Leap Day is special in it’s own right, but for geocachers it marks a day many of them have been anticipating for quite some time. Finding a cache on this day will enable them to complete a very popular geocaching challenge.

Typically referred to as the Days of the Year Challenge, it requires the geocacher to find a cache on every single day of the calendar (all in one specific year is NOT required). So unless they found a cache on either of the previous two Leap Day’s since geocaching began, they could complete the challenge with a find today.

To help commemorate this achievement, two events were planned:

Leapin Lizards! – on our normal geo-coffee gathering at Kaffe 101 and…..

STs of Norway’s 2-29 Days of the Year Finale – a fun dinner at the Venture Inn.

Dr. Charlie's prize cupcake at the morning event.

Those that have completed the challenge! (Dinner Event)
