Geocache Description:


Placed for the 2019 DST event.


Benjamin Franklin is erroneously credited with Daylights Savings time. It is doubly errenous- first, because the concept has existed since ancient times, and because Franklin himself thought the concept silly. His 1784 writing on the subject was, in fact, satire. The concept would not be formally adopted until World War I, as an attempt to saving on coal and energy.


The cache final should be straightforward, muggle activity may vary. See the hint if you need a nudge.
