Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Not at posted coordinates.
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.

Spent the day caching around St. Paul and South St. Paul. Hit forty caches or so picking up what ever trash I found along the way, managed to get a couple bags full before the day was over. Thanx for the oppurtunity.

Didn't think I'd be able to get this cache with all the snow this month, but came upon what looked like the Battle of Kursk at a sledding hill in Brooklyn Center, near the Old Man Peterson Lived Near Here cache (GC1A6NH). There were shattered fragments of sleds and pieces of frozen cardboard littering the hill. It was a mess. I picked up all the pieces and shattered shells, then carted them off in my car to garbage can. Place looked much better with all the junk gone. Photo attached. Thanks for the cache! (883)

Visited Springbrook Nature Center today and picked up a couple of trash bags worth of garbage. Some of the local deer and rabbits should attend a AA meeting, because they sure seem to be drinking a lot of malt liquor along the trails. It sure doesn't take long to fill the bags up unfortunately. I made a sweep around the parking lot and then worked the trails to the east. I'll have to get one of my sons scout groups together for a cito event here or at another local park. This was a satisfying 'find', making #2000 for me, thanks!
