An astronomical year lasts slightly less than 365 and 1/4 days. The historic Julian calendar has three common years of 365 days followed by a leap year of 366 days, by extending February to 29 days rather than the common 28 days. The Gregorian calendar, the world's most widely used civil calendar, makes a further adjustment for the small error in the Julian algorithm. Again each leap year has 366 days instead of 365. This extra leap day occurs in each year that is a multiple of 4 (except for years evenly divisible by 100, but not by 400).
Come celebrate Leap Year 2024 and check off that February 29 box on your "Finds for Each Day of the Year" matrix.There may even be a local geocaching challenge (GC3RGRP) that requires you to find a geocache (or attend an event) on all 366 days before you can log it as found.
It could be raining so there is a shelter to shelter us from the rain.
I hope to see you there!
