Celebrate Leap Year by looking for the Leap Year Cache! A leap year is a year in which an extra day in added to the calendar in order to synchronize it with the seasons. Since the tropical year is 365.242190 days long, a leap year must be used roughly once every four years. In a leap year, the extra day (known as a leap day) is added at the end of February, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28 days. In the Gregorian calendar currently in use worldwide there is a leap year every year divisible by four except for years which are both divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400. 2008 is a leap year. The Leap Year Cache was put in place on "Leap Day", February 29, 2012 and will remain active for one year. This cache is in a 6" X 6" X 3" plastic Lock-n-Lock container with a dark lid and contains a first finder's prize and some nice items of treasure. Please replace the container the way you found it.
