This year we are excited to announce our first annual Fall MGS Picnic. If you've attended one of our summer picnics you know what a great time they are! The Fall picnic promises all the same great fun and more. This year the MGS is excited to announce the Leave No Trace Traveling Trainers will be attending to help train all interested geocachers on how to best minimize the impact of our sport on the environment.

Environmental impact remains one of the chief concerns regarding our sport, so be sure to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to discover how you can help do your part. You can learn more about the leave no trace program and the traveling trainers program here.

We are also proud to have Magellan as a sponsor who has donated a couple of amazing door prizes which shall remain a surprise until we get closer to the event. We will be announcing more door prizes and games as the event draws closer.

 
Door Prizes:

Grand Prize: Magellan Meridian Color

That's right this will be your shot at winning the new top of the line unit from Magellan. This is one awesome gps, check out the specs over at the Magellan website. One very lucky cacher in will be leaving with a brand new Magellan Meridian Color GPSr unit along with a 64 meg memory card. What's the catch? Well you must be present to win and you must be a registered MGS member. Membership is 100% FREE and you can sign up online at www.mdgps.net.

2003 Maryland Summer Geocaching Picnic Presented By The MGS

Make plans now to attend the Maryland Geocaching Society's  2003 Fall picnic and barbeque in Maryland's own Patapsco Valley State Park. We have reserved a beautiful riverside picnic shelter complete with electricity, horseshoes, badminton, volleyball, plenty of open space for Frisbee or catch, and numerous hiking/mountain biking trails nearby for your caching enjoyment. Patapsco Valley State Park offers some of the most enjoyable and challenging geocaching experiences in the state. 

This event is FREE and open to anyone with an interest in Geocaching. New to the game? Just getting started? Come on out and join the fun!

So Far Plans include:

  • Leave No Trace Training Session 1pm - 2pm
  • A pot-luck picnic/barbecue, 
  • New and Exciting Caches Placed In The Park For The Event
  • Geocaching Games, Raffles & Door Prizes

A few details:

  • Because the shelter is reserved for one day only there will be NO raindate... rain or shine, the show must go on!
  • Pets are NOT permitted in the picnic areas of the park... sorry.
  • Alcohol is permitted but only within the area of the picnic shelter.
  • There is a $2.00 per person park entrance fee. (excluding children in car seats.)
  • Restroom facilities are nearby.

Maryland Geocaching Society members will be providing all the basics (paper/plastic products, grill, charcoal, etc and hamburgers and hotdogs).
