TXGA’s CITO Across Texas - Elm Fork of the Trinity River Float

Hey cachers – do you want to be part of something as big as the State of Texas that promotes geocaching and gives back to our local communities? Well, mark your calendars and sign up for one of the TXGA CITO Across Texas.

World Cleanup Day is held annually on the Third Saturday in September. Volunteers in 180 countries will take on the global trash problem and clean up waste, making it the biggest positive civic action the world has seen. TXGA has decided to throw our cowboy hats and GPS devices in the ring this year and join the efforts.

On Saturday, September 19th, at 9 a.m., geocachers, friends, and family will meet at CITO Events Across the World to pick up trash and help keep our game board clean. This is the location for the primary event; see the list below for other locations.

This event will be hosted on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River - BE Viking will be your host.

Wear Sunscreen, Bring Water, gloves and hats. Bring mossie spray if needed

This one is goig to be a little different than your typical CITO,

We will meet at the coords which is California Crossing Park.  Once we all arrive and unload we will ferry a couple cars to the take out location - Frazier Dam Recreation Area.  We will then return to the starting point and kayak/canoe down the Trinity collecting trash as we go.  According to sources on the web the distance is 5.5 miles and will take 2-3 hours at a casual pace. Once we arrive at the Frazier Dam - we will ferry people back to retrieve their verhicles and load up.  

Make sure to bring everything you need to spend 3-4 hours on the water - most importantly a PFD.  

This one will take some coordination so please let me know if you are interested.
