Geocache Description:

Coords listed are for the last intersection before commuters LEAP from Truro to Bible Hill. Cache is located in Bible Hill.

Leap year comes but once every four years, so this easy puzzle is to celebrate the events, famous births, and deaths from February 29.


UPDATE Feb, 2017- Wiki was used in the original creation of this cache, but as you know, it is not a reliable source of information as it can be edited by well, anyone. Most answers can still be found using this site, but a good old Google search will work as well.
