To get to where you can post, use these clicks to take you to the form: Click http://www.geocaching.com/hide/report.aspx Click http://www.geocaching.com/seek/default.aspx Click http://www.geocaching.com/hide/report.aspx GoTo: Cache Type Select from pull down menu: Cache In Trash Out Event Below is discussion on what those links are and what you see when you click them. To get to where I could post my CITO event, I used this link http://www.geocaching.com/hide/report.aspx from the official homepage for Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site (http://www.geocaching.com). On the left, under the link titled "GETTING STARTED", the link below it, labeled "HIDE AND SEEK A CACHE" Clicking on that second one takes you to http://www.geocaching.com/seek/default.aspx This page is split in half with a heading on the left column saying "Seek a Cache..." in green a heading on the right colum says "Find a Cache..." and is blue This is one of those times where you are supposed to read the directions and learn about what you are getting ready to do before you are allowed to do it. Not a bad idea. That's what the first couple of paragraphs and links are for. But what you are looking for is the next link to take you to the "Online form", so click that to get to http://www.geocaching.com/hide/report.aspx On the first open line is the "Cache Type". Use the pull down arrows to drop the menus down. Select "Cache In Trash Out Event". The second line is for the "Cache Size". I selected "Other (See description)" and gave details about the size of the area to be covered and the amount of time set aside for the event in the details.

It requred a great deal of my time to locate and determine how to how to purchase a CITO coin, how to learn about CITO events, how to post a CITO event on the calendar. I would like to put them all in one place! The geocoin can be bought in the CITO geocoin shop. Other useful links follow.

Does anybody know how to get posted to the CITO calendar of events?

We've created our second annual CITO event in a series called Support 4 Parks. Several different agencies are working together for create and staff an Earth Day Celebration on April 24, 2010. The day is opening with the CITO event, and people will be encouraged to not litter and to pick up trash during the event. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...ae-46f99ffbb0e7 It was helpful to find the "official" Earth Day Weekend for CITO events posted here. Janie Collins was awarded the CITO Geocoin last year, and another will be awarded this year. So, how about 2011? I'd like to get official dates for planning purposes before the year is over. I would like for this information to be simpler to locate. I scheduled last year's CITO event to help have more events placed on the CITO Earth Day weekend. Here's a picture of last year's participants. It was the area's first ever Geocaching event that I know of. http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/9c70ef...114a1a6bb97.jpg Janie is being awarded a Geocoin for collecting the most trash. She deserves a halo for collecting her five little children, getting them dressed, and helping her husband collect trash for our event!

From that listing http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...89-b4b45ff2faf4 : "** This cache is a locationless cache that was approved in 2002 by special permission of Groundspeak. Caches like this are no longer being approved. The reason this cache is still alive and active is because it is grandfathered under the old guidelines." Yes, you can clean up any area you want in that state of Minnesota and count it as a find.

Hello! Greetings from Virginia in the USA! I bought my first GPS this afternoon (actually, it was yesterday afternoon...I'm up late at night in the wee hours of the morn.) It's a Garmin. I'm hoping to set up CITO cache sites in each of the public parks in Martinsville, Virginia as a service project associated with the Virginia Master Naturalists (www.virginiamasternaturalist.org/southwesternpiedmont.html). I've gotten support from the Department of Leisure Services in our city, who was extremely supportive, as he's been understaffed because of budget cuts. Also providing support and encouragement is the Virginia Museum of Natural History. Never having found or sponsored a cache, this website has been very helpful and logically organized. The handbook published by the Florida Geocaching Association was so very helpful... I'm awaiting approval from our chapter before I submit my proposals for events and caches online. What got me interested was the enthusiasm of friends who had discovered the fun and excitement of this healthy form of exercising with family and friends. I'm anticipating the discovery of many new friends!
