Gambrill State Park picnic just west of Frederick! October 25th, 9am to sunset. There will be food, drink, games, puzzles.
Delaware Beach Delight – This event is now over. Members from Delaware Mensa and Maryland Mensa all had a good time.
On May 30, 2026 we had an outdoor visit to Pickering Beach on Delaware Bay in hopes of viewing spawning horseshoe crabs and the red knots and other birds that feed on the crab eggs. We had an expert biologist as a guide. The horseshoe crabs were reported at high tides in the evening but were not there for us when we went to the morning high tide.
We had a great visit to the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and a very nice outdoor lunch at a restaurant on a lake in Milford. We visited the DuPont Nature Center where we saw a slew of shore birds including red knots feasting on the sand. The Nature Center also had a museum featuring exhibits on tidal marshes.

Outside of the DuPont Nature Center.
We also had a good time playing board games afterwards.
There’s a good chance we will go back next year and visit during the evening high tide.

LocSec Column December 2026
Greetings from the LocSec! The year is winding down. After initial leaves in red there seem to be more or brighter yellows and oranges than many years. There are a variety of events to try out in Maryland, from games, hiking, puzzles and sushi in and around Frederick to lunch, the card game Euchre or dinner and a film in Baltimore, a holiday party and more. If you’ve had a thought of going to an event, consider giving it a try!

November 2026 LocSec Column
The temperatures are a-cooling,
Halloween is passed,
Soon it will be Thanksgiving.
The trees are a-turning,
A light air is here,
Nature is all around living.
Happy November!
Your LocSec, David Hubbard
