Geocache Description:


WELCOME TO GRINCHMAS aka THE GRINCH WHO WILL STEAL CACHEMAS, And he can.
Last year much to the Grinch’s dismay
The disruption of Cachemas did not go his way
So time has passed and many lessons were learned,
This year the Grinch is determined not to be spurned.

While jamM Claus may hope the Grinch would not last
He is about to find out he will soon be surpassed.
As the lines are clearly drawn in the sand,
The Grinch's battle is going as planned.

Let POFE publish those jamM Claus caches
Cause the Grinch is waiting to turn them to ashes.
JAMM will whine again and cry foul play,
But the great one POFE will say NO WAY.

-Muggle Grinch-

In disruption of the holiday season “The Grinch” is devious enough to present “The 13 Days of Stealing Cachemas”, a cache series running from December 24 to January 5 modeled after a familiar Christmas story by DR. SEUSS. For each of the 13 days (I like that number) a new cache is released. In addition to the winter-friendly fun, each cache may contain a clue to the coordinates for THE final prize cache where a special gift awaits you (unless it has been stolen.) The “Prize” is something stolen by the Grinch. There is no need to trade or steal – NO and BAD luck to all of you.

To find this cache DO NOT GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES.

(Unless you want to see Cachemas Headquarters)


Instead find the 13 stolen Cachemas caches, collect the clues, and use them to figure out the final coordinates to the "park" for this cache.

The "park" is closed from dusk to dawn.


-Have a Miserable Cachemas- from THE GRINCH.




DISCLAIMER, (Please Read Before Starting The Series)


This cache is meant purely for the Grinch's recreational purposes. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is intentional. Void where prohibited unless you are caught. Some disassembly required. Dead batteries included. Contents may settle during cache finds. Use hints only as directed or as a last resort. Do not cache while operating a motor vehicle or heavy gps equipment. Subject to Pofe approval. This is not an offer to sell geocache items. Maybe too intense for some cachers. Do not disturb wildlife. If condition persists, consult Pofe. No user-serviceable parts in caches. Freshest if found before cachemas series release date on cache pages. Subject to co-ordinate changes without notice. Downloading cache page constitutes acceptance of agreement and your stupidity. For off-road use only. As seen on geocache site. One size "nano" gives fits to all. Many caches look alike. Cachers may, in time, fade. I have written cache descriptions which seem to be right for you. Slippery when wet especially in water. For caching use only. Not affiliated with the cachemas series. Edited for caching. Keep cool; process and find promptly. Post office, FedX and UPS will not deliver. You have to find them. Coordinates were accurate at the time of hiding. Not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from any DNF’s, error or failure to perform. At participating coordinates only. Penalty for finding ahead of publishing. See hints for sequence. Substantial penalty for micros. Falling rock or rock falling your call. Your log is your receipt. Caches sanitized for your protection. Sign log book without admitting guilt. Cachers and their families are eligible. Beware of reindeer. A few cachers have been briefed on some hides before the release. Limited time offer. Find now before next year to insure prompt credit. You must be present to find. No passes accepted for this engagement. No purchase necessary. Processed at location stamped in code at top of the cache page. Cache only in a well-ventilated area. Keep away from fire, flame, or muggle. Replace with same type if it needs maintenance. Approved for veteran cachers. Better chance of finding for two or more. Not tax deductible. Some equipment suggested is optional but necessary. No Canadian coins accepted. Reproduction strictly prohibited. Procreation at your own risk. No solicitors. Sales people only after bribes. No alcohol or horses. No anchovies unless otherwise specified. Cache package, not for resale. Do not try this at home. Call toll free before digging. Warning practiced on a closed geocache site by professional cachers. Cachers do not carry cash. Some of the cacher trademarks mentioned in this product appear for incrimination purposes only. Decision of Pofe is final.

Grinch and his brands and all of the caches he hides guarantee non purity and non quality, not fun of hides. If after finding any cache and logging it for a reasonable amount of time ( maximum 3 minutes from date of find), a cacher determines it to be unsatisfactory (defective), the cacher should (upon authorization from Grinch ) return the log entry to the geocache website for removal of a find. Credit toward another find or a travel bug less shipping and handling fees, will not be considered. This supersedes all previous notices.
