This continues the “This Day in History” calendar series. Without the help of the local cachers, this would not be possible! Thank you!

June 21st: This day marks the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere, and is the day of the year with the most hours of daylight in the northern hemisphere and the least hours of daylight in the southern hemisphere. In other words: Summer Begins!!
