31 Days of Geocaching in August

A few weeks ago Geocaching.com announced that August had been declared "31 Days of Geocaching".  For each day in August that you log a "Found It" or Attended" log you will receive a special souvenir for that day.  In preparation for this special month local cachers in the area have been publishing all sorts of events for each day in August.  All you have to do each day in August is find one geocache and/or attend one event and you earn your souvenir for that day.  To help you out I am listing all events (as of this date) in one location to help you earn your 31 day streak of souvenirs.

Note: for all the AACC events in August, I plan on being at (or near) GZ from about 5 (depending on traffic of course) till about 5:45.  If you are running late, call me - if you need my number, drop me an email at Suffolkpapa@gmail.com.
