Geocache Description:

A Fox Hunt - No License Required - BYOP to solve clues
We are celebrating finding our 1001 cache before the end of 2012.
This is a fun cache/puzzle for the whole family.  You can hunt on foot or by wheels.
Some are in plain sight, some are being "foxy".  All are stone cold.
Muggles are numerous, so be stealthy.

The Den has multiplied. Now there are 15 beautiful foxes, some new , others with new coats. The posted coordinates take you to the center of their Den.  Find the Ten Foxes, solve the puzzle, locate the final cache, and sign the log.  In Winter, some might be hiding under igloos. Your challenge is to find the right 10.  Many now have their creator's signature at their base. Be careful if checking them out, so as not to disturb anything.

A brief description of each is listed below.
1. Fisher Fox - No. Seats in his Boat Plus 4 = (A)
2. Ref. in Red - Number on his Sleeve Plus 8=(B)
3. Celestial - No. of Gold STARS - Minus 3= (C)

Final Coordinates: N42 AB.CDE. W088 FG.HJK

Be gentle while visiting - you maybe "bitten by humans" if you disturb the surrounding vegetation.
You may post a picture of your favorite fox, BUT without giving away any hints he may be hiding.
Permission to place cache given by B.Blizzard, representing new property owner.
The final location is not our first choice, but the only one that worked for this area.   Have fun!!
