Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!


The Twelve Days of Christmas are the festive days beginning on December 25th, Christmas Day, and ending on the evening of January 5th, or the Twelfth Day of Christmas. January 6th, the day after the Twelve Days of Christmas, is known as Epiphany.

“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is an English Christmas carol featuring a series of increasingly grandiose gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas. Although it was first published in England in 1780, there is some evidence that the song may be French in origin.

“The Twelve Days of Christmas” has been one of the most popular and most-recorded Christmas songs throughout the past century. There are slightly different versions (including one of my favorites from Straight No Chaser).
For an example of lyrics, see here.

While the twelve days officially starts on Christmas day, we’rechanging the rules a little with this series—The 12 days of Caching.

On the Tenth Day of Caching
my true love found for me,
ten mini mysteries,
nine million rocks,
eight trackables to move,
seven first to find prizes,
six possibilities,
a five difficulty puzzle,
a four level nano,
a three terrain hide,
a two stage multi,
and an ammo can under a tree.
