Jordan River geocachers clean path for all
The 2011 Jordan River Bike Ride and Clean Up started with 25 geocachers on the trail. This Cache In Trash Out (CITO) event was hosted by Chris Rock, her real name. Her geocaching handle is HikingSeal.
The group started at 9:30am heading north on the trail just north of 9000 S. The biking cachers would ride down the trail and stop at the coordinates of a cache. Those who had found the cache before would pick up any trash that they found while those who had not found the cache would look for it. Trash that was found was deposited in the numerous garbage cans along the trail.
Chris had participated in a similar event when she first started caching. She had such a good time, meeting other geocachers and learning more about the game that she wanted to duplicate the event.
Mzblubrd, also known as Tracie Bennett said that she liked the CITO events because “it gives back to the community and makes it an enjoyable place to be.” Diane VanderPol whose geocaching handle is anneke13, said that CITO makes a difference and is certainly “more fun than picking up trash.”
The group stopped for food and drinks provided by the GPS club of Horizon Elementary School about halfway through the ride. They then continued northwards ending the ride just north of 1700 N.
