the gold they found. We have several members that travel extensively during the summer months, and it's always a great meeting when one returns with news of their trip, and bring some of the gold they found.
