366 Days of the Year Challenge Event
There is an event in the works to celebrate those that will be completing the days of the year challenge on Feb. 29th, 2012. For those of you working on that challenge the goal is to cache every single date on the calendar but it doesn't have to be the same year, this will be a celebration just for you! If you have a grid on your caching profile showing if you've cached on Jan 1st for instance then it should also show if you've ever found a cache on Feb 8th or any other date of any year since you've been caching. If, as of Feb. 29th, 2012, your grid is completely blacked out then you have cached on every date of the year over the time that you've been caching. You are especially invited to join the celebration along with anyone that wants to join us as well! There are no specifics at this time since the event is over a year away but the event planners would like you to know that it's in the works so if you haven't thought about working on this challenge, you still have plenty of time to to it! I have 63 days out of the year left to black out and many of them in the winter so I've got 2 winters to get this covered. Any type of cache logged can be used to black out your calendar. If you have no idea what I'm talking about check out my profile and look at the DAYS of the YEAR grid. Join the fun on Leap Day, 2012!

I have been working on it, too. I just got October and November blacked out. I have my work cut out for me in this month and next with only 20 of the 62 days with finds. I hope I can join the fun on leap day 2012!

I've been working on my grid, as well, since I heard about the challenge a few months ago. December and January are going to be busy caching months for me this year - normally that's when I "hibernate," and my grid reflects as much.

I already have some leap-day finds, but I will gladly attend a leap-day event in 2012.

I;'m up for trying this!!!

Tomorrow is going to be interesting - I have a blank square and no other plans, but the weather has a vote - that's probably why I have the fewest finds in December, followed by January. But I don't want that blank square sitting there taunting me for the next year!

Intersting. My biggest gaps are in the months or June, July and August. I've got Jan, Feb, March, Nov and all but one day in december wrapped up.

The winter months are why you leave the caches closest to your home or work for those days you don't want to venture far or the weather is nasty. Doesn't work for FTF hounds but for the rest of us...it helps!

Heard about this idea when we were at Breakfast Buddies last Saturday. We have five days left. None of them are February 29. Yeah! However.....due to a late evening and a squirming grandson, we missed October 1 on a so-called easy park and grab (which of course we found instantly the next day sans grandbaby). Otherwise, we'd (hopefully) be done on January 20. Sounds like a great idea for an event, we'll probably be there!
