10:00am - 3:00pm
Getting there:
Starting from Hwy 36, go West on Lefthand Canyon for .65 miles, then head North on Geer Canyon Drive for .3 miles to CITO parking.
Heil Valley Homestead:
Come out for the annual Boulder County CITO and help clean up trash, wood, steel, and a bunch of other debris from 140 years of use! We will be cleaning up the old Heil Valley Homestead, a new additon to Boulder County land management after the Heil family moved to Meeker. Large trash includes farming equipment, wood from feed troughs, rail ties, and a wide variety of other fun (and sometimes heavy) objects. You can also expect tires, car parts, steel cables, and a wide variety of small trash.
SAFETY CONCERNS: There may be rusty nails in wood (located all over the field) and the area has broken glass and a wide variety of other sharp objects.
As the event is over the lunch hour, we will be providing lunch for all volunteers. Update 3/25/2015: I have received confirmation that we will be providing pulled pork tacos for lunch (provided by Georgia Boys BBQ).
Everyone participating at this CITO will receive a 2015 CITO souvenir for their geocaching profile! Also, we'll be hosting a FREE DRAWING as a 'Thank You' for coming out!

This is a Billzjeep inspired event
Who is Billzjeep?
Billzjeep began caching April 2001, logged 965 finds, had 5 hidden caches of his own, and was a recognized cacher in Colorado. He was unable to log his final finds because he passed away suddenly while geocaching with Jeeperz1&2 on March 6, 2004. Since his passing, Colorado has held a CITO event in memory of fallen cachers each year.
