Where: Picnic table at the posted coordinates, in an unnamed park. I did not create a parking waypoint, but there should be plenty of room to stow vehicles safely out of the way.
When: Saturday, September 19th 2:00-3:00pm.
CITO Across the World? Count me in! Join me and the boys at this lovely little park at the junction of US12 and Hwy730 on the banks of the Walla Walla River to help gather some garbage and pick up our planet. I will bring some trash bags, but please bring your own grabbers, gloves, and tools, etcetera. We'll plan to meet at the picnic table for a group photo by 2:10pm and then spread out over the grounds. There are even a couple of caches nearby to sweeten the deal. If you haven't already done so, this Event will net you the 2026 Season 2 CITO Souvenir. At 3pm we will reassemble with our haul for a final group picture. Hope you can join us!
One Day. Many Communities. A World of Difference.
A little over 2 years ago georeyna, a geocacher in Houston, Texas, asked a simple question: What could happen if geocachers around Texas came together on one day to make their communities cleaner? Based on that simple question, Texas Geocaching Association (TXGA) created an event named 'CITO Across Texas' in conjunction with World Cleanup Day.
Geocachers throughout Texas held cleanup events on the third Saturday in September. Each event is locally organized, but together they became part of something much bigger. CITO Across Texas was born!
The results have been tremendous. During 2024 and 2025:
- More than 50 CITO events were held across Texas.
- More than 700 volunteers participated.
- Thousands of pounds of trash were removed from parks, trails, waterways, neighborhoods, and other public spaces.
In 2026, we want to take the next step and we are inviting the worldwide community of geocachers to help clean up our game board.
