Earth is a tiny blue dot suspended in the vastness of space.
It is home to liquid water, breathable atmosphere, abundant flora and fauna, and the only geocaching community in the universe.
Since we live on the only planet with geocaches —so far!—, geocachers understand how important it is to protect it.
Cache In Trash Out® (CITO) is an environmental initiative supported by the geocaching community.
==============================================
2020 Community Celebration Event GC8DMY will follow this CITO from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm at the same starting location
