This is a "take something, leave nothing"
cache.
Please note this cache is not a regular event where we
are all together. Each person or geocaching group chooses their own
area and day to do CITO.
Please take
appropriate cautions such as wearing blaze orange if you are near a
hunting area.
The rules of this cache are:
- Find a place anywhere in Minnesota that is in some need
of cleaning up. This can be a public park, a trail, a road, or a
cache site.
Clean up the area for at minimum half an hour or half a mile of
trail.
If there is not enough trash at one area, combine 2 or 3 areas
- Post the coordinates of your clean up effort or include the
name of the park, street or cache area in your log. Report the time
you spent there.
- Post a description of your activity and who was involved if you
were in a group. If you have a digital camera, post photos of the
area and/or your found items.
- ** If you encounter an area that needs extra efforts and extra
hands please consider hosting a CITO event there.
- Since this is an event cache, choose "attended" or "found it"
to receive cache credit.
I allow one “find” per cacher every month.
If you do CITO and don’t want to add to your stats – choose “post a
note” instead.
- Keep posting what you do on this page – it is important to
maintain an environmentally friendly image to our sport and do
everything we can to keep our parks and cache sites nice.
- EVERY DAY IS CITO DAY!!!!
This cache was
featured on the
"Environmental Journal" TV Show.
This cache was started in September 2002 from a grassroots
effort that was being made for the hobby of geocaching to have a
positive presence in Minnesota parks and in the Minnesota media.
Take time to browse through the logs and photos for more about the
history of this cache and all the great CITO efforts people have
done.
** This cache is a locationless cache that was
approved in 2002 by special permission of Groundspeak. Caches like
this are no longer being approved. The reason this cache is still
alive and active is because it is grandfathered under the old
guidelines.

Picked up garbage at various caches in the Cottonwood area today. The School Grove Lake Park was a particuoar mess. There were a lot of cans and bottles there. Trying to keep a garbage bag at each run.

Was out for a three mile walk this morning before work along a trail where there are multiple caches. I picked up two broken styrofoam minnow buckets and used them to place the other trash in as I walked. Then, lo and behold, found a garbage bag as part of the trash. Filled that and the minnow buckets. Looks like a CITO event for the Spring.

Canoed out to Big Island in the middle of Lake Minnetonka. The place has quite a bit of trash scattered along its shoreline. We spent three hours hiking and caching on the island, and picked up quite a collection of empty beer cans, plastic cups, and other trash. The area could use more help, though. Be nice if every geocacher who makes a trip to the island could take out a bag or two of trash. Thanks for the cache! (665)
