2013 Fall HOBO CITO - Turnagain Pass Leap Frog Cache In Trash Out® Event

This CITO Event is brought to you by the Members of:

Working hard to promote Geocaching in Alaska! Please join us today!

Saturday, October 5th at 1:00PM at the East Rest Stop on the top of Turnagain Pass!

End summer in SouthCentral with a fun-filled weekend cleaning and camping trip starting in Girdwood and running down to the Russian River! This is the second running of a Hobo CITO series that was devised, developed, and planned in the GeocacheAlaska! forums last winter. The spring session was a great success, so we're going to end up the season by squeezing in one more frenzy of cleaning in between the tourist season and the rapidly approaching snow season. Let's get rid of some of that junk before it gets covered up for the winter!

This HOBO CITO site is the second stop and we will meet at these coordinates at 1PM to sign in, register for door prizes, and break up into at least 2 teams of Hobos. Once the teams are formed up, they will be assigned a list of rest stops, rec sites, and highway pullouts between here and Tern Lake at the Seward-Sterling highway junction. We will have all afternoon to leap from one dirty spot to the next and do a little trash collecting. There will be time to jot your initials on a cache log or two along the way.

Once everyone has arrived at the Tern Lake rest stop, we will consolidate the trash for a photo-op and then draw for door prizes (must be present to win). As with the previous Hobo CITO events, you get to put a new raffle ticket in the box at the beginning of each event. The more events you attend, the better your chances are to win a prize.

Following this event, the group will meet up in the Russian River Campground to pitch our tents and gather around the campfire to tell scary caching stories. On Sunday morning, we'll have a community breakfast event and then dig in to clean up the Russian River Campground. An informal meeting for a late lunch/early dinner in Cooper Landing will follow.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend this CITO event, even if you are not going to travel with the crew to clean up all 3 CITO sites or participate in the Saturday night camping. Many hands make light work. We look forward to seeing you there!
