Cache Across Maryland is a geocaching tour of Maryland. We have placed 10 new traditional caches in various locations across the “Old Line State”. To attend this event, you must find all 10 caches. Each cache will give you a portion of the coordinates to the event location. Be aware that CAM participants logged an average of 1000 miles in their trek around the state last year. The ten CAM caches are generally rated about 2/2 on the “star scale”. No special equipment will be needed to find any of the caches.
A method of decoding the final location will be given here as the event nears. Place this event on your watch list to keep up with changes.
The process for participating is as follows:
1. Go to the CAM registration site (click here) to register for CAM 2005. You do not need to be an MGS member to register for CAM.
An e-mail will be sent out to you with a link to the CAM instructions and files to download.
2. Find the ten caches placed around the state. Each CAM 2005 cache contains a unique ink stamp. Be sure to bring your own ink pad to stamp your GeoPassport. Sign the cache’s log book and make a trade if you wish. Please refrain from leaving travel bugs in CAM caches.
3. In mid-April, a decoding key will be placed here to allow you to determine the secret picnic location, using the 10 stamps on your GeoPassport. This site is somewhere in Maryland.
4. Bring your favorite potluck dish and your completed GeoPassport to the picnic on April 30th at 11:00 AM.
5. You may log the individual CAM 2005 caches you have found, and this event, on or after the picnic date of April 30, 2005.
Disclaimer: Searching for any of these caches, or participation in this event, is at your own risk. The Maryland Geocaching Society, and individual members, can’t be held responsible for any injury or damage to property. Please obey all park rules, especially hours of operation and parking restrictions.
Please note we will be having a CITO event on 4/16 so if you can help out with that, you can kill a few birds with one stone and plan the day/weekend around the CAM cache(s) and the CITO event as well!
