Shanti and Trey

Thanks Geogeek. That makes my job easier. Shanti

Everyone in the whole world understands the need for dog walks. Any weird side of the road spot you are in is fine. I usually have the Ladies with me and they are better than cammo tape. The other day I apparently pulled over and looked like a suspicious person. The Ladies were with Trey and I was with my brother Satya. The local police had to pull in after me, park, run my plates and then drive real slow out of the lot. I figured if they actually asked me anything I would explain geocaching and let them play with the GPS. No chance. I just kept arranging the car and looking at a big map and shaking my head. Satya helped in the arranging and rearranging of the car and more map looking. After they left we got out and cached. If the Ladies were with us, no cares. I felt weirdly out of place and visible and obvious with out the girls. CITO wasn't going to work here, it was clean. Well, there was some dead thing that I wouldn't touch with any pole. The Ladies would have liked it. The camera or binoculars would attract too much attention. The trash bag is the best, nondog method. No matter what others assume, they aren't interested. If they are they are staring at you,they are wondering why you are doing this. Is it court ordered? Is it voluntary? Is it my job? Or they might be fellow geocachers.... Adopt a dog from the pound and find a true best friend. All dogs love geocaching! They also love trash. Sadie will seek the trash ahead of me. She knows what I'm looking for and she likes being first. If only she would sniff out the geocaches...

Dude, I am so impressed with the TB idea. I thought I was the only one to have thought of it. Check out PRONOIA!!! the TB. I just set it loose and there are no miles yet. Maybe this weekend. I have some things to add to the discussion. Someone said they could barely fit a tall kitchen trash bag in a film cannister. I have this habit of immediately shaking out the bag when I pull it out of the box. Don't do it. Use it airless and flat. The trick is a series of folds and rolls. While you've got it laid out on the counter you can easily add your personalized CITO sticker. Again fold and roll, wadding will never be easy. You don't want to limit yourself to film cannisters. I love Pill Bottles. Everyone knows those orange and white screw cap jobbies. I get my supply from what ever I am perscribed. I used to recycle them back to the pharmacy until I thought of them as CITO containers. It's quite possible they would have a large supply of free stuff for the geocacher. I haven't asked the pharmacist if I could have any. Let me know your results. Let me sing the Pill Bottle praises. They come in all sizes. The CITO bags sold at Groundspeak is bound to fit some. I choose the EZoff lid kind. For the person concerned with kids getting hurt, just get the child proof caps. Because they come in all sizes they are flexible in range. The smaller caches can have a film canister while those with space to spare can handle larger containers. Some good items for stuffing include, but is not limited to, Nitrile Gloves - Large, tall kitchen trash bags, shopping bags, maybe a free CITO sticker to the first finder. Don't be daunting by adding trash bags so big no one can carry it, or so many it looks hard. I do like the labeling or identifying sticker to show our quiet help. Mostly we like to hide and lurk. The official CITO bag in the dumpster may not be a billboard, but that's the kind of advertising I like. Anything that is a vessel and label friendly can be a CITO container. Like one poster said, use candy containers. Make the CITO as fun as possible, a game. Make people want to white wash a fence. My dog won't stop messing with trash and I think I inadvertently trained her... Thanks to everyone who plays the CITO game. Thankyou.
