National Pig Day and Yellow Pig Day When : National Pig Day- always March 1st Yellow Pig Day - always July 17th About Pig Days- - National Pig Day recognizes and gives thanks to domesticated pigs. For some unknown reason, big, pot-bellied pigs seen in zoos, are often the symbol of the day. Pigs are clever and intelligent animals. But, most people are unaware of this high level of intelligence. They can be taught to do tricks. Some people even keep them as pets. Today is a day to give pigs the respect that they deserve. National Pig day is celebrated by zoos, too. Activities include Snort Offs, Pig Outs, and online Pig Chats. However you choose, do not miss celebrating this day. Yellow Pig Day is a mathematician's holiday celebrating yellow pigs (is there such a thing!?!), and the number 17. It is celebrated annually since the early 1960's, primarily on college campuses, and primarily by mathematicians. On campus, Yellow Pig Cake and Yellow Pig Carols are tradition! If you are a mathematician, spend part of the day thinking and working in multiples of 17. And, while you do so, give a little thought to yellow pigs. Another Pig Day? There is also some references to a "Pig Day" on January 17th. We found it in online calendars and on Ecard companies. We did not find it in any published documents. We did not find any factual evidence supporting this day on January 17th. Color of the Day: pink, of course!

Between the trade show and an evening of getting caught up one emails, there’s enough time for a few select caches. Thanks for the help with the Yellow Challenge. TFTC.

Found with BVBfan! and Geopokemongo. This one was a bugger to get with the snow falling, but we managed to get it. TFTC/SL

In town for the Supernatural convention and thought we’d have a little fun. We may have to try when there’s more light.

Out from Atlanta exploring Colorado with FLtravelers for a few days. He was able to finish all his counties, while I made more progress on the state. Lots of fun caches were found along the way, including this one.

After dinner, we had some time to kill before we had to get to the airport. We opted to stop for all the "quick ones" we passed by and made it right on time.

Flew out to Denver with zanna to grab a cache in the smattering of counties I had left in Colorado. Along the route we stopped for highly favorited caches, virtuals, earthcaches, webcams, Colorado's oldest, and whatever else that looked interesting. This was certainly one of these. Great spot. TFTC.

Quick find using maps, not gps.
