This CITO (Cache In, Trash Out) Event brought to you by:
NC Foothills Geocachers
NC FOOTHILLS
GEITNER PARK CITO
Geitner-Rotary Park
Hickory, North Carolina
The City of Hickory has been very supportive of our geocaching
activities so the NC Foothills Geocachers have adopted the parks of
The City of Hickory. We have committed to clean a park four times a
year. This is our way of showing appreciation for the use of these
parks for geocaching.
The Geitner-Rotary Park has been selected for our lst CITO event
in 2009! Geitner Park is a large park with 1-1/2 miles of trails
winding throught the beautiful woods along the Catawba River.
Geitner Park offers easy parking, boat docks, picnic facilities,
gazebo, restrooms, fishing, and trails. Bicycles and leashed dogs
are welcome.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND THIS CITO?
The City of Hickory Parks and Recreation department have been
very supportive of our geocaching activities. The CITO's are a way
of showing our appreciation of their support and to give back to
the community. Geocachers also have a history of making our
"geocaching playgrounds" better than it was when we arrived.
If you are new to geocaching, CITO events give you the
opportunity to meet others in the geocaching community. There is no
better way to find new geocaching friends and get some tips and
tricks from the "old timers".
THE FOOD AIN'T BAD EITHER!
The NC Foothills Geocaches have a tradition of providing a meal
for our CITO participants. As usual, we will have hotdogs.
Condiments, basic "fixings", and drinks will be provided.
Attendants usually bring side dishes or deserts.
WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING.
We ask that you bring a side dish or a desert for the CITO
lunch. Don't forget to bring your GPS receiver! There are many
geocaches listed on Groundspeak and other services. Print-outs of
the parks geocaches will be available in case you need to program
your GPSr on-the-spot.
