Geocache Description:


Do you get that feeling the GRINCH is about to suck you in again?

THEN WELCOME TO GRINCHMAS 2010.
Another year has passed and much to the Grinch’s delight
A new host of followers have been added to his might
These Grinchettes are trained, ready and able
To add to the Grinches great glory and stupendous fable.

jamM Claus has recuited some Secret Santa’s
But rumor has it they’re only a bunch of rotten bananas
The Clauses slippery tricks, mirrors and/or smoke
Will still not stop the Grinch from giving him a stroke.

The Grinchmas strategic plan is all set
Which has caused jamM Claus to break into a big sweat
Bring on Donna, Blitnz, Dancer or any other Cacher
Because you know what, big guy? The Grinch has the answer.

-Muggle Grinch-

IMPORTANT:To accomodate the masses, their mumbles and their grumbles about not being in their backyard this year's caches due to the hiders, will be hidden far and wide from the Hartford Area to beyond (or slightly west of)the New York line. So set your notifications accordingly.

In disruption of the holiday season “The Grinch” and his minions the grinchettes, a/k/a WhoDats, are devious enough to present “The 13 Days of Stealing Cachemas”, a cache series running from December 24 to January 5 modeled after a familiar Christmas story by DR. SEUSS. For each of the 13 days (I like that number) a new cache is released. In addition to the winter-friendly fun, each cache WILL CONTAIN A CLUE TO THE IDENTITY OF THE HIDER, which you WILL NEED to find to the coordinates for THE final prize cache where a special gift awaits you (unless it has been stolen.) The “Prize” is something stolen by the Grinch. There is no need to trade or steal – BAD luck to all of you.

To find this cache DO NOT GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES.

(Unless you want to see Cachemas Headquarters)


Instead find the 13 Grinch caches, collect the clues,( hider identities) and Total them. You must include all characters, including spaces in the cacher’s OFFICIAL name on the geosite. No nick names or shortcuts. For example “Mrs._Cacher” is a total of 11 characters as is “Lost Kitten “ and “Jacky&Jilly” When you have the TOTAL, multiply it by 8352 this will be your ID ( no spaces or commas ) Now multiply the TOTAL by 7839 this will be your PW( no spaces or commas)

-Have a Miserable Cachemas- from THE GRINCH.




DISCLAIMER, (Please Read Carefully Before Starting The Series As Our Menu Has Changed)

Keep cool; process and find promptly. Post office, FedX and UPS will not deliver:You have to find them. Coordinates were accurate at the time of hiding.

Warning practiced on a closed geocache site by professional cachers. Cachers do not carry cash. Some of the cacher trademarks mentioned in this product appear for incrimination purposes only. Decision of CTReviewer is final.

Grinch and his brands and all of the caches he hides guarantee non purity and non quality, not fun of hides. If after finding any cache and logging it for a reasonable amount of time ( maximum 3 minutes from date of find), a cacher determines it to be unsatisfactory (defective), the cacher should (upon authorization from Grinch ) return the log entry to the geocache website for removal of a find. Credit toward another find or a travel bug less shipping and handling fees, will not be considered. This supersedes all previous notices.
