Geocache Description:

Join us for a CITO event on the Hillsborough River, gathering at 8:30 am Sunday morning. Coordinates are for the parking lot at John B Sargeant's Park. Note the terrain rating! this is river clean-up! bring a boat, paddle powered or motor powered. A motor boat would be great if anyone has one, for shuttling trash from the low capacity kayaks.

I expect to do some milling about in the parking area for an hour or so. Each participant will need to fill in a volunteer form for Hills Co Parks (I have those). A couple of hours on the water gathering trash, then off to whatever adventures the day might hold. I'm not planning lunch, I expect this to finish up in the late morning, but I guess I'll bring a coffee thermos or two. I bet someone will show up with donuts (someone always does).

A heavy knife or wire cutters might come in handy for working steel fishing leader off roots. The bulk of the riverfront trash is along the shore line fairly near the ramp and to the east, with another pile on the first big log jam downstream from the ramp (Seventeen Runs).

The FGA will be donating an FGA Compass Coin for some lucky CITOer and either an FGA t-shirt or cap.

There's little trash in the park, but non-boaters could come and likely find some if they wanted to look for it.
