This is a Cache In Trash Out (CITO) event.
| CITO |
Cache in, Trash Out, the theme of caches in particularly yucky locations, and the motto of geocachers everywhere |
I choose parks that are not yucky. The parks need very small items collected which include bottle caps, cigarette butts, and party confetti.
This is my first CITO at this park. The park is just off of Highway 98 and north of I-4 in Lakeland, Florida. Michael "Mikey" Grimm with lakelandgov.net is in charge of this park and approved this event.
I hope you have some Downtime and can help with this activity, I have Explored many of the parks in the area. Rarely, do I need a Calculator while I am at the park.
We can talk about some puzzles if you would like. Those are the exact coordinates for this event. Thought we could do a little puzzle while cleaning the park.

How:
- Mark will attend on the event
- My log book will be available for those who like to sign one. This is not required.
- Grab a bag or bring your own. During another of my CITO events, many cachers preferred grocery bags over large bags. We emptied them into a large bag and refilled as needed. I have added paper bags also.
- Grabbers will be available or you might want to bring your own.
- Gather any trash around the park.
- Bring it back to the GZ.
- Sanitize your hands. (Sanitizer will be available at the GZ.)
- Pose for our group photo. I try to take photos throughout the event also.
