Congratulations to GPS Derek and Barnie's Band of Gold for the FTF!

 

 

The Puzzle

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  To find out where the cache actually is, you have to solve a puzzle that will test your knowledge of common Christmas carols.  You will have to listen to an arrangement of Christmas carols which includes short sections from twenty different carols.  You must identify all twenty of them.  After you have identified all twenty, record the place in the alphabet where the first letter in the name is located (A=1, Z=26).  Divide the sum of these numbers by 1000 and add the number to both the posted latitude and longitude (in DD MM.MMM format) to get the location of the cache.  Good luck!

 

 


Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
