Very Cool CITO (Cache In Trash Out) Idea

Saw this idea in Michigan last weekend and I thought I would pass the idea on to you.

In quite a few of the caches I noticed 35mm containers with grocery bags inside. On the outside was a label stating Cache In Trash Out. It went on to say that the enclosed grocery bag could be used to pick up trash on the way back to the car. Then you could replace the bag and place the container with a new bag into the next available cache.

What a very cool idea. Can't wait to make some of these myself.

Caches #2 and #3 today.. They just sort of happened..

Okay actually #1 and #3 where completely by being at the right place at the right time. Went to the Expo Center at the NC State Fairgrounds this morning and there is one legendary cache known as RBC.. Really Big Cache (and by the RBC Center). Anyways, since I was literally one mile down the road I thought I would give it a shot. Long story short, found it and it has been logged and is in history. That was cache #2 today...

Redneck series in the Raleigh, NC area is a real blast. Hooked this one up on my way to the local CVS store. Woot!

Chatting with Hippopotamama

One of the cool things about GeoCachers is that there are so many of us. In fact, I can hazard a guess you probably know several. Last Friday I happened to bump into one of the greats.

Hippopotamamma and her husband Rampantbear are well known for hiding hundreds of caches from micros to huge lockers all over Wake County, NC. Her "Welcome to Wake" series alone is legendary. I have personally found many of their caches from South Garner all the way to practically Oxford.

I had a great time learning some tricks of the trade and also a couple of hidden secrets about caches in the area. What a wonderful person and an amazing contribution to the sport of GeoCaching. Thanks For The Hunts Hippopotamamma!
