Geocache Description:


On the Night before Grinchmas Pofe released to me,


THE NIGHT BEFORE CACHEMAS aka THE NIGHT BEFORE GRINCHMAS.........THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CACHEMAS

So everyone likes Cachemas alot. I the, Grinch, hate the whole thing. All this fuss and excitment so "Much ado about Nothing" but that is another story.................................And so it begins.

'Twas the night before Cachemas and all through the State
All the cachers were stirring awaiting the date;
The caches were hidden by JAMM with great care,
In hopes that the Grinch would not spoil the affair;

Newbies were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of FTF's danced in their heads;
And Yodadog with his 'kerchief, and his wife in her wrap;
Had just settled down when she said “This is crap”,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
It was the Grinch who had yelled “ I'll take care of this matter.”
Away to the JAMM’s hides he flew like a flash,
To tear open the caches and make them all trash.

REMEMBER each cache in the series contains a clue to the final ….. Maybe. .....

P.S. If you see Jack "Stay HIGH" to join him in good spirits.

Parking is possible for two cars if done right or more parking is available across the road. The parking as of 12/23/08 is interesting because of the snow. High clearance vehicle recommend.

This is the first in the series of caches “The Grinch Who Stole of CACHEMAS”. For each of the 13 days beginning Cachemas Eve a new cache is released. In addition to the winter friendly fun each cache contains a clue to the coordinates for a final prize cache where a stolen gift is waiting for you. All the caches in this series are snow friendly or try to be and mostly family oriented with terrain and difficulty no more than 2.5 mostly due to short inclines on some.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE TO CROSS THE ROAD..................... PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE TO CROSS THE ROAD.
