Cache A Day – January 14th
January 14 is the 14th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 351 days remaining until the end of the year.
Today is National Bald Eagle Appreciation Day, Clean off your Desk Day, Hot Pastrami Sandwich, and Dress Up Your Pet Day.
Locally, we are celebrating Sing Happy Birthday to InfoLady” day. Based on our records, she turns 27 today. Give her a shout and congratulate her on her achievement!
Historical events occurring on January 14th include:

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)
