I had several people come up to me Saturday or contact me asking various questions about the size of the CAM picnic and events in Maryland. I compiled a list of the 25 most attended geocaching events in Maryland. I figured I would post this now, as this list will look very different in a couple weeks. This list is counting the Attended logs on the cache page listing. While many have still not put their attended logs for the CAM picnic this year, I believe the 2015 CAM picnic will ultimately finish 2nd on this list since we had over 210 people complete CAM this year. I may have missed an event that should be on this list, if you find one let me know and I will add it to the list.

Re: Largest Geocaching Events in Maryland
Great list!
The events have grown, for sure! I remember the 2005 Summer Picnic, and we had a TON of people. Looking back at that event, there were only 67 logged "attended"! Lots of families, but that hasn't changed.
Thanks for compiling that list!

Re: Largest Geocaching Events in Maryland
It will be interesting to see in a couple weeks once all the logs are completed from the weekend what an updated list looks like.

Re: Largest Geocaching Events in Maryland
I'll give everyone about a month to log their attends and will update the list at the end of June.
