All right, let's try this again!
Join us on Sunday, June 27th from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM at Portland Avenue Park as the Cool Cow Cachers host our first CITO of 2021!
This is a great opportunity to earn both your CITO 2021 Season 1 souvenir and log the Let’s improve the outdoors - Locationless Cache GC8NEAT!
For our June CITO, we'll be mooooving on over to the Eastside neighborhood and Portland Avenue Park. This old park, built in 1937, has been home to a couple of caches that we know of over the years. The first was a Difficulty 3 nano that tended to wander over time adding an extra bit of spice to the find. The current cache is a Terrain 3 small, guaranteed to put an end to your methane emissions. 
We'll be easing back into the CITO swing of things with a standard trash clean-up so bring your gloves and grabbers if you have them.
We'll provide hot beverages and morning treats to give you a little kick start but that is not the only benefit to be earned. Metro Parks Tacoma has a great program that allows volunteers (that's you) to log hours spent working in the parks to earn a pass good for discounted or free access to many Metro Parks facilities and programs.

Our city parks are an integral part of the geocaching experience in Tacoma. There are currently over 150 active geocaches and Adventure Lab caches within 41 different Tacoma Parks. (For those of you working on the Tacoma Black Cow Challenge, fully one-third of the required caches are within a Tacoma Park.)
In 2020 we decided to hold a series of monthly CITO events. We made it through March but we all know what happened after that. We're excited to get started again in 2021! Each month we will visit a different park and some months we may even visit a couple of smaller parks during the day.

CITO can happen on every geocaching adventure, not just during events! Pick up trash that you see on the trail. Clean up the area around each geocache. These small acts make a huge difference. |
