Cachemas is back. Everyone should know how this works, but if you don't. There will be twelve caches placed starting on DEC 14th-DEC 25th. If your lucky enough to be FTF on one of these caches you will get a FTF Cachemas Ornament. PLEASE if you are FTF on one of the Cachemas caches lay back and let others be FTF ( don't even go to the caches until a find is posted or all you'll be getting is coal ).Ornaments will be given out at an event I plan on holding just after the new year.
Also I want to add that there will be a 13th Cachemas puzzle cache that you will only be able to find if you get all 12 Cachemas Caches. On the lid of every cache there is a number, write that number down. You will need it to solve Cachemas Day 13.
Ok, So this is a pretty simple multi-cache. In order to find the final simply go to the posted coordinates and find a bench with a small plaque on it. Count the letters in the top line, multiply that by ten and subtract three. That two digit number will be A and B of the North coordinates. Then count the letters in the second line, subtract four from that. This number will be C of the W coordinates. Finding the cache from there should be straight forward.

NOTICE: Please be respectful of the posted park hours. If you enter the park after hours you are trespassing. If you are stopped you can be ticketed or arrested and will put the future of geocaching in the parks in jeopardy. Special permission to hide caches in St. Louis County parks is NOT needed as long as the Groundspeak rules are followed. "Blanket Permission" has been worked out in advance with the park service. DO NOT CALL THE PARK as they cannot handle the calls. The Groundspeak cache reviewer does need to know exactly how and where the caches are hidden and what type of containers are used. The geocaching liaisons will notify the park service of new caches. Remember NO AMMO BOXES or PVC PIPE caches.
