Welcome to Cache Across Maryland 2023. This year is the 20th anniversary of CAM. We have made this year a little special with a CAM cache in every county, plus Baltimore City.
This is one of the caches placed for Cache Across Maryland 2023. You must find a minimum of ten caches prior to the picnic held on Saturday, June 3, 2023 in order to receive a free Maryland Geocaching Society CAM geocoin.
Make note of the code word found inside each cache container. You must enter all the symbols into an online decoder in order to print your CAM certificate as well as print a claim form to submit and receive your geocoin at the picnic. More info on CAM is available here.
There are FIVE MANDATORY COUNTIES. THOSE WILL BE GARRETT, ST MARY'S, CECIL, WORCESTER AND ANNE ARUNDEL. You can choose any of the other five counties to find a minimum of ten CAM caches.
Massey Air Museum - Grassroots Aviation
NOTE: Fly-in is scheduled for Saturday, May 13, 2023. The site will be busier than usual.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but they can be used for parking. Only park on paved surfaces (no parking on grass) and not in front of the hangars. This cache will take you on a short tour of the grounds of the Massey Aerodrome visiting three planes that are on display outside. The cache container can then be found on the property as well. This cache does not require crossing any taxiways or runways. Therefore, do not walk across or out onto the main airfield area. The cache can be found seven days a week. Please only visit during daylight hours and enjoy your visit at Kent County’s only public use airfield.
The Massey Air Museum is open 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (closed on Monday and Thursday). More information about the museum is available here. Admission to the museum is free, but donations are welcome. Guided tours are available during museum hours. You may enter the hangars, DC-3 and AN-2 during museum hours (ask for doors to be opened - if closed).
Please note that there is a fly-in event scheduled on Saturday, May 13, 2023 and the site will be busier than usual, but still open. People are welcome at this time to watch the planes fly in.
