Spring Cache in Trash Out® (CITO) Week 2018
Spring Cache in Trash Out® (CITO) Week just wrapped up, and what a success it was! Thousands of people all over the world grabbed their gardening gloves, garbage bags, and old blue jeans and got to work. Here are ten highlights that will make you smile. And remember, a good geocacher CITOs every time they geocache!
Ukliď si své město VIII. — GC7M38R, Czechia
A group of 23 Czech geocachers met to clean a “neglected place” area around Nisa under the highway. They asked participants to bring some tools, gloves, and an especially good mood.
Puerto Rico CITO 2018 – Monte Pirate — GC7KFQ3, Puerto Rico
“If you like to discover forgotten places, ancient structures lost in the forest, and fascinating views of cliffs and beaches, you can not miss this CITO event. The place needs a little love and as we like to take care of nature and its wonders, we will give ourselves the task of doing a bit of “housekeeping.” Yes, please!
Another CITO & Souvenir, @ Milverton & Monarchs — GC7JQY2, New Zealand
Using garbage as a CITO logbook? That’s one CITO-rific way to upcycle!
Trenčín CITO #06 — GC7HAF6, Slovakia
The Trenčín Castle in western Slovakia dates back to 179 AD. Participants of this CITO worked together to refurbish a retaining wall that collapsed over 15 years ago.
Spring CITO 2018 – Fremont Neighborhood Cleanup — GC7JJRG, Seattle, USA
A one-eared hedgehog named Hazelnut showed up to do her part to beautify our world.
Tree of life CITO — GC7JPX6, Bahrain
A humble group of geocachers and muggles worked together to clean up a sizable heap of litter near the Persian Gulf. The cache page says, “There is usually an ice cream van.” I wonder if they got their ice cream at the end of the CITO?
Eneko Beach CITO — GC7K3EJ, Marshall Islands
We believe this two-person CITO on tiny Eneko Island, part of the Marshall Islands, was the most remote Spring CITO to ever occur. We’re ready to be proven wrong. 😉
Rydding i Telegrafbukta — GC7MXN0, Norway
While we’re talking about extreme locations, we believe this CITO in Troms, Norway, was the furthest north. It may also be one of the most beautiful locations for a CITO.
Tranent Core Path Spring CITO 2018 — GC7MX0X, Scotland
These CITO-ers may have done the impossible: make a yucky old pile of tires look beautiful. Just imagine how gorgeous the surrounding area must look now!
Zhuwei Beach Earth Day CITO 竹圍海水浴場 — GC7MN8T, Taiwan
For several geocachers, this was their first CITO and they came away with lots of smiles. As one log says, “This was my first ever CITO Event! And even though it was “only” picking up trash, it was actually quite tiring.”
