CITO in the Blustery Burbs

A CITO in January?!?!  Why not!  Take a break from your caching day to do a little good for the neighborhood and our caching playground.  We will be meeting at the gazebo near the playground at Lake Arlington in Arlington Hts., IL.  Let's take a walk around the lake, along the 2 mile paved walking path, and pick up trash.

Come join us and share your caching adventures of the day while we clean the path.  Plenty of parking and plenty of caches around the lake. We will provide garbage bags. Bring your own picker if you have one.
