UPDATE: The weather forecast looks great! Sunny skies and 75º. Woohoo!
The Cañon City Parks and Recreation District is conducting a cleanup on the Arkansas Riverwalk on April 28, 2018. The Rec District has agreed to let the Geocaching community be a part of this effort. There will be non-cachers in attendance, and this will be a great opportunity to explain to them what our sport is all about.
Meet at the Cañon City Recreation District main office, 575 Ash Street in Cañon City. The Rec District is offering a free breakfast for participants from 8:00 am to 9:00 am, and the cleanup will run from 9:00 to noon. We will have a couple of tables at the breakfast reserved for cachers. Look for the table with the geocaching flag on it. The Rec District will supply trash bags. Bring your own work gloves and wear appropriate clothing. Also bring sunscreen and insect repellent. And come hungry! Let's show the Rec District that we appreciate being able to cache along the Arkansas Riverwalk.
There will be a drawing at the conclusion of the event for a CITO geocoin and a CITO Travel Tag. There should be ample time during breakfast to swap and discover trackables.
Last year the River Walk cleanup was snowed out. Hopefully the weather will be better this year.
You will be awarded a souvenir on your Geocaching Profile for attending a CITO event between April 21 and April 29, 2018.
Be sure and log your "Will Attend" so we can be sure to have enough seating for breakfast.
