Our schedule:
Meet for breakfast (probably Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Jolt cola) at 08:30 EDT.
Cleanup begins 09:00 EDT.
Potluck picnic around 12:00 EDT (depending on the weather and our enthusiasm).
The signup sheet for picnic items is here.
The 34 trolley stops at 61st and Baltimore, a short walk from the CITO.
We also hope to have a couple of post CITO caches hidden somewhere nearby to hone our caching skills in the blistering midday heat.
This event is an effort to engender goodwill towards geocaching in Fairmount Park. Working with Joe Caesar, Cobbs Creek Park volunteer coordinator, we've chosen to remove trash and invasive plants from a hillside overlooking a small playground, picnic area, and the newly renovated Cobbs Creek recreational trail. This area could use our help! There's also ample opportunity to remove trash without bushwacking along the trail and around the playground, if that's more to your liking.
Mr. Caesar will supply a large dumpster, some power tools for removing the big stuff (I told you this will be fun!), and will be on hand to provide guidance and a little park history. We'll supply strong backs. If you have favorite heavy gardening gear, please bring it along.
