Hey, today is everything it's quacked up to be. Lame Duck Day is set aside to give recognition to people whose tenure in a position is running out.

Okay, so you are probably thinking that a "lame duck" is a duck with some sort of injury. If only that were the reason for toady! Rather, a "Lame Duck" by human, definition is a person who is in a position of some kind, and will soon be "shown the door". The best example is an incumbent politician who lost in the November elections. They usually remain in office until the beginning of January. It also applies to leaders, managers, etc, who are retiring or whose term of office is up.

During the interim period, a Lame Duck is usually far less effective, and frequently ineffective. After all, loyalties will soon shift. It's impossible to rally the troops to one more cause or project.

On Lame Duck Day...

If you are a Lame Duck: Enjoy those final days. Reflect upon you successes, and the joys and rewards the position provided to you. Kick back a little and have some fun today, and in the remaining days.

If you know a Lame Duck: Supporters should provide recognition and support. Non-supporters can cut the Lame Duck a little slack today. They will soon be gone.

If you are a duck and you are lame, seek medical attention.

Nicely done. Signed log.

Thanks imusttravel2000 for giving me a reason to get outside. It’s always worth it when you are enjoying nature. There is nothing better than acting like a kid again, digging through weeds and climbing trees, all to sign my name on a piece of paper.

Found with Cachly for IOS.

Found after picking up rental car and starting drive to Vail for a meeting. Ugh... got turned around and ended up on a toll road and to make it even worse, the street at the exit was closed, meaning I had to get back on the toll road again! Sheesh! Well, at least I found this one at the exit! LOL TFTC SL TNLN

Visiting from Northern Virginia. Just got off the plane; made a quick stop at the quickie micro in the "road closed" section. Got back in the car and saw this one. It had fallen out of its spot and was on the ground between there and the pole. Saw prairie dogs while walking over :) Took two marbles; added some swag; put it where it should be.

Now is the time to go for this one, while you can park in the "road closed" section. TFTC :)

Glad to get a quick cache during a long layover!

Everything Below is a generic disclaimer I (shamelessly) put in to admittedly add log length to my logs for a challenge requiring longer log averages.

A huge thank you from myself for all you've done for the geocaching community. Whether a brand new cacher, or a seasoned veteran, geocaching continues to be fun for me because of caches like yours that you took the time to make, the time to hide, and the time to maintain. I hope you continue geocaching as often as you can, I hope to see you at future events and most importantly, I hope you continue to help this amazing game grow by hiding future caches and maintaining your old ones!

If you would like to check me out or follow me on social media, I'm found on all sites as SoDakZak (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) and I'm also a frequent contributor to the Geocache Talk podcast on iTunes and YouTube. Hope you enjoy my scenic photos, daring videos and discussions over audio I have!

Please feel free to message me any time you want and have an amazing day!

All the Best,
-SoDakZak
