THIS EVENT ON AUGUST 25, 2025 IS A NEXUS OF TWO MONTHLY THEMED SERIES OF 1) 25 YEARS OF GEOCACHING AND 2) CITO (CACHE IN TRASH OUT) AT AMTRAK PIAZZA.
I am hosting a series of geo-events in 2025 on the 25th of each month to celebrate 25 Years of Geocaching. It starts on Christmas Day 2024 and ends on Christmas Day 2025 for a total of 13, indeed a lucky number. Event may be in another state or another country, as the anniversary celebration is worldwide.

Event Date is Tuesday November 25, 2025 to highlight the number "25" for the "25" Years of Geocaching.
Event Time is ideally 6:25 am to 7:25 am to highlight the number "25" for the "25" Years of Geocaching, but is actually the posted times at top of 6:45 to 7:45 am.
Event Location is on the Streetcar-Street level (not lower level to Amtrak entrance) at handicap ramp at posted coords, ending in N "25" and W "25", to highlight the number "25" for 25 Years of Geocaching. Important Note: As this "25" event is joint with the monthly CITO event, the CITO activity sign-in will be at this location, but CITOers will fan out to clean-up the vast downtown area surrounding the Amtrak Piazza.
We also host a monthly CITO (Cache In Trash Out) cleanup, preceded at 6:00 to 6:30 am by a Pre-CITO fuel-up at a nearby coffee shop, on varying dates at the Amtrak Piazza.
This event is also a early morning CITO in a lovely treed gardened piazza by the Amtrak Station. STNolan left an amazing geo-legacy of hosting a number of morning gatherings here. Here has lotsa trash to clean up. Let's beautify this city block.
