Geocache Description:


 

One Day. Many Communities. A World of Difference.

 


A little over 2 years ago georeyna a geocacher in Houston, TX 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. We are inviting the worldwide community of geocachers to help clean up our game board.

Emies Park - September 19th - TIME CHANGE!!! 3:00pm 

 

For those of you not attending Hike n Seek 2026 please consider joining me at Emies Park to participate in this worldwide clean up event. Water and gloves will be provided just like any other local CITO. You'll earn not one but two souvenirs! Cache In Trash Out Season 2 and the September Equinox.
 

The plan is to sweep the whole park area starting south and working our way north. The more the merrier so please get the word out. We'll see you on Saturday
