Geocache Description:





We are pleased to present “The NoVAGO 12 Days of Cachemas”, a cache
series running from December 25 to January 5 modeled after a familiar
Christmas song. Starting on December 25th, one new cache in this
series will be released each day, until “The 12 Days of Cachemas” song
is complete. Each cache in this series will contain clues. Collect all
clues and figure out the location of the prize cache with some very
special prizes.

This series was inspired by the CVGA and the Richmond area geocachers,
who placed a 12 days of Cachemas series last year.

E-mail CO for Cachemas code.

One in Three Shot

The original Micro in an Ivy Patch was compromised and had to be archived in order to preserve the Cachemas Season Stats of all the Cachers who dared to find it before it really did disappear.Santa is very kind though and wanted to make sure that all the Cachers in the World could still find the 2009 NoVAGO 12 Days of Cachemas Final GC21PD1. So Santa dropped off three nearby micros, any one of which will give you the Cachemas smilie and the starting code to find the 2009 NoVAGO 12 Days of Cachemas Final. Feel free to look for any one of them or all five if you like, but only one find is necessary and one log is allowed--Email Cache Owner for starting code So if you have trouble finding #1 or Muggles are too near, move on to #2 located at N38 47.978 W077 02.545. Tis the Season and we all want you to find the Novago 12 days Final – have fun. And for all those that already found the original Ivy Cache – You Rock! That was a tough one and it is certain to reappear at another, less exposed location soon. Feel free to run out and get another Smilie for finding this one.
