Geocache Description:



The GEOCACHERS OF EASTERN ONTARIO (GEO), with the support of South Nation Conservation (SNC), will be running a Cache In Trash Out event on Saturday April 28th, 2012. This cleanup will be focusing on cleaning up pre-selected sites along the shorelines of nearby creeks and rivers, as well as some conservation areas, trails, and forest properties.

This is the third annual SNCITO event. The past two CITO events were both great days- Dozens of Caches going In, and plenty of Trash coming Out! The First SNCITO was held at Cass Bridge Conservation Area, SNCITO2 was held at Jessup’s Falls Conservation Area, and SNCITO3 will be held at High Falls Conservation Area.

SNCITO3 will have a similar schedule to the last SNCITOs. It will be all morning, and end in the mid afternoon. While participating in SNCITO3, remember to wear appropriate footwear and gloves, and be careful when collecting the trash! You are responsible for your own safety!

Please LOG YOUR WILL ATTEND if you think you will be able to make it. Please also indicate how many people are coming with you (only if they are not logging the “Will attend” for themselves).

Updates will be posted here when we get closer to the event. Geocachers will be notified of these announcements if you’ve logged your “Will Attend”.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP OUT? GEO could use your assistance! Let us know by posting on GEO’s forums. We could use some help with any (or all) of the following areas:

- Locating additional suitable cleanup sites generally near Casselman
- Hiding Geocaches to be found on April 28th: submit in advance of the day with a note to reviewer to hold publication until April 25th, and a note on the geocache page: This cache is placed for SNCITO3. Don’t search for this geocache until after 9:30 AM on April 28th.
- Assisting with the running of SNCITO3 on the day of the event (lots of ways to help!)

UPDATE MARCH 29:
MEET at High Falls Conservation Area (Posted coordinates) for the Taste of the Nation breakfast, which will commence promptly at 8:00 AM. Breakfast will consist of Vogel’s BACON, Vogel’s SAUSAGE, PANCAKES, MAPLE SYRUP, scrambled EGGS, HOME FRIES, and JUICE/COFFEE. This catered breakfast is FREE for all the participants in the CITO, paid for by South Nation Conservation Authority in appreciation of all the hard CITO work you’re about to do!

We really need to know beforehand how many plates of food to prepare... so please log your will attend as soon as you’ve cleared your schedule that day, and be sure your log tells how many people you’re bringing with you (for anyone coming who’s not logged their own will attends!) If you need to cancel, please write on the cache page so we aren’t saving food for you! Once on site at High Falls, proceed to the registration station to receive your voucher for breakfast.

From 8:40 AM to 8:50 AM geocachers will be separated (or separate themselves) into groups. These groups will be given a task cleanup site in the general vicinity. We will do our best to match up the difficulty of the pre-selected sites with the ambitiousness of the individual groups. Keep your eyes peeled for geocaches posted in this region just before the event, because "Cache In" is just as fun as "Trash Out"!

At 9:00 AM At 9:00 AM the groups will organize carpooling/travel arrangements to begin cleaning up their site. You’ll need to arrange your own lunch (we recommend you plan a picnic for yourself!) Dress according to the weather, and with good working clothes, footwear and gloves. SNCITO3 will be held on this day and time rain or shine!

We would like everyone to return to High Falls Conservation Area by 1:45 PM, after an intense session of Caching In and Trashing Out! Bring your garbage back to High Falls if possible. If not possible, mark the coordinates of your trash, and let one of the organizers know so we can make arrangements for it to be picked up. The trash will be piled up for the stunning team picture at 2:00 SHARP! Following the picture and loading of trash into SNC vehicles for disposal, DOOR PRIZES will be drawn, and a final CITO check will be performed at High Falls to make sure the conservation area is even nicer than when we arrived. You may not want to go home just yet- a supper after-event is being planned!

NEW SNC GEOCOIN: NEW SNC GEOCOIN: Like SNCITO and SNCITO2, SNCITO3 will feature a new geocoin in the series in Gold or Silver. There are still 2011 SNC Geocoins available, and even a few 2010 SNC Geocoins left (click on links for high resolution pictures). This event is probably your last chance to buy a complete set! As no shipping & handling charges are applied, any of the coins can be purchased for $10.00 each, or 5 geocoins for $45.00 tax included!

DOOR PRIZE DONATION: Please consider donating a geocaching themed Door Prize for a fellow geocacher to win! We will keep track of everyone who donates a door prize, and donors will be entered in a draw to win a set of 3 GOLD SNC GEOCOINS and matching gold plated stands. Other geocachers can enter this draw for $5.00 a ticket, or 3 for $10.00. There will also be a 50/50 draw. Both of these draws are GEO fundraisers so we can cover costs such as prize purchases and annual website fees- Thanks in advance for your support!
