Invites You To Participate In
The
2011 ARP Spring
Cleanup
It's time to take
care of one of the playgrounds in which you hunt. This event
will NOT be about the "Cache In" but all about the "Trash
Out"!!
Come an join the community in
participating in the American River Parkway Spring Clean Up.
Volunteers will be coming out in droves all along the parkway to
pick up trash to keep the parkway beautiful. Special
arrangements have been made for a group of Geocachers, that's YOU,
to descend upon a designated stretch of the
parkway.
By participating in this event you will
receive a parking pass for the park to use during the event.
The American River Parkway Foundation will provide the trash bags
and final trash removal. All we need to do is collect the
junk and get it to the parking lot.

Things To
Think About: There are the
usual things to be aware of while along the
parkway.
-
Don't go reaching into places that you can not see!!
There are Rattle Snakes along the parkway. Always step on,
NOT OVER, downed trees and rocks so that you can see what is
on the other side.
-
Keep an eye out to Poison Oak. There are only
two types of people in the world. Those who have had
Poison Oak and those who will get it.
-
Protect yourself from the sun. Sunscreen and a good
hat with a brim are always a great idea.
Remember, Practice "Cache In Trash Out"
While out geocaching, bring a bag with you
to pick up trash along the way.
