School’s out and that means more time for caching and attending
your local events. Set aside Sunday 2 August for the MGS Summer
Picnic. This year the picnic will occur at Rosaryville State Park.
Please stay tuned for more info regarding our largest event of the
year.
It’s looking like the MGS will have plenty of
members attending this year’s Geowoodstock
in Bell Buckle Tennessee.
Stop by here periodically to see what is going
on in Bell Buckle.
After a brief hiatus while all hands were working on the 2009 Cache Across Maryland event, the MGS Member Spotlight is back. We recently sent cub reporter Woodysix8 over to the Eastern Shore to catch up with Mother Wolf who was just coming off the heels of hosting a very successful CITO event at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center. Please click into the forums to read her interview.

OK, the CAM planning is coming along. The core has been notified that the CAM picnic will be held on May 2nd, Rain or Shine.
