CITO Geocoin

[+Guesthouses]

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.

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.
