We all know the pandemic has cancelled or postponed some fun stuff. Many of us are missing Cache In Trash Out\u00ae (CITO)<\/a> activities, as well as Mega-Events where we looked forward to logging Find Signal the Frog\u00ae – Locationless in 2020<\/a>. While we hope to enjoy each of these cache types later in the year, GC8NEAT offers some of what you’re missing without the wait.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
