Leap Day 2020

Imagine if there was an extra day in the year for geocaching. Well, this year there is! Start planning your outings to get your Leap Day 2020 digital souvenir by finding a cache, Adventure Lab*, or attending an Event on Saturday, February 29th.

Leap Day only comes once every 4 years, so it is fitting to save this day for caches that are hard to come by or difficult to find. Take advantage of your Leap Day by avenging a difficult DNF or cracking the code for a tough Mystery cache.

We can’t wait to hear all about your Events and outings on this special day!
