Many of us enjoyed the Leap Day Festivities. A and I attended two events here in Colorado, (we live both in Chili, NY and Denver, CO–and love the caching communities in both places). And we picked up 9 non-event caches and traded quite a few TBs. And–like many others– we completed our quest to fill out the whole calendar year dates. (And we picked up the special coin as a tangible souvenir of this as well as the art souvenir that is now on our page). Thanks for making this such a special thing. Emotionally–it linked our communities of cachers with others throughout the world.

February 29, 2012 will be a day I always remember. My father passed away at 8:43 PM after a 10 year battle with Alzheimer’s. But, I did get out and find 14 Caches around Anaheim Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Angels. This is a two fold blessing. Dad was a 19 year season ticket holder for the Angels and mom and dad are the one’s who introduced me to Geocaching. I have been caching since 2002 and today I finally hit 1,000. Mom and dad recorded over 1,100, most of them found with a Yellow Garmin eTrex, manually entering each cache coordinate and printing out what caches they were going to find. AH, the good ole days! So here is to you, mom and dad, and to Geocaching, both will live on!

Yup. The souvenir should look suspiciously like the image on the iPhone in the blog post.

We hid a Leap Day thematic cache and ventured out to snag four.
Wonder how many total caches were logged as found?
What percentage of total geocaching accounts does 79,472 represent?
We will do a big event in 2016!!!

I hosted a meet and greet and had a great turn out! I was so excited to have as many people attend in the rural community we live in!

I had the pleasure of attending two Leap Day events. I got the icons for that. I think the organizers should get something special also. Maybe an orgainizing icon. Food for thought.
