My oldest boy and I sometimes play in this field launching the occasional model rocket or hiding/maintaining a geocache. We always notice lots of trash around here, and since there isn't a CITO event during Mega Event weekend, I thought it would be fun to try to squeeze one in between the bulk of events on Saturday afternoon. If the weather isn't too windy, we'll see if we can launch a couple of model rockets for the fun of it after the clean-up.
When: Saturday February 11, 2017 1:00PM - 2:00PM
Where: The posted coordinates east of Ave 6E, south of the Ocotillo development on a dirt/gravel road. 2WD grocery-getter should make it no problem.
What: A typical Cache In, Trash Out event to clean up this area to make it more appealing to anyone traveling through here. My vehicle can hold quite a bit of garbage, but anyone who has a vehicle to carry away large quantities of garbage is definitely encouraged to bring it. My tentative plan now is to take what we collect up to the North Gila Transfer Site off of Laguna Dam Road (see attached waypoint). I'll bring large trash bags and some drinking water, but please bring your own equipment (gloves, trash picker-uppers, etc.).
Directions: Follow Ave 6E south from 32nd Ave. After passing the tract of suburban homes of the Ocotillo neighborhood, turn left on a dirt road to arrive to the posted coordinates.
