CAD - May 21 Traditional Cache
-DeRock-: "New" fence over a year ago? No trespassing signs? I'm going to archive this one as a precaution. If the cache owner can do a maintenance visit and verify then I will take another look at it.
Thank you,

Cache A Day – May 21st
May 21st is the 141st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 224 days remaining until the end of the year.
NEWS FLASH: Today is Nurse Nanna's day of origin. Help her celebrate by donning your fanciest nursing togs and singing her a rousing rendition of your own personal birthday song.
The entire month of May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month.
This third week of the month of May is National Medical Transcription Week.
Today is National I Need a Patch for That Day, National American Red Cross Day, National Bike to Work Day, National Defense Transportation Day, National Endangered Species Day, and National Wait Staff Day! I wonder if the Patch day is one celebrated by programmers or by Boy Scouts? For that matter, does the military celebrate Bike to Work Day? I think the image of en entire battalion biking into battle would spur congress to authorize more funds for National Defense Transportation day. Maybe that is why they are celebrated at the same time.

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)
