Hi, I'm new to geocaching and a new member of The Maryland Geocaching Society. Today, I went to my first CITO event and met some really great people!! I look forward to meeting more people and finding awesome caches! What a wonderful, unique community of people!!

Welcome to MGS! Stick with us and you won’t be a rookie for long. Geocaching is a fun worldwide game with lots to explore and experience. Let us know if you have any questions. Our next event is Saturday 20 July in Mt Airy. Watch for the event to publish soon.

Hello, all! I am new here but not new to geocaching. I went letterboxing with my mom when I was a teenager and I transitioned to geocaching once that became available. It is now something that I do with my kiddos. I recently discovered The Maryland Geocaching
Society and had to join. I look forward to chatting and caching with you all!

Welcome cachemeoutsidemd! You will find plenty of geocaches to find in Maryland. We are one of the oldest geocaching organizations and have an event every quarter. Our next event is Saturday 20 July in Mt Airy. Watch for the event to publish soon. And we have a CITO planned for the fall along with a picnic and campout.

Join us for some summer fun in Mt Airy on July 20th! We will host a potluck picnic and BBQ. There will be a huge silent auction with tons of coins, trackables and swag to bid on. Come on out, get some good food and get that coin or trackable you always wanted while helping to raise money for CAM. And of course, we will have another Tag-A-Palooza!

Everybody is welcome, especially new folks and beginners! There will be new caches in the park to find!

Hello,

Ok. So I've been living under a rock for the last 15-20 years that geocashing has been around. Two days ago, a FB friend shared a post and I inquired. So here I am. I was happy I stumbled across MGS. Thanks for having me. Excited to get started.

Welcome StarlingGirl! There is something for everyone in geocaching whether you like city caching, puzzles, earth science or the old fashioned favorite, a hike in the woods. It is easy to get started all by yourself with an app on your phone or a dedicated GPS. To get really involved, let us know if you have a question or better yet, check out the calendar of events on our main page and come join one of the events to meet and learn about our hobby one on one. See you around!

Hi there all! I am new here and actually realized I was already a member from before when I went to join on Saturday after the Cache-Advance Zoom meet on Friday. I only moved to Elkton, Maryland last year but I had forgotten I'd joined the forum before. I consider myself pretty new to caching. I only joined Geocaching.com in 2014 and I currently have about 160-ish finds, but I am very excited about geocaching and it's become one of my favorite things to do outside. I would LOVE to make new friends here -local or not- who I can cache with! Other activities I enjoy are drawing, collecting geocoins, trackables and pathtags, among other things. If anyone is in the Elkton area or around it and has a vehicle and wants to cache with a friend, hit me up! I would love to join in, but currently don't have a car, so I have been walking to get to closer caches since I moved.
