+Packanack Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Not to worry Mike, it looked so good that some of the folks who couldn't go are planning to do a dejavu. What great pictures, what a great looking crew. As I rode down the Thruway yesterday on the way back from Boston I was thinking to myself, wow that is one big hill. Way to go folks.

+Packanack Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) APRIL 20TH , 2008 APPROACHES That is CITO Day, we Sunrisers have bandied about an idea of holding a CITO. Please express your interest for a CITO, to be held on April 20th. If there is no expressed interest it will not get underway. We have all enjoyed various Sunrise Activities over the course of the last year, maybe we can all get together and put our shoulders to the wheel for a couple of hours .

However, I vote for High Mountain. But I will do it where ever you set it up Quote Link to comment
+WaylessWood Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm willing to join in as well. Anyplace is fine with me, but I'll second the vote on High Mountain. I didn't see much trash there the other day except at the trail head, but then again I didn't have much time to explore too far. Quote Link to comment

+PaulThBrit Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 That date sounds good to me at this point. The location is fine - I look forward to exploring the preserve only a couple of miles from home. Anything to clean up our local environment. Paul Quote Link to comment
+Team Divi Divi Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 We are running in a 5K race through the Lincoln Tunnel on the 20th so won't be able to make a morning thing for the CITO. looks interesting w/ a bunch of caches. Appears to be near Franklin Lakes NJ from my google search. here is a trail description I wonder if Briansnat posted that trail desc? trail map link Quote Link to comment
+Packanack Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) An event listing has been sent in for April 20, th, CITO at High Mountain Preserve. 7:30AM to 9:30 AM and thereafter you are on your own, some might actually want to explore and go caching, there are many fine caches in the region. Thanks for your enthusiastic response. There is a meeting place which is the Red Trail Head , and strangely enough there is a cache there. Parking will be at the William Paterson Parking lot.N 40° 57.141 W 074° 11.994 Maybe some of us locals could see fit to drop a box or two in some underutilized section of the preserve. I did a quick check and there are a lot of caches in the area , so folks who come will have a good selection of activities to select from after the CITO-use zip code 07470 for a PQ check out the pictures that appear on Weathernowcast cache page for the Red Trail Trailhead.

Only 8 'Will Attends'??? What's up guys? Though we only had about 8 attendees on Perfect Tommy's clean up effort, still did a good job in Saxon Woods. See you Sunday.

+Packanack Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Almost 200 pounds per mile of litter and malt liquor bottles and left behind junk was removed through the solid efforts of a group of cachers this morning. I never knew there were that many types of malt liquors. High Mountain has never looked so good. Thanks to all the folks who got up early, and made the effort, your efforts will make the hike more pleasing to those who come after us. Thanks Brian for the Buttons. Quote Link to comment

+buttaskotch Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 GC1ABZ8 Cache In Trash Out Event Pick up trash, Plant a tree – help the Planet! Hey guys, I am coming back into play after a few hectic work weeks, I feel quite badly for missing last weekends CITO, you guys did a great job! Well, there is a CITO in my neck of the woods. The area where I grew I up and its still very close to my heart! APEC is a wonderful nature center in Eastern Queens. There are a few nearby caches, 2 of which I placed. Beautiful views of Long Island Sound is very nearby. A some pretty good diners nearby-Scobee anyone? I will most likely be heading up to the Bronx or Westchester afterwards as there has been a lot of cache placement activity in the past few months. For more info on what's needed, please go to the organizers (I gather I am not allowed to link up to their site, Metrogc dot org) at the top of the page to get to their site, for tree donation info and other pertinent info. I hope some of Step off folks can make it. I would be great to see some friendly faces at this CITO Buttaskotch Quote Link to comment

+macatac1961 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 One way around my fear of Harry Dolphin caches is to go with a dozen people. I'm in for the Terrace Pond hike. Quote Link to comment
+MountainRacer Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 A herd of elephants wouldn't help with Harry Dolphin's High Point. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
+Packanack Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Harry and I had a pleasant exchange when discussing this placement. I had attempted to reach it on three occassions previously with the idea in mind of placing a cache. Being that I closely resemble a herd of elephants I am hoping to group up and rely on guile rather than brutish crashing through the brush. Quote Link to comment

+Harry Dolphin Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 If you find the orange circle, let me know. And I'll move the cache, if necessary. Then, there's the other highpoint, a bit south of the benchmark to be considered... Quote Link to comment
