This cache trail was placed to help us celebrate Leap Year geocaching style. Please cache responsibly!
The challenge is to find 7 different cache types.
The cache is at the posted coords, all finds count, and the 7 icons do not need to be found on the same day
HISTORY LESSON: In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII created the Gregorian calendar that we use today by adding February 29 during a Leap Year. Adding Leap Years ensures a more accurate alignment with the Earth's orbit. A Leap Year occurs every four years, with exceptions for years divisible by 100 but not by 400. Yes, that means that we will not have a Leap Year in 2100, the 100th anniversary year of Geocaching.
Interestingly, the term Leap Day actually refers to the fact that under the normal 365 day calendar year, each date advances one weekday every year (say from Tuesday to Wednesday). But during Leap Year, each calendar date advances by two weekdays (say from Tuesday to Thursday). So in this example, the date Leaps Wednesday during Leap Year - It Leaps a Day.
WARNING: Take the DT ratings on these caches seriously, they take a Village to find. Come prepared with a wide assortment of TTOTs and consider caching with friends. Have fun out here, but know your limits and be safe!
