Geocache Description:



You are looking for small container so BYOP. You can drive right up to GZ. Please secure the container tightly to keep the elements out & carefully return it to its hiding place as you found it so others will enjoy for “Many Blue Moons” to come 



This is to commemorate the recent somewhat rare occurrence on August 31, 2012 of a Blue Moon (Blue in name only) as captured in the photo from Curious Bob’s front yard.

The next blue moon by this definition will fall on August 19, 2024. So you don't have to wait you can find THIS Blue Moon day or night, rain or shine.

The term blue moon originates in folklore. Different traditions place the extra "blue" full moon at different times. In calculating the dates for Lent and Easter, the Christians identified a Lenten moon. Historically, when the moons arrived too early, they called the early moon a so the Lenten moon came at its expected time.

So what is a Blue Moon and why do people say “Once in a Blue Moon” Here is one definition of a Blue Moon: A blue-colored moon is rare. But folklore has defined two different kinds of Blue Moons. A Blue Moon can be the second full moon in a month. Or it can be the third of four full moons in a season. Or as the Webster’s Dictionary tells us: A very long period of time —usually used in the phrase once in a blue moon ;such people happen along only once in a blue moon
