[CITO (Cache In Trash Out) Event]
Geocaching is an activity and outdoor sport where you use a GPS device or smartphone to find "geocaches" (or just simply "cache") placed somewhere in the world. A traditional geocache is a small plastic box, waterproof, that contains a log book and some objects for trade (toys, tags, souveniers, etc)
CITO weekend is a special date for the Geocaching world. In case you haven’t heard, CITO stands for Cache In Trash Out. It’s the geocacher’s approach to keeping our game board (i.e. the entire planet) in great shape. On the weekend of April 25 and 26, geocachers around the globe will gather together, pick up trash, remove invasive species, repair trails and more—plus earn a pretty sweet new souvenir.
