This Geocache Series has one cache for each of the 12 monthly Full Moons plus two bonus caches. Coordinates for the bonus caches may be discovered in the covers of some of the caches in the series.
The Full Moon has been integral to tracking the change of months and seasons since ancient times. Although the most commonly used Full Moon names are English interpretations of Native American names, some are Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, medieval English, and Neo-Pagan. Many of the names come from the Colonial Americans adopting Native American names into their calendars, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
Technically, the Harvest Moon is the Full Moon closest to the September equinox around September 22. The Harvest Moon is the only Full Moon name determined by the equinox rather than a month. Most years, it’s in September, but around every three years, it falls in October.

(A type of Mystery Cache). In the covers of some of the cache containers in the series, one will find clues to the coordinates of the Bonus Caches. Watch for them.
