Geocache Description:

We're going to clean up a small hillside in Cobbs Creek Park, a part of the Fairmount Park System. Come join us Saturday, November 12th at 9 am!

Our schedule:

Meet for breakfast (probably Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Hot Chocolate, and Coffee) at 08:30 EST.
Cleanup begins 09:00 EST.
Potluck picnic around 12:00 EST (depending on the weather , temperature, and our enthusiasm).

If you are going to bring food, please post it with your "I Will Attend" notice below. Thanks!

The 34 trolley stops at 61st and Baltimore, a short walk from the CITO. If the SEPTA strike ends, you can use this mode of transport.

There are lots of new urban caches in Philadelphia. This event is a great opportunity to try the various cache arcs which have been created.

By participating in this event you are building goodwill between geocachers and the Fairmount Park commission. We will be working with Joe Caesar again. He is a Cobbs Creek Park volunteer coordinator and at his suggestion, we've chosen to remove trash and invasive plants from a hillside overlooking a small playground and picnic area. This spot is next to the newly renovated Cobbs Creek recreational trail.

This area could use our help! There's also ample opportunity to remove trash without bushwacking along the trail and around the playground, if that's more to your liking.

Mr. Caesar will supply a large dumpster, some power tools for removing the big stuff (I told you this will be fun!), and will be on hand to provide guidance and a little park history. We'll supply strong backs. If you have favorite heavy gardening implement, please bring it along.
