If you decide to do an event me (flarose516) and my mom (Nise188) would love to attend. Sounds like lots of fun but I don't have the first clue about how to get one going. I've never been to one.FlaRosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09773608260666772644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8627458619356939131.post-90888067362234231232007-02-12T07:53:00.000-06:002007-02-12T07:53:00.000-06:00Gravelshot,<BR/><BR/>I have been to 1 geocaching event. It was a Cache In Trash Out (CITO) event in Gulf Breeze 2 years ago. CITO is a great way to give back to the land which is our playground as geocachers.<BR/><BR/>CITO is encouraged within the geocaching community any time you go caching, and CITO events can happen at any time.<BR/><BR/>However, every April a Saturday is picked as International CITO Day. This year it is April 14. See cacheintrashout.org for more details. I think this would be a great time to plan an event. <BR/><BR/>CITO events are only limited to your imagination. Although the basic idea of CITO is to clean up trash, it can be combined with a variety of activities: a series of caches can be hidden for the event, food, door prizes, etc. Usually local businesses are willing to donate swag, garbage bags, hand sanitizer, safety vests, etc. for a community cleanup event. If the event is on the Eglin reservation, Jackson Guard will assist by providing trash bags, a dumpster, and even 4-wheelers (only theirs driven by them) to haul out larger items.<BR/><BR/>You have a great idea. Let's make it happen.<BR/><BR/>Sam aka samirskysamirskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07671180370237644549noreply@blogger.com
