Geocache Description:

Starting point for Christmas Cache 2009 multi

********************************************************************
** Congratulations to tombraider4 on a very quick FTF *****
********************************************************************

This is a multi-stage cache for this years challenge.
There are 4 stages and the final and each stage provides details needed for the next stage.

They are all objects to look at and get numbers from.

The only actual cache is the final.

This cache can be walked or driven with parking near to each cache location (not always free). The total walk is about 3 miles, but the day we set this there was 6 inchs of snow so it was very cold.

Good Luck and have fun.
