November 2003 Monthly Meeting
Make plans now to attend the Maryland Geocaching Society's November meeting. This month's meeting will be held in Gifford Pinchot State Park, RAIN, SNOW OR SHINE!!! Listen to the local forecast & dress accordingly.
Moving the start of the event to 10, this will let everyone get there and socialize 'til 11 or so and have the meeting just before eating. The last meeting was quick, just a "this is who we are, go eat and have fun!" This will give us more time to cache after the chow.
This month's meeting will be a pot-luck event so please bring a dish to share! More details will be posted soon!
There will be a bulletin board posted with all the caches located at the park:
Florida @ Pinchot Lake (GCED5D)
Hippity Hoppity (GCFCC0)
The Locatelli Crime Family's Greatest Hits (GC39EA)

It is reached from Harrisburg via the Lewisberry Exit (35) of I-83 south then PA 177 south; or by US 15 south to Dillsburg, then to PA 74 south. From York, take PA 74 north or I-83 north.
