Saturday, April 26th at 9:45AM in Girdwood!
Join us for Earth Day to make a dent in a winter's worth of trash along our official 2-mile section of the Seward Highway in Girdwood. GeocacheAlaska! has to clean this section of highway at least 3 times per year under the Alaska DOT Adopt-A-Highway program. This year, we are doing our Spring CITO earlier than ever before to take advantage of a special Earth Day CITO souvenir being offered by geocaching.com for any CITO events on April 26-27 this year. Our extremely mild winter has left things cleared up enough to join geocachers from all over the world on this Earth Day weekend.
Meet at the highway pullout at 9:45am to sign in, register for door prizes, and get a safety briefing. We will spend about an hour picking up any and all trash along the highway, meeting again at about 11am to consolidate the trash for a photo-op and then draw for door prizes (must be present to win).
This CITO site requires that we have a tail-gate safety meeting prior to starting and that everyone wear a safety-vest while working along the roadway. It is also highly recommended that everyone wear safety glasses, gloves, and durable boots at this site. Per DOT rules, no children under 11 years old or dogs are allowed to participate in the cleanup.
