202020202020 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Denali41: I hate to archive this nice cache but feel it is appropriate to do so. The cache is located in the public right-of-way of the Spring Creek bike and pedestrian trail, confirmed so by a city staff representative. However, the nearby building owner appears upset that the cache is located near his property. Rather than have conflict between geocaching activities and him, I am removing the bison tube and archiving the cache. Too bad...

Geocache Description:


CONGRATULATIONS TO PIXEL MAGIC FOR THE FTF!!



For precisely a second at 20 seconds after 8:20 pm on January 20th, we experience 202020202020.   It’s when we attain 2020 Years,  20 Days,  20 Hours, 20 Minutes, 20 Seconds. That’s using our “modern” A.D. calendar, of course—the one we use from the universal time clock for timing of events in our everyday lives. Well, I guess that experience rolls around our planet through the 24 UTC zones, so the way we zone the world for keeping time at any location affects when this moment can be celebrated—just as New Years is celebrated at 24 distinct moments around our Earth.
 
I wasn’t alive the last time humans experienced this:  in 191919191919.  And I expect to check out well before the next, which will occur on 212121212121.  So, celebrate this unique 21st Century occasion by finding this geocache at the exact time.  You will need a headlamp at 202020202020 if you arrive at that precise second!
 
Because the bison tube that was hidden at the original location was continuously being swiped, the cache has been relocated. It’s now adjacent to the Spring Creek Trail, just outside the Cattail Chorus Natural Area trail. The cache container continues to be a bison tube that might take a bit of searching to locate
