+Mopar Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Here is the perfect spot to collect all those "cache in, trash out" pics we see in the logs. Add them here so everyone can see some of the great things geocachers do for the enviroment. I think it's only fair to start with this picture, taken from the Cache Clean Up Event last year in South Carolina. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. [This message was edited by Mopar on March 28, 2003 at 08:32 AM.]
+Kouros Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 I haven't got any pictures to add yet, as I've only just started taking a camera out with me when I go caching, but I have to say that every time I see the photo from the South Carolina event, I can't help but smile. Maybe it's the strategically placed branch, I don't know, but it's still an impressive sight. Perhaps this photo should be forwarded to the LNT'ers? ------ An it harm none, do what ye will
+Mopar Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 These are of T-Storm & BrokenWing's daughter, Geoferret. They are still some of my favorite pictures ever posted here. They are from the 'Cache In, Trash Out' Pix thread. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.
+Dad and the Dynamic Duo Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 Here's a couple of ours: We've also sent some to the Cache In Trash Out link on the main page. I wonder if there are still plans to do something with those. I'm guessing were not the only ones to post pictures. George

+Ttepee Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 Here's my haul for today. The larger collection weighed a ton... lots of D batteries in it and waterlogged stuff.. but the killer was a bag that contained a carton of eggs..mostly broken and somewhat rotten.. it made for a not so pleasant ride home... of course I had to double the trip home...there was a new cache across the river.. after all... there might have been more trash there ;-)

+bitbrain Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 Groundspeak Cache Log for Cache'n Trash Out -Memphis #1 by Salvo October 13, 2002 by bitbrain -HUMOR ON I get into the general vicinity of the cache, and my GPS starts going bonkers due to tree cover. I line up and get cross bearings from a number of different compass points, and after marching around a bit, and 45 minutes later, I spot the cache and am about to pull the cache when I hear a snap. I come out of my cache find euphoria and look in the direction to see what.. a dog? No.. RAZORBACK!! He's about 40ft from me. My first thought is the yell ''GIT!'', and I threw my GPS at him (Looking back on that, WHAT was I thinking!), then I threw my Cellular at him, then I threw my green cache bag at him -all missing the pig. -HUMOR OFF Heh heh heh That's great! I hope you've recovered, Salvo. The girls and I found the cache box right away at about 4:45pm. We filled 2 bags to bursting & I had to go back to get more bags from the Ammo box. There's still plenty of trash out there, so y'all don't think we took it all -- you'll just have to go a little further from the cache to get yours.
+CWL Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 Cache'n Trash Out -Memphis #1 by Salvo This area was wasted with trash everywhere on October 19, 2002. I went out there the last weekend with another cacher, and had a hard time finding trash to fill up a bag!

+Kouros Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 Here's the result of my CITO day clearout at GC9C7B. You should be able to spot: Old Gate, satellite dish, rusty car wheel, half a tricycle, and three bags of generic trash. Sad part is, the amount of effort it must take to get the stuff there is about equal to that which it would take to get it to the nearest city dump. While trashing out, a few dog walkers commented that it was 'about time' that someone did something to help, assuming I was working for the council - they were rather shocked to discover I was doing it in my spare time! I tried to encourage them to join me, but alas, no luck, although one did promise to bring bin-liners with her next time she walked this way. ------ An it harm none, do what ye will

+honeychile Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 TriadGeocachers (in Piedmont North Carolina) held their first CITO event on April 26, 2003. People from several cities converged to give a helping hand to a newly developed park. We're not talking plain ole litter here -- this was an illegal dumping area, full of the nastiest kind of trash imaginable (including dirty diapers and syringes). What a change our efforts made! In a relatively short period of time, the mess was bagged and hauled off to the dumpster.

Nascat Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 This was taken at my first Hidden Cache, 'Stop at the Bank/Delaware Overlook' on the Delaware River PA. The reason I'm sitting and only have one small bag of bottles and such is that as I was walking bent over at the Cache Site I walked head first into a Tree, the hat is covering a nice big purple bump.

+Sluggo Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Here in the Tri-Cities of Washington we got a small group together to pick up some trash near two of my caches for International CITO Day. First we went to WYE Park at the Mud Hole. This is the whole group: Names (left to right, back row): J, M (of J&M), Sugar (holding Ryan), Sweet-Pea and Daisy-Mae. (front row): Sluggo, and Quartermaster (Sweet-Pea, Daisey-Mae, and Quartermaster are all part of a family called the quartermasters). And here is the next generation of geocachers and land stewards: Ryan (J&M's son) Sweet-Pea and Daisey-Mae Then we moved to Sluggo's Delta Hairlines cache. This place once was a trash heap and now it's so clean that we had to work hard to find any trash. (We found out later that another group had cleaned up the area a week before). - Sluggo and the East Cascades Geocachers This 'flying saucer' situation is not at all imaginary or seeing too much in some natural phenomena. Something is really flying around. The phenomenon is something real and not visionary or fictitious. - Gen.

+EliJoMikMiNi Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 This is part of my log for a cache where picking up the trash was a money-maker... GC2972 'Waterfalls at CampBuckeye' "Lots of trash around,including a Wal-Mart bag. While searching for the cache I also picked up lots of beer cans and other trash. When I got back to my car there was a lot more trash there so I continued to clean-up the area. Found $1.00 in the brush by the stream, so I thought to myself 'hmmm,maybe there is more $$'. Sure enough, when I went for the Wendy's cups in the stream (only a couple inches deep) there I found a 5$ new bill in the water. Great day to cache. Found the cache, cleaned up the area, and found cash! Thanks for the hide Blueyedkansan and Rick! " The harder you work,the harder it is to give up. Vince Lombarde
