This cache has been archived.

Six Little Spookies: Gone again. Look for a new cache to replace Day 5 for the 12 Days Of Christmas sometime this summer. In the meantime, you can still use your free hints from Day 8 and Day 10 to get the clue that was inside Day 5.

Check out the spoiler photos of what you were looking for. You can see why the squirrels kept stealing it!

Geocache Description:

This cache is the Fifth Day of the 2008 Fort Walton Beach Twelve Days Of Christmas. There is a clue written inside the cache container. This clue is necessary to solve the Bonus Puzzle Cache: Newton Tried It (GC1JQZH)

You are seeking a nano. Yes, a nano in the woods. Sorry about that.

As this cache intends to exercise your powers of observation and not your GPSr accuracy, here is a description of GZ: Ground Zero is a small circular grouping of oak and pine trees about 10 feet across. The largest oak is 12+ inches in diameter and the other live trees all have trunks 6 inches or less. There is a large dead pine that is leaning through the circle on the eastern side. Good Luck!

Please put the container back exactly where it was. It will become impossible to find if you don't!

All the usual Eglin Range issues may apply depending on the times and seasons: thorns, snakes, ticks, bears, alligators, thorns, UXO's, thorns, hurricanes. Oh yeah: Thorns.
