Meet up for the CITO @ Sisters Coffee in the Old Mill
Sunday, September 29th, 2023
8:30 - 9:30 am
Now that you're rested from a full day of caching, join us to pick up litter around one of Bends most recognizable and visited places - The Old Mill. Most of you are visiting Bend from far off locations so before you head out, come add to your day and give a little back to the community!
The posted coordinates take you to Sisters Coffee Shop in Bends Old Mill District where you can fill up prior to the CITO. You will be cleaning up any litter in the parking lots and on the river trail. There is plenty of parking close to the coordinates.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Cache In Trash Out® (CITO) is an opportunity for geocachers to beautify and restore natural and urban spaces. Since 2002, more than 675,000 geocachers logged attendances at over 37,000 CITO Events that helped improve the outdoors.
Actions often speak louder than words; from collecting trash to planting trees, and all other kinds of CITO activities, when we CITO, we make our world a better place. We build community with our geocaching neighbors and leave our incredible geocaching gameboard better than how we found it.
