CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI ARES® — LATEST NEWS


ALL 2026 CLUB MEETINGS WILL BE AT THE RANKIN COUNTY SAFE ROOM AT 651 MARQUETTE ST. IN BRANDON MS

Third Saturday Expedition April 18, 2026

Our next Third Saturday Expedition will be held at Lake Lincoln State Park. Park opens at 8am and there IS an admission cost. Lake Lincoln State Park is out from Wesson MS off I-55 South about an hour or a little less from the Jackson Metro. It’s a beautiful park for an outing and also a POTA park for those who activate. Whatever GPS tool you use will take you there no problem. There is a store across from the park entrance in case you forget anything (except radio stuff). A radio direction finding Fox Hunt will be held if there is any interest.
