Geocache Description:



The month of February is filled with special days to celebrate such as Groundhog's Day, President's Day,and Valentine's Day. February is also known for being "National Children’s Dental Health Month" and "American Heart Month" and others. Of course, February is famous for hosting Leap Day which comes every four years on February 29th. I have decided to celebrate Leap Year 2012 by releasing 29 caches celebrating the lesser known special days in February. I hope you enjoy this series entitled "Leap Into Caching!”

Leap Into Caching #14: Ferris Wheel Day! Wheeeeeee! What a fun day. This day is in honor of the Ferris Wheel creator's birthday, George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. a civil engineer. In 1893, he showed the first Ferris Wheel at the World's Fair in 1893. There is rumored to be part of the wheel located at Dunn's Bridge in Kouts, Indiana.
