This CITO (Cache In, Trash Out) Event brought to you
by:
NC Foothills Geocachers
NC FOOTHILLS
GEITNER PARK CITO
Geitner-Rotary Park
Hickory, North Carolina
The City of Hickory has been very supportive of our geocaching
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
geocaching.
The
Geitner-Rotary Park has been selected for
our first CITO event in 2009! 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 geocaching activities. The CITO's are a way of
showing our appreciation of their support and to give back to the
community. Geocachers also have a history of making our "geocaching
playgrounds" better than it was when we arrived.
If you are new to geocaching, CITO events give you the opportunity
to meet others in the geocaching community. There is no better way
to find new geocaching 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 listed on Groundspeak and other
services. Print-outs of the parks geocaches will be available in
case you need to program your GPSr on-the-spot.
