September is here, and for many, that means school is back in session!
This Geocache of the Week, Kindergarten (GCAYECB), sends geocachers back to the basics: Kindergarten, to be exact. But this isn’t quite the school day you remember. Instead of practicing your ABCs, you’ll attend eight hands-on “classes” on your way to the all-important final exam.
