CITO GeoArt

[+CheekyBrit]

I've seen GeoArt of quite a few types: letterboxes, multis, traditionals, wherigos, mysteries, lab caches, and even combinations of types. But I haven't seen a GeoArt of CITOs.
As far as I can tell, there was a GeoArt in Maryland that featured a single CITO once: GC688HX, but never a GeoArt of CITOs..... 

UNTIL NOW!

A GeoArt of CITOs just popped up in Pocatello: GCAV0AC

Has this ever happened before? They each are a proper CITO on their own, but are there any possible controversies that arise from this? Does anyone else wanna try making CITO GeoArt?

A couple we've seen, you could use a CITO to pick up archived caches left from old "geoart"...

Nice to clean up a lot of areas but I see it as primarily a geoart for locals to complete.  I don't think too many people will travel to and stay in Pocatello nine straight days to complete a CITO geoart.

That is something I was tossing and turning over. Would it be better to get as close to event stacking as possible (2 hours apart or 20 miles apart minimum) and cram them all together? 

You could fit 5 CITOs in a day separating only by distance, something like this:

6am-7am
9am-10am
noon-1pm
3pm-4pm

6pm-7pm

 

Then it could squeeze in with just 2 days. In retrospect, maybe that was the better option.

I made this mostly for people to see, smile that someone made it, but not feel pressure to attend all of them. At the time, I didn't anticipate many people would want to come and pick up trash for two days straight in a different city. Maybe next summer I can do something similar but in 2 days...
The 'one a day' format is easier for people to align their schedules for at least one of them, and is easier for the Portneuf River Vision team to come along. If someone does come to Pocatello for 9 days they'd have enough to keep them busy with the mountainous caches and the QE2 geoart.

Strictly from the geoart standpoint, I don't know if stacking them would attract more people.  The smilies will only be on the map for a couple weeks and then the events get archived so those that are motivated by geoart may not be too motivated by this.  But it is novel that you could find those nine locations to form a CITO geoart.

It seems like it would be rather difficult to do CITO geo-art honestly i.e. the posted coordinates are actually relevant to the event and there is enough trash to pick up and/or planting to be done to justify multiple events.
