Geocache Description:

366 = 2 × 3 × 61, sphenic number, Mertens function returns 0, noncototient. Also, the number of days in a leap year; it is 26-gonal and 123-gonal. In number theory, a sphenic number (from Ancient Greek: σφήνα, 'wedge') is a positive integer that is the product of three distinct prime numbers. The smallest sphenic number is 30 = 2 × 3 × 5, the product of the smallest three primes. In Roman numerals, it is CCCLXVI. But that’s not what this is all about.

In geocaching 366 is a celebrated milestone when a cacher logs at least one find on each of the day of the year. A cache can be found any day of any year to count. What makes it special is that the extra day can only be obtained once every four years – February 29. This my friends, is what it’s all about.

Come let us celebrate Ladycoop's 366th calendar grid fill-in.

After years of trying, only to be rained out or tornadoed out or just bad luck, our friend and fellow-cacher gets to proudly boast another grid filled in and a challenge met - 366 calendar days of finds! A feat like this is achievable only once every four years. In fact, this event will be calendar day number 366! Ladycoop has done so much for all of us; hosting events at her home, providing hints, etc., it's time for giving back to her. We will meet at Buffalo Wild Wings; 430 Sam Ridley Pkwy; Smyrna, TN, Saturday, August 29 at 11:30, and we'll go to about 1:00 or so.  This will give everyone time to take care of other business and/or go out and find some caches or attend other end of summer gatherings. Who knows, you may get a virtual souvenir. Bring the family and your appetite, and let's share too, some of your own stories of obstacles and challenges you may have faced on obtaining an elusive, coveted geocaching goal.

A special tip of the hat to Michael Nevin and Jon-Jon for working to resolve the scheduling conflicts.
