Geocache Description:

BYOP and extracting tool recommended.
Keep your eyes open for rogue "reindeer".


BLITZEN The name Blitzen is German for "lightning." Donner and Blitzen? Thunder and lightning. Quick, beautiful and powerful. Blitzen was originally spelled Blixem, and sometimes appears as Blixen or Bliksem. The spelling Blixen may have come about to make the name rhyme better with Vixen. "Dunder en Blixem" was also a common Dutch phrase at the time, which literally meant "thunder and lightning" but idiomatically meant "hurry up!" There has been speculation that originally there were in fact only 6 Reindeer, and that the line of the poem that said "Dunder and Blixem" was an order from Santa for the 6 Reindeer to move faster.
