Harris Lake 10th Anniversary CITO

Well, my first CITO is in the books. My grandson Andrew, my daughter-in-law, myself and approximately 30 other geocachers met at Harris Lake to do a little trash pick up and find a few caches. It would be my first "event" and I was looking forward to meeting a few of the people who hide the caches I've been finding around the Raleigh, Cary and Durham area.

Harris Lake Park is a 680 park situated on a peninsula jutting out into the Shearon Harris Reservoir. Because of its proximity to various trails and miles of shoreline it has an abundance of geocaches. Some you can hike to and some you can kayak to. In fact, there are so many caches that a moratorium has been placed on any new caches. Only when a cache is archived can another be placed. Still, there's enough to keep a cacher busy for more than a few outings.

We had a fun day. The weather cooperated and despite more than a few ticks, everyone went home feeling good about cleaning the environment and spending time with fellow geocachers. We were also able to claim three FTFs as part of the CITO.
