Some notes from the Maryland Co-Chairs:
There are rooms
Call the hotels. Most websites are not ready to book that far in advance at this time. I spoke to 2 hotels yesterday and they have availability. We will be posting a list of available hotels and campgrounds with event rates soon.
How did our bid packet process work?
- We started working our bid shortly after Warren (GW IX).
- We assembled a team of experienced cachers who have attended GW, and tried to think of all aspects of the event to give cachers a well-rounded event.
- We contacted a prior host, KCPenn of GW IX, and he was a huge help in bid process development.
- We have known since GW X, that we would have to wait for 2 other excellent locations (Lakeland and St Charles) before we got our turn.
- Washington County, Maryland, is amazing and wants to host GW. They are extremely supportive of GC and currently has a coin awarded Geo-trail for cachers to participate in.
We would love to see an event on the West Coast for 2016 or 2017!
