This Cache a Day Series will run all year for 2010. Caches will remain active for one year from date of placement (unless the site becomes otherwise unsuitable for a cache prior to that time).
Bonus points for finding the cache on the day it is released.
Double bonus points if it is your birthday! (Send me a note with your date of birth and I will include it in the cache listing.)
Triple bonus points for finding the entire series. (Ok, so that should be worth a lot more. We’ll figure out some suitable award for any survivors left at the end of the year)
