Geocache Description:

Join in an opportunity to help improve and build trails that make access to a neat geocaching area easier.

This year's event: Activities include a morning of trail building and projects for families & scout groups. Work will be followed by the volunteer thank you lunch where volunteers will be treated to burgers & hot dogs barbecued and served by COSCA Rangers and there will be a drawing where great door prizes will be awarded to some lucky volunteers.

Of course, for this CITO event, certain areas will be assigned to Geocachers for renovation/improvement, and we will need to hike to the work site, do the trail building, and hike back to the picnic area. Assignments will be made day of the event, depending on the number of signups.
