Al Ain Desert CITO Event Cache In Trash Out® Event

This is a commonly transited area of the nearby Al Ain desert. Conveniently located between the Camel Track and the northern edge of Al Ain City it is quite a visible location and a common area, yet a little off the beaten path. As a 'common area' it is everyone's place to play and no one's place to keep nice. As such it is pretty densely populated with drifting desert debris… it just screams to be CITOed.  

My father told me a tale as I was growing up. It was to be a lesson to me as I made my choices. It is now a common piece of poetry found everywhere the internet reaches.

It’s a story about four people named Everyone, Someone, Anyone and No-one.

There was an important job to be done and Everyone was sure that Someone would do it.

Anyone could have done it, but No-one did it.

Someone got angry about that because he thought that it was Everyone’s job.

Everyone thought that Anyone could do it, but No-one realized that Everyone wouldn’t do it.

It ended up that Everyone was angry with Someone because No-one did what Anyone could have done!
