SW MI Geocachers - Kalamazoo Area CITO Event v1.1

25 July 2020, 10:00 - 11:00

WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL EDITION OF THE
"SW MI Geocachers - Kalamazoo Area CITO Event"!!!!

On November 22, 2019, I held a CITO event at this Park-n-Ride and noticed that the Park-n-Ride was "Available" for adoption through the MDOT Adopt-A-Highway program. Through prodding from vj24, who has adopted and hosts his own version of CITO event at one of the local Park-n-Rides in Holland, Michigan, I looked into "officially" adopting this Park-n-Ride as a way for us geocachers to help out the state and local communities by doing our part to clean up our little chunk of Mother Earth; while also giving geocachers the opportunity to earn a CITO icon and/or souvenir.

This event is scheduled to be held on Saturday, July 25, 2020, from 10:00am until 11:00am; but may be shorter or longer, depending on how much work is involved and how many folks show up to help out.

Traditionally, CITO Souvenir opportunity events have been held twice a year for one week each. In 2019, Geocaching HQ introduced the CITO "Season", which extended the time frame for obtaining souvenirs for each "Season" from just one week, to numerous months.

This year, Cache In Trash Out® (CITO) souvenir opportunities will be held during the following times:

CITO 2020 - Season 1
March 1 - August 31

and

CITO 2020 - Season 2
September 1 - November 30

Please plan to join us on July 25, 2020, from 10:00am until 11:00am (or until done) at the posted coordinates (US-131 & "D" Ave., Exit 44)

This is a family friendly CITO event, as we will not be walking along the highway, so children are welcome to attend, but please keep an eye on the youngsters for their safety.

Per MDOT requirements, I will spend a couple of minutes going over a few safety guidelines prior to the event.

There will be safety vests, trash bags, and disposable gloves provided, as well as some trash grabbers; however, you're more than welcome to bring your own gloves, grabbers, etc. if you wish.

Prior to participation, the MDOT Adopt-A-Highway Rules require that all participants:
1) Watch MDOT's official Safety Video, available HERE;
2) Read MDOT's official Safety Brochure, available HERE;
3) Sign-in on a participant sheet that must be completed and returned to MDOT for statistical purposes.
