This CITO (Cache In, Trash Out) Event brought to you by:

NC Foothills Geocachers

NCGO STATE-WIDE CITO NC FOOTHILLS
Geitner-Rotary Park
Hickory, North Carolina

The North Carolina Geocachers Organization and NC Foothills Geocachers are proud to present The Third Annual Statewde CITO (Cache In, Trash Out) Event. Each year at this time geocachers from all over North Carolina celebrate Earth Day by cleaning our little portion of our global playground.

The City of Hickory has been very supportive of our Terracaching activities so the NC Foothills Geocachers have adopted the parks of The City of Hickory. We have committed to clean a park four times a year. This is our way of showing appreciation for the use of these parks for Terracaching.

Geitner Park is a large park with 1-1/2 miles of trails winding throught the beautiful woods along the Catawba River.

Geitner Park offers easy parking, boat docks, picnic facilities, gazebo, restrooms, fishing, and trails. Bicycles and leashed dogs are welcome.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND THIS CITO?

The City of Hickory Parks and Recreation department have been very supportive of our Terracaching activities. The CITO's are a way of showing our appreciation of their support and to give back to the community. Terracachers also have a history of making our "Terracaching playgrounds" better than it was when we arrived.

If you are new to Terracaching, CITO events give you the opportunity to meet others in the Terracaching community. There is no better way to find new Terracaching friends and get some tips and tricks from the "old timers".

THE FOOD AIN'T BAD EITHER!

The NC Foothills Geocaches have a tradition of providing a meal for our CITO participants. As usual, we will have hotdogs. Condiments, basic "fixings", and drinks will be provided. Attendants usually bring side dishes or deserts.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING.

We ask that you bring a side dish or a desert for the CITO lunch. Don't forget to bring your GPS receiver! There are many geocaches in the park listed on three services including Terracaching! Print-outs of the parks Terracaches and geocaches will be available in case you need to program your GPSr on-the-spot.
