The day we placed this cache, the sun rose at 9:13 am and set at 4:56 pm.*
It's the winter solstice which means 7 hours and 43 minutes of daylight at 52N. Rather than falling prey to Seasonal Affective Disorder in these dark days, might we suggest...Geocaching! The Winter Caching Games exist to help you put the ski boots to that Cabin Fever, and embrace the True North. Find a cache, hide a cache, or attend an event and GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. In fact, we were on our way to a WCG event when we hung this bison.
*(In the spirit of full disclosure, we could mention that it was cloudy all day today anyways, but honestly, full exposure is not a good idea at this time of year.)
