10th Annual Memorial CITO "Breach 1" Day 2 Cache In Trash Out Event

Join the annual Boulder County CITO and help clean up trash and debris from an area hit hard by the September 2013 floods! We will be working in an area along the St. Vrain River, just downstream from the town of Lyons. This area is known as “Breach 1”, where the mighty St. Vrain breached its banks and flooded acres and acres of open space agricultural land near the Cemex plant. Large trash includes construction materials, parts of houses and other buildings, tires, etc., all washed down from Lyons. We will hope to scour up to 50 acres for trash. Boulder County greatly appreciates all of the clean-up effort and time Geocachers have donated in the past, and look forward to another great project in an area greatly in need of some TLC!

SAFETY WARNING: This area contains flood debris, hazards, and many contaminants. It is recommended that you bring a N-95 rated mask - they are available at hardware stores; about $7 for a 2 pack. There are rusty nails everywhere in the field - some hidden under loose sand and other debris. Kids over 10 years old are welcome to attend with adult supervision. Due to the stated hazards, please consider leaving younger children at home

On Day 1, our focus was clearing the river bank first, then clearing the field. On Day 2 (this event), we will focus on the debris in the field.

As the event is over the lunch hour, we will be providing lunch for all volunteers. Oskar Blues has agreed to donate lunch for all volunteers!!

Everyone participating at this CITO will receive a 2014 CITO souvenir for their geocaching profile! Also, we'll be hosting a FREE DRAWING as a 'Thank You' for coming out! Prizes include: (and not limited to)
