Time: 9am-11am
Location: Castlewood Canyon State Park WEST ENTRANCE: Cherry Creek (Natural) and Creek Bottom Trail
(Please RSVP ASAP with headcount for planning purposes)

This was a great success when we did this two years ago. It is time for another good time here. I contacted the park, and everyone who comes to help will have a special volunteer pass for free entry this year too!

We will be meeting at the posted coordinates at 9am. There is a restroom here, and some picnic tables as well if you want to hang out after the event and enjoy this clean park. We will be focusing on the Cherry Creek (Natural) and Creek Bottom Trails (see map above). It is rated as a moderate trail. I am asking volunteers to help clean at their comfort level. If you are able, the creek bed area and within the boulders are pretty littered with bottles. If not, stay closer to the path and clean these areas. Do NOT go near loose cliff edges, we don't want any injuries, just less litter. If the litter is in a sketchy location, leave it. We should also remove any invasive plants (Mullein) that we see. I can show you what this looks like, and the best way to handle it onsite. If we have a large enough group, we can hit up other trails as well. Please invite your friends, cachers or muggles, all are invited. Know any scouts/students who need service hours? Bring them.

I will give everyone 90 minutes to clean the most that you can (9am - 10:30am), and then we will again meet at the posted coordinates. Please bring all the trash you gather with you. We will take a photo, and raffle off the awesome 2018 GCCO Gold Geocoin! I will try to get some more prizes, and will update as I do. After that, you are free to picnic, geocache, keep cleaning, leave, hike, nap, or whatever else you can think of (within park rules and regulations).

I may be able to attend. I need to double-check when my sister is visiting, but am logging a "will attend" to put it on my calendar.
