“America in Minature”

The brainchild of Laura & Joe Tinker (Outsid4evr), the ‘Cache Across Maryland’ is a six-week long event that showcases the history and natural beauty of Maryland by placing geocaches all across the state.  Each cache contains part of a code, that when put together, will lead finders to the final event, a picnic and celebration.

“I think we had a great session”  said DudleyGrunt when asked how the first meeting went.  MGS Vice President and committee member Shady said, “We have a terrific group of dedicated members from different areas of the state and varying levels of experience, the 2010 CAM may be the best one yet”.   The Cache Across Maryland has been held every year since its inception in 2004.   Keep your eyes on the forums, CAM 2010 is coming!  Are you ready?

Activities planned for this year’s event include a 50/50 drawing, door prizes and Ammo Can Toss with prizes for the winners of each division.  There will also be several new caches placed in the park for the event including some water-based caches for which kayaks will also be provided.  Special activities are planned for the kids as well.  Check the cache page for all the details.

So mark your calendars and come out to the MGS Fall Meet & Greet, it promises to be a great time.  The main dish for this event will be provided, but remember to bring a side dish or dessert, etc.  Check the forum HERE for the food list and post what you will be bringing.  Also any volunteers willing to help out at the event are encouraged to email Tom& Shelley at:  info@wmdadventures.com

We do now!!  The long anticipated announcement is here and the wait is over.  Cache Across Maryland 2009 is set to begin.  This year we have added a fun new aspect to our most popular MGS event…. a “Shotgun Start”  Visit the event cache page for all the details and we’ll see you out on the trails soon!
