Maryland Geocaching Society Summer Picnic 2014 Event Cache

The Maryland Geocaching Society invites everyone to join us on Saturday, July 19th at 10:00 am for the MGS 2014 Summer Picnic.

We would like to invite everyone who has an interest in the game of geocaching to come and join us. You do not have to be a member of the MGS to attend. No matter if you have 10 or 10,000 finds, everyone is welcome! New to the game? New to the area? Visiting from out of town? Feel free to join us at The Manor Area of Cunningham Falls State Park in Thurmont, Maryland.

Cunningham Falls State Park is located in the picturesque Catoctin Mountains. It is divided into two separate but unique areas. The William Houck Area, located three miles west of Thurmont on Route 77, has the lake area, falls, and camping area. The Manor Area, off Route 15 three miles south of Thurmont, has the Scales and Tales Aviary, camping, and the historic Catoctin Iron Furnace.

Outdoor activity is everywhere at Cunningham Falls State Park. Leisure opportunities like swimming, hiking, fishing, and canoeing are available. For those who wish to get away for either a night or longer there are campsites and camper cabins available for rental from April through October.

Our tentative schedule for the day:

9am - Setup.

10am - Grills fired up

10:30am to 3pm - Silent Auction, caching, 50/50, eating, hanging out with others.

3:15pm - Annual caching awards followed by door prizes and general announcements. Be sure to visit the MGS site for more information.

3:45pm - Group Photo.

The silent auction will be going on throughout the day, everything from geocoins to cache containers.

Please bring a dish to share. Post a "Will Attend" log if you are planning to come, and please include the dish you plan to bring. The event will be held rain or shine! Hope to see you there!
