MML Geotrail Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Maryland Municipal League Becomes First State League in the Country to Launch a Geocache Trail! On January 1, 2009, the Maryland Municipal League (MML), with the gracious help of the Maryland Geocaching Society (www.mdgps.org), will become the first State Municipal League in the country to launch a statewide city/town Geocache Trail. MML is using this innovative approach to promote awareness of and visits to Maryland’s cities and towns. There are a total of 78 cities/towns participating with a total of 79 caches on the Maryland Municipal League Geo Trail. The theme of the Maryland Municipal League Geocache Trail is Celebrating Maryland’s Cities and Towns. The trail is comprised of 78 city/towns with 79 caches located in the 11 MML Districts (regions) throughout the state. A trackable, highly coveted geo coin will be awarded to the first 500 geocachers who locate a minimum of 22 city/town caches throughout the state. To be eligible for the coin, geocachers must pick up a passport at any participating visitor center, use the stamp in each cache on their passports and write in the cache code word. After at least 2 municipal caches in each district are discovered, geocachers may return to one of the county visitor centers and have their passports validated to receive a collectable coin. Geocaching is fun and a great way to explore all that Maryland cities and towns have to offer. Discover municipal Maryland by blazing the Maryland Municipal League Geocache Trail! You may download a list of participating cities/towns and the participating county visitor centers with addresses and hours of operation from MML’s website www.mdmunicipal.org. You may also visit the Maryland Geocaching Society website at www.mdgps.org for additional details. We hope you all will join us on the MML Geotrail! Thanks, Sue (Calvertcachers) Maryland Geocaching Society Quote Link to comment
+HaLiJuSaPa Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Good luck! Hope you have much more success with this than the (I believe) now defunct Hudson River Geotrail up my way: http://www.expedition101.com/geotrail.html Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This sounds a bit like the Allegheny Geo Trail, which any reasonable observer would call a successful project. Geocoins, wide participation across a region, governmental cooperation... these AGT hallmarks are some of the same features of this new Maryland project. The Maryland project is different because it's sponsored by a statewide caching group and has a statewide scope. I hope this new project is every bit as successful as the AGT! The more, the merrier!
