There are nearly 100 geocaches in the primary Frederick Olmsted-designed parks in Louisville - Cherokee, Iroquois, and Shawnee. After spending so much time in the parks in the last year, we decided it was time to "give something back". We organized a geocaching "Cache-In, Trash-Out" event to pick up trash along Beargrass Creek near Big Rock in Cherokee Park. Seventeen of our geocaching-buddies joined in the effort.
The Louisville Olmsted Parks Conservancy (http://www.olmstedparks.org/) supported our efforts with tools, trash bags, etc. After 3 hours or so, we had made a noticeable difference in that stretch of Beargrass Creek. Plans are underway to make this a semiannual effort.
