Palindromic dates are those in which the digits can be read the same way forwards or backwards. Dates can be written in varying ways around the world and so a palindromic date in one date format may not be considered a palindrome in another.
22-02-2022 is an example of a palindromic date in the logical European format!

Celebrate Deuces Wild by logging any two geocaches or Event Caches on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 to earn the souvenir.
We are hoping to have some new caches in the vicinity so you can log two (or more) to earn your souvenir.
We shall meet outside The George pub where there are tables and chairs if anyone wants to sit down! If the weather is bad, please bring umbrellas etc. We could go into the pub if the weather is really bad! We will be gathered there when the time is 2.22.
If you really want to be in the spirit of things you could wear a TUTU!!!
This will be a brief half hour event but there will be the opportunity to go into the pub if wanted to. They serve food as well as drinks.
Please feel free to bring along SMALL trackables to swap or ask for help with puzzles etc.
We chose The George because George Washington was born this very day in the USA. He was an American soldier, statesman and Founding Father who served as the first President of the United States from 1789-1797. He Has been called the "Father of the Nation" for his manifold leadership in the formative days of the country.
Below is a little story I borrowed from The Chillihouse with kind permission of Andy to use it... a bit of fun!
A few not so random words about caching:
Was it a rat I saw or was it a car or a cat I saw? Either way, step on no pets as you make your way to the event. Use your caching radar to find the location. It’s important that you don’t nod off, as this may appear rude, and your cheeks might turn redder! “I did, did I?” is a common response when being asked about a previous find you’ve made but don’t remember. If there are any muggles around, mum’s the word…
It’s almost like our civic duty to keep an eye on our stats, to refer to them at every opportunity, where possible level up and to try and get top spot in one of the categories. Some of us like to be the reviver of lonely caches. We’ve all probably been involved in a few caching sagas. Some of us like to cache by kayak. When following me on a drive-by series, pull up if I pull up! It’s never odd or even a bit strange to have a cheeky look behind every electrical box in case there is an unsolved puzzle cache or multi hidden there!
Geocaching is a new tenet for some people. With Adventure Lab caches, are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new eras? Missing trackables – Dammit, I’m mad! Did the cacher borrow or rob them from the cache?
