Cache In Trash Out is an ongoing environmental initiative
supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Since 2002,
geocachers around the world have been dedicated to improving parks
and other cache-friendly places. Through these volunteer efforts,
we help preserve the natural beauty of our outdoor resources.
~~~~~~
2010 marked the 10yr anniversary of Geocaching. Events were held
around the world in celebration. Following on from this, Grounspeak
have declared 20th August 2011 International Geocaching Day.
They're having a big party to celebrate it at the lily pad,
Groundspeak HQ, so we thought we'd join in here from over the pond
:) This CITO is part of the celebrations.
All are welcome to attend including people new to Geocaching and
visitors to Ireland. Please post how many people with each "Will
Attend"
