Let’s start the second week of 31 Days of Caching in August. Get another smiley of a possible 31 Souvenirs. You may celebrate anything you want for five (5) to ten (10) minutes. Maybe you’d like to remember that on August 8, 1988, Goose Gossage registers career save #300. Or that the Temperature hits a high of 88 on 8/8/88 in NYC
Other events that you could celebrate:
- 70 - Tower of Antonia destroyed by Romans
-
- 1585 - John Davis enters Cumberland Sound in search of the Northwest Passage
-
- 1854 - Smith & Wesson patents metal bullet cartridges
-
- 1945 - Pres Harry S Truman signs UN Charter
- 2000 - Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley is raised to the surface after 136 years on the ocean floor
- Or merely that the August 1 is the 220th day of the year
The coordinates take you to a parking area that is only 50feet to a Long John Silver/A&W. Come and have a root beer float to celebrate another smiley - I will stick around until 7:30 for those that work late.
