Geocachers try to live by the “CITO” motto… Cache In, Trash Out and today the River City Geocaching and Dining Society (RCGDS) participated in the Folsom Creek Week cleanup efforts.  Theresa and I joined them in their 3rd year efforts at cleaning up Gold Creek.  We shimmied down the steep embankment to the creek below and started helping haul out junk and trash that people had thrown down there.  I sort of figured we’d be with a trash bag picking up fast food wrappings and cigarette butts…. noooo, we helped haul up tires and a couch and a cloths dryer and a microwave and some other large things we couldn’t really identify.  The large number of young teens that turned out to help was quite impressive and they worked hard!  It was a fun, dirty, wet morning and we helped clean up a ton of trash!  Afterwards Theresa and I headed over to the nearby park to try for some new geocaches that had been recently hidden.  And then is was home for a long hot shower to clean off the mud from me!
