Come out for the annual Boulder County CITO and help dismantle a structure that time has taken it's toll on. This building was damaged by strong winds over the past few years and Boulder County would like our help to salvage what we can to be repurposed. Our task is to take the building apart, brick by brick, and stack them either on pallets or vehicles/trailers. These bricks will be reused by the county. In addition, the metal roof is being salvaged too.
This will be a lot of hard work - don't go into this one thinking otherwise.
SAFETY CONCERNS: The terrain is uneven in spots. There will be heavy lifting, nails in the trusses, and other typical hazards.
As the event is over the lunch hour, we will be providing lunch for all volunteers.
Everyone participating at this CITO will receive a 2017 CITO souvenir for their geocaching profile! Also, we'll be hosting a FREE DRAWING as a 'Thank You' for coming out!

This is a Billzjeep inspired event
Who is Billzjeep?
Billzjeep began caching April 2001, logged 965 finds, had 5 hidden caches of his own, and was a recognized cacher in Colorado. He was unable to log his final finds because he passed away suddenly while geocaching with Jeeperz1&2 on March 6, 2004. Since his passing, Colorado has held a CITO event in memory of fallen cachers each year.
