Placed to celebrate the 2012 Leap Day and as an opportunity to fill in that elusive February 29 block on the good old finds calendar. If you did indeed decide to seek the smiley on the intercalary day in question, you are the proud owner of a spiffy new souvenir (compliments of our pals at Groundspeak) and contributed to a new record breaking attempt in the process. Next chance to 'check this box' will be on a cold Monday in 2016, so why not go for it!
This easy P&G cache is a classic muggle-foiling camo style that will be familiar to most cachers and the placement certainly isn't meant to fool anybody ;)
The 'fruit' (Botanists, let's not quibble) is easily accessible from a parking area on Allandale Rd. just off the Outer Ring Road.
Cachers looking to keep the fun going should note that this is an excellent starting point to go after our Halloween-themed series accessible from the beautiful trails of Pippy Park. The adventurous whose tastes lean a little toward the macabre (but still fun!) may find these particularly entertaining.
Happy caching!
UPDATE: It’s official! Geocachers didn’t just double the 2008 Leap Day totals – they combined to make Leap Day 2012 the biggest day in geocaching history. More geocachers logged caches on Leap Day 2012 than any other day in the 11-year history of the GPS-powered treasure hunting adventure. The previous all-time record was set on October 10, 2010 or 10-10-10. On that date 78,313 distinct accounts logged a cache. As of 2:30pm PST on March 7, 2012: 83,516 …geocaching accounts logged caches on Leap Day 2012. All told, geocachers logged nearly 300,000 finds and logs on Leap Day.
