Everyone who logs an “Attended” at this Cache In Trash Out (CITO) event earns this year’s CITO souvenir for their Geocaching profile. So get ready for a classic win-win situation from the geocaching playbook.
Join the geocaching community movement for CITO weekend. Last year, over 13,000 geocachers from more than 30 countries combined in the annual worldwide environmental effort, which is tied closely with Earth Day.

The plan:
8:30 am - Arrive at McCormacks Beach parking lot, just outside of Fisherman's Cove in Eastern Passage.
9:00 am - Get garbage bags and gloves, and start cleaning beaches
11:45 am - Turn in all trash bags
12:00 - Lunch at one of the restaurants in Fisherman's Cove
12:30 - Awards and geocaching introduction
In order to make the day more fun, we will be giving away a few prizes on completion of the cleanup.
On this CITO weekend, thousands of geocachers will walk away from their events with bags of trash and a sense of pride. We are preserving the natural beauty of our world.
To make the day even more fun, there will be at least a couple new caches placed along the beach. Coordinates will be distributed on site, and should be avilable online that day.
