Geocache Description:


September is the ninth month of the year and has 30 days in it.  September is the first month of the fall season.  September is often associated with fire because it was the first month of the Roman god Vulcan, who was the god of fire and the forge. In 1752, the British changed to thje Gregorian calendar from the Julian calendar, they eliminated 11 days from the month of September to get the seasons to align.  They went from September 3rd to the 14th, effectively removing September 3 to the 13 as they never happened in British history.  September's birthday stone is a sapphire.  September's flower is the aster.  And finally, the two Zodiac signs for September are Virgo and Libra.
