Rather than a traditional cache, for this “Under Ones
Nose” cache, there are a couple of festive puzzles to be
solved. These will give you two words, one for the Northerlies and
one for the Westerlies.
Once solved, convert the letters to digits via the usual method of
A=1, B=2 etc
The cache will then be found at N 53 21.NNN W 003 06.WWW
NORTHERLIES

WESTERLIES
In the paragraph below, the names of 25 books of the Bible are
hidden. The names often stretch across multiple words or even
lines.
This is a most remarkable puzzle. Someone found it in the seat
pocket on a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu, keeping himself
occupied for hours. One man from Illinois worked in it while
fishing from his john boat. Roy Clark studied it while playing his
banjo. Elaine Victs mentioned it in her column once. One woman
judges the job to be so involving that she brews a cup of tea to
calm her nerves. There will be some names that are really easy to
spot... that's a fact. Some people will soon find themselves in a
jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily
capitalized. The truth is, from answers we get, we are forced to
admit it usually takes a minister or a scholar to see some of them
at the worst. Something in our genes is responsible for the
difficulty we have. Those able to find all of them will hear great
lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation may
help. Books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their
numbers. And punctuation or spaces in the middle are normal. A
chipper attitude will help you compete. Remember, there are 25
books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph.
Just find the middle (13th) book of the bible in the above
paragraph
